GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK
MAY 18 - 22, 2025
Grand Teton National Park features some of this country’s most spectacular mountain scenery. For photographers, the park is a visual adventure to experience and capture with your camera. The centerpiece of this amazing Wyoming landscape is the Teton Mountain Range, rising from the Snake River Valley to touch the western sky. These high jagged peaks provide a dramatic background for reflections at Oxbow Bend, Jenny and String Lakes and the beaver ponds at Schwabacher Landing. The Tetons also deliver the perfect backdrop for the historic Mormon barns, Cunningham’s Cabin and behind the altar in the Chapel of Transfiguration. We will even take advantage of the Park's wide-open skies to create beautiful night images.
Doug shares his favorite places in the park and assists you during field shoots with any questions you may have. The group will gather for educational lectures on high contrast solutions, panoramic workflow and advanced compositional concepts. Meaningful critiques will help you improve your approach to landscape photography.
The scenes are endlessly majestic and enchanting, no matter where you find yourself during this remarkable workshop in the Tetons!

May 18 - 22, 2025

Each day will include field sessions in the heart of the Snake River Valley led by Doug at the best times for shooting, daily lectures to improve your photographic skills, and constructive critiques of your images.
