Our photography workshop offers a unique blend of breathtaking experiences that you won’t want to miss. Join us in the early days of summer to explore stunning wildflowers and capture the vibrant colors of nature in all their splendor during the afternoon. After the sun sets, get ready to capture the Milky Way in all its majesty.

With expert guidance and access to some of the best locations in Colorado, you’re sure to hone your skills and capture breathtaking shots that you’ll cherish for a lifetime. Beginners are welcome. Don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity to experience the best of both worlds with our exclusive photography workshop.

We will park close to our photography locations. There is no strenuous hiking. Restrooms are sparse in the area but we will plan some pitstops. The photos on this page were all taken in the general Ridgway, Colorado area. All of these scenic spots are possible photo locations for this workshop but we will not be able to see all of them during our short day/night. We will pick the best locations based on the current conditions.
