Whether you’re an experienced Grand Canyon photographer looking for a fresh vantage, or a newcomer trying to take in as much as possible, this workshop is just the ticket.  With shoots and professional instruction on both the North and South Rims, scenic trails, and the geologic wonderland of the canyon floor, participants will capture wide-ranging images—from the intimate to the expansive. The workshop will begin with a review of the basic photographic principles and camera functions, and how to combine them to make images with impact. After an initial shoot at the South Rim’s breathtaking Shoshone Point, the group will be shuttled to the North Rim to begin a transcanyon hike that will visit a string of aesthetic marvels such as Roaring Springs, Ribbon Falls, Phantom Ranch, the sandy banks of the Colorado River, Garden Creek and Plateau Point. This is one-stop shopping for the serious landscape photographer looking for an exciting look at the canyon from the inside out.

Participants must have comparable backpacking experience and be familiar with their personal camera gear.
