| Lassen Volcanic National Park is perhaps the crown jewel of America’s national parks. It is a remote, nearly hidden land of jaw-dropping alpine lakes, steaming volcanic vents, splattering mud pots, boiling springs— and as you experience them, you will know that the earth is not quiet. In Lassen, you will experience Bumpass Hell and Boiling Springs volcano sites and filled with the soft edges of sulfur clouds. Photography, a renaissance landscape as new growth, overtakes the stark Redding Burn and then move on to quiet Lilly ponds filled with exquisite patterns and textures. You will explore and photograph along backcountry trails and roads, which will take you to remote and stunning locations during the golden hours and at other times when polarizing and neutral density filters can make a creative difference. |
You will capture light, shadow, line, form, texture, atmosphere, and photograph: Cold Boiling Springs, Bumpass Hell, Reading Burn, Kings Creek Falls, The Cascades Trail, Like Manzinita, Kings Creek Meadows, Hat Creek, and more.
The Lassen National Park Master Class Photography Workshop is a 5-day full immersion program that teaches a capture to post-production workflow to create fine art landscape photography. We are not a photography tour provider; we are a visual arts, photography education program. Thus, you will spend significant time at each location with your instructor to develop a deep understanding of your subject and theme and learn to complete your vision in post-production.
You will work in selected backcountry locations and learn landscape art visualization, creative approaches to sky and ground compositions, light atmospherics, and our’ work the scene-work the camera’ methods to capture and express your subjective thoughts and feelings. We provide lectures and instructions for the application of documentary, narrative, and navigation landscape art approaches. Masterclass students capture grand scenic, intermediate, and detail compositions with professional methods such as Stack Focus, Dynamic Range Capture, Lens Choice, ND Filter applications, ETTR, Landscape Gear Management, and more.
In the class conference room, you will learn an end-to-end post-production workflow with Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop to increase your work’s emotional range. You will learn foolproof methods with an instructor by your side to develop raw images, image segmentation, Lightroom luminosity and color techniques, color grading, tone principles, insights into landscape thematics, and how to create images that are ‘beyond the lens.’
Upon your return home, you will receive three hours of online post-production training. This is a one-on-one program to help you complete selected images from the Field and expand your ability to visualize the final image. You may also extend your one-on-one training for two additional hours as part of your Masterclass package for an extra $100.00 fee.
Our Masterclass Photography Workshops are small, intimate, collegial, and instruction is hands-on. Within your class, you will share ideas and experiences with fellow photographers who will become lifelong friends. We know that you will benefit tremendously from our guidance, advice, lectures, demonstrations, and reviews as we help you take your photography to the next level.
