Olympic National Park Masterclass

Olympic National Park is a temperate rainforest national park, that receives 14 feet of rain each year. The wet forests are home to elk who pasture along salmon-filled rivers. There are 73 miles of rugged and wild wilderness coastlines. Mysterious sea stacks stand guard along these pristine shores, while mountains loom in the distance. In the Masterclass Workshop you will photograph beautiful coastlines with sea stacks, pebble beaches, and tide pools. The deep shade and dark greens of old-growth rain forests, waterfalls, and glacier lakes will all be your photographic subjects. On the ‘Olympic’, the light and weather patterns shift quickly, and your visual studies will emphasize atmospherics, combine light patterns, and use creative bracketing to compensate for a broad dynamic range. The class will explore and photograph remote and stunning locations during the golden hours, and at other times, polarizing and neutral density filters can make a creative difference.

You will capture light, shadow, line, form, texture, atmosphere, and photograph:  Hoh Rain Forest, Hurricane Ridge Trail, Seastacks at Ruby and Second  Beaches, Sol Doc Falls and upper trail, Deer Park, and more.

The Olympic 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.
