Zion Fall 2023

4000 ft sandstone cliffs going from red to white, emerald green waters, maple groves, wild turkeys, swirling and twirling Dr. Seussian trees... Zion is basically what I would create if I could turn dreams into reality. For this workshop, we will explore a range of new areas that photographers and tourists rarely visit.  It will require some hiking and work, but the brand new views you will witness will make your jaw drop. We will see the sunset between checkerboard cliffs adorned with bonsai juniper.  We will go beyond the Eastern canyon walls to witness the sun rise and set on pinnacles I have never before seen photographed to bring you truly unique images.

​

Then of course, what Zion workshop would be complete without visiting the main canyon to explore the Narrows and to see the drama of 4000 ft of sandstone.

Workshop Philosophy

I view photography as an exploration. Each new storm, each new moonrise, each new early snow is an opportunity to tell the story of our adventure with a unique vision.  I want you to experience the heat, the cold, the explosions of light, the screaming joy of capturing the perfect scene when the final gasp of the sun's red breath heats a peak just right - or when the lightning we've been chasing for days lashes across a dark escarpment, lighting hoodoos and monuments as few have ever seen. When you're done, I want you to know that you have created something that is entirely yours.
