Grand Teton Landscape & Wildlife Photography Travel Workshop

“In Wildness is the preservation of the world.” – Thoreau

The Grand Teton mountain range and the surrounding wilderness offers some of the most stunning natural landscapes and wildlife opportunities that any serious photographer could ask for.

Just ask Ansel Adams. He came here in 1942 and took his famous and beautiful image, The Tetons and the Snake River, bringing awareness and protection to this pristine environment. Just as then, the Grand Teton National Park is still wild, pure, and beautiful. Always the same, yet always different and mysterious, as each new sunrise and sunset give this landscape a unique look and feel from any day before it.

This travel workshop is designed to help you capture that unique look and feel through the lens, resulting in stunning images. Learn how to capture the best sunrise, sunset, and night images while visiting the most iconic and not so famous parts of the Grand Teton National Park. Wildlife is included. Great opportunities to get close to moose, elk, deer, bison, wolves, fowl, and bears will be provided.

All you need to do is bring your camera and a readiness to be blown away by nature. This workshop will provided the rest.
