Description

Embark on an unparalleled journey of discovery and transformation in the heart of the American Southwest with our exclusive 6-day photography masterclass. Nestled near Kanab, Utah, the Arizona Strip unveils a realm where nature’s artistry surpasses imagination. Our adventure is the gateway to the mesmerizing White Pocket formation within the Vermillion Cliffs National Monument – a treasure trove of geological wonders where the surreal landscapes of brain slabs, the whimsical Ice Cream Cone, The Pink Wave, and the mesmerizing swirls of red and white sandstone await your creative interpretation.

This is no ordinary photography class. It’s a 6-day expedition where our professional instructors will lead you into the heart of the wilderness, ensuring an immersive experience in the remote White Pocket area. Here, under the expansive desert sky, you’ll capture the magic of golden Sundowns with long blue shadows, astrophotography under the brilliance of a star-studded night, and the serene beauty of ginger sunrises.

But the journey doesn’t end there. Travel the backcountry in the safety and comfort of our 4×4 vehicles, where your creativity will be ignited by the unique formations of Hoodoos, the rugged Utah Rip Rap, the serene Red Canyon, the narrow passages of the Wire Pass Slot Canyon, the undulating Coral Sand Dunes, and the mysterious depths of Buckskin Gulch.

In our Masterclass, with a student-to-teacher ratio of 1:4, you’ll not only refine your photography skills but also master Creative Segmentation for post-production and the art of fine art printing. This Masterclass transforms you from a photographer into a landscape art photographer, empowering you to create images that transcend mere documentation. Join us and witness your vision evolve as you capture the essence of the American Southwest’s majestic landscapes.
