Join us for a hands-on field photography workshop
in Yosemite National Park in late April. This workshop
will explore four different areas of the park with
group shoots in the morning and afternoon. There will
also be ample free time to explore other areas of the
park with our cameras. Before the Yosemite excursion,
we will meet twice on campus to cover the basics of
landscape photography, drawing inspiration from the
classic black-and-white works of Ansel Adams and the
color photography of Galen Rowell. After the trip, we
will meet two more times in the classroom to review
student work from the weekend excursion.
This course is open to beginning- and intermediate-level
photographers looking to expand their shooting skills and
broaden their vision. Students must own and be familiar
with their cameras to take full advantage of this course.
The field shoots in Yosemite will take place on April 23
and April 24, with an optional shoot on the afternoon of
Friday, April 22.
Transportation, lodging, meals, and park entry costs will be
the responsibility of the student. Students are strongly urged
to reserve lodging in (or near) Yosemite National Park as
soon as possible. The instructor will be staying in the park
at Yosemite Lodge.
Tuition discounts are not available.
