Travel Photography Workshops

Most photography workshops barely scratch the surface of this fantastic park because many of the “best” locations are only accessible using 4×4 high-clearance vehicles on rough backcountry roads.

We’ll trek to three of the most remote and spectacular areas of the park that seldom get seen: Racetrack Playa – where the famous “sailing stones” are found; the Eureka Sand Dunes – the tallest dunes in California and possibly North America; and the Ubehehe Crater – a half-mile wide volcanic crater.

As the first snowfalls blanket the valley, Yosemite is transformed into a winter wonderland full of opportunities to photograph the snowy landscapes and wildlife. The beautiful winter light creates superb sunrise, sunset, and night photography opportunities.

This workshop also includes Yosemite’s famous Horsetail Fall “Fire Fall.” This event occurs in late February (if conditions are right) when the last rays of sunlight set Horsetail Fall ablaze against the deeply shadowed cliffs during sunset.
