If you’ve ever wanted to experience what it would be like to photograph incredible wildlife inside of a snow globe, I invite you to join me for a winter photography workshop at the iconic Yellowstone National Park. From bison, to foxes, coyotes, eagles and with some luck, wolves, you’ll be filling your memory cards with incredible images over four exciting days. Not only will you be photographing your hearts out, you will have access to not just one, not two, but three fantastic photography instructors. For this workshop, I’ve teamed up with the amazing team at Bozeman Camera. You’ll not only have myself in a private snow coach with you, but also two instructors from Bozeman Camera as well, creating a nearly 2-1 participant to instructor ratio. Joining us will be Marshall Lewis and another instructor, TBA. We will spend each day cruising around Yellowstone in search of fantastic moments, scenes and iconic wildlife. Departing at just before sunrise, we will have nearly 11 hours each day to make Yellowstone our photographic playground.
