Explore the wondrous hoodoos of Bryce Canyon and the unique slot canyons of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument on this 6 day photo workshop in Southern Utah, home to some of the best light for landscape
photography in the world.
Pending weather, we will spend at least 2 1/2 days in Bryce Canyon National Park, 1 1/2 days in Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments, and the balance of time in other unique red rocks locations.
Subjects will include, but not be limited
to: Unique rock formations, natural arches, slot canyons, canyon rim vistas, and night photography in internationally recognized dark skies parks. We will end the workshop with a group slide
show and critique.
About the Photographer:
Colin is an award-wining photographer who
has spent the past decade exploring the red rock Canyonlands of Southern
Utah. As a part time resident of Moab
since 2011, he has spent several weeks a year exploring the photographic riches
in and around Southern Utah in every season. He
is a certified photography travel guide in Arches, Canyonlands
& Bryce Canyon national parks, as well as Bears Ears & Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments.
Skills Needed
All skill levels are welcome. Participants who have a basic understanding
of digital workflow and knowledge or exposure to Adobe Photoshop or Lightroom
will get the most from this workshop.

accessible, the hilly terrain requires some moderate hiking (typically 2-5 miles round trip). Participants MUST BE IN GOOD PHYSICAL SHAPE

boots
and use caution on slippery and rocky slopes. Keep in mind that the
elevation in Escalante is 5-6000', and Bryce Canyon is 8-9,000'
above sea level.

Rather than adhering to a set itinerary, we will stay
flexible so that we optimize our time in the field, giving you the best chances
to capture great images based on weather and lighting conditions. For the Bryce Canyon part of the workshop, we plan to

for additional shooting locations, instructional sessions, and down time. The slot canyons in the Escalante area are best photographed during the day, and involve more hiking.
