Glacier National Park the Crown of the Continent, a land of sheer beauty with stunning photographic locations from every angle and light flow. The Glacier Master Class Workshop will immerse you in over 1 million acres of towering, jagged peaks, cascading waterfalls, wild meadows, and sparkling waters. The raw splendor of glacial-carved terrain is unlike any other place on earth, and when you photograph that kind of vastness, it’s not something you’ll soon—or ever—forget. You will capture dramatic dawns along the Going to the Sun Highway and create emphatic compositions to lift your images from documentary to narration as you work with selected locations in the meadows of Saint Mary’s Valley and the backcountry trails. You will spend time juxtaposing plane and ground across waves of yellow glacier lilies in the snow with a mix of mountain goats, bighorn sheep, and the occasional grizzly bear. |
You will capture light, shadow, line, form, texture, and photograph: Goat Haunt Lake MacDonald Valley, Sacred Dancing Cascade Falls, Logan’s Pass, Saint Mary’s Falls, Trail of the Cedars, Avalanche Lake, The Highline Trail, and more.
The Glacier 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.
