Locations

Join our five-day photography workshop — 2008 participants wanted another day here — in the magnificent Southwest. The southeastern part of Utah is a glorious place to photograph, and the Arches, Canyonlands, and Moab area is a prime location. With blazing red sandstone, fantastical arches, cool canyons, and clear streams and rivers, there is no shortage of photographic material.

In addition to Arches and Canyonlands, we'll take you to some pretty special areas that we love and to which we have gained access. You'll be able to celebrate your passion for photography, hone your seeing and imaging skills, and learn about the magic of light to make wonderful photographs.

We'll be based in Moab where the stunning landscapes have made it perfect for the filming of numerous Westerns since the 1920s, evoking such names as John Ford, John Wayne, Maureen O'Hara, and Susan Sarandon and movie titles from "Stage Coach" to "Thelma & Louise." And for those who love geology, this area is a treasure trove, known for its rich variety of sandstones that take on the deep hues of sunrise and sunset.

In our print element, we will show you the ins and outs of successfully and easily printing from Lightroom using a high-quality Epson printer. In fact, in all our domestic workshops, you will end up taking home a lovely, large, archival print of one of your workshop photographs made with archival Epson paper and inks.

After all, our tag line reads, "Create great photos; make great prints!"
