Yosemite Photography Workshops
Our unique Yosemite Photography Workshops present opportunities to take control of your camera and achieve your artistic goals in a natural setting with personalized attention from your instructor. All workshops are open to photo enthusiasts of every experience level 12 months a year.
Spectacular views unfold as we walk through the landscape of Yosemite National Park while exploring aspects of composition, perspective, depth of field, motion, color, lighting, and natural history of your subject during our Yosemite photography workshops. We will discuss the techniques of wide angle photography, macro, and telephoto to isolate and simplify a subject. All the best landscape and nature photographers produce consistently great images because they not only know the technical and aesthetic aspects of their medium, but they also know their subject. Likewise, participants will discover the elements of Yosemite that make the park special from their geology, to the flora and fauna, and history. You’ll apply your newly found technical knowledge coupled with your personal emotion/vision to create meaningful interpretations of your session. Our custom half day photo classes last between 4 and 5 hours. The duration of our specially priced extended workshops will vary.

Minimum Requirements for all Tours: Any camera which offers manual control over the shutter speed and aperture. Digital cameras preferred because they offer instant feedback. An SLR with a pair of lenses (i.e. wide angle zoom and a long telephoto) would be ideal. We frequently encounter wildlife in these areas so a long lens is handy to have on hand. A tripod is strongly recommended. Bring food, water, sunscreen, rain gear, and sturdy walking shoes. Feel free to ask any questions about the content or requirements.
