Grand Tetons has arguably the highest concentration of wildlife of any park in the United States, including Yellowstone and Alaska. While we can't guarantee you will see wildlife, we can certainly make sure we make every effort possible to use our in the field experiences to make sure we put you in the best possible places at the best times. Join our professional photographer on our small group 3-day photography workshop into Grand Teton National Park. This intensive field-based photography workshop will focus on finding, and safely photographing, the area’s abundant wildlife, as well as capture both classic and lesser-known landscapes throughout the 3 days in the field. We will spend our time in prime wildlife habitat within and around the national park. This will allow ample time and opportunity to safely photograph the area’s big game and predators in addition to learning wildlife photography techniques throughout the workshop. The Grand Tetons are home to elk, bison, bears, wolves, moose, and a large assortment of smaller game and birds that all call this park home. Most people would be content with just the wildlife options the park has to offer, but the Tetons are also a hot spot for landscape photography. From sunrise over the still waters of Schwabacher's Landing to watching the last rays of sun disappear over the peaks and the famous barns of Mormon Row, your instructor will make sure you're in a prime spot at the prime times to capture the best possible images of the truly amazing landscapes that the Tetons provide.

Fall is a great time to photograph Grand Teton National Parks with early snow in the mountains, migrating wildlife preparing for winter, and of course, the fall colors. Both aspen and cottonwood trees begin to lose their leaves, which will first turn a brilliant gold before covering the ground in a bright blanket of color.  This is the time to watch for competing bull elk, who are now in full rut, challenging each other for mating rights. As we explore the park, we will also look for black bears, who along with their larger cousins the grizzly, are constantly eating preparing for winter. During the workshop you will have the opportunity to photograph the amazing fall colors at some of the Teton’s iconic locations as well as time to track down some of the local wildlife. This workshop is designed to focus on the fall colors and beautiful landscape while keeping a vigilante eye out for wildlife.

Our small group size combined with an experienced photography guide will insure personalized attention, great wildlife photography and great landscape opportunities. Depending on group interest and ability, small day hikes are also an option throughout our time together. Group size is limited to 10 participants per workshop to ensure plenty of time for everyone to benefit from one on one conversation with the instructor throughout the tour. There will also be photo processing instruction and photo critiques available during mid-day breaks.

We put a lot of time into planning our workshops...from in the field research months ahead of time...to setting up itineraries days prior that take into account all the latest weather conditions and increase our chances of coming away with the best possible shooting situations. Our first goal is always to have students learn...but we feel so much better if they take home some killer images as well.

Wildlife... landscape... learning how to photograph both of them better; meeting new friends, and maybe seeing old friends from a past workshop... what could be better? How about doing all of this, surrounded by the beauty of Grand Teton National Park?

Please note: Due to the nature of Wildlife Photography there is no guarantee that specific wildlife will be seen during this workshop. We will be tracking wild animals, they come and so as they want. Please set your expectations accordingly.
