2026 Landscape Photography Workshops, Night Photography Workshops

Our landscape photography and dark sky night photography workshops are filling fast, secure a spot or two while you can! Our registration process tracks enrollments, so if you are allowed to register, there’s room in the workshop! Come discover why many photographers are joining Jeff and Lori 3, 4, 5 or 6 times. Or more.

We lead workshops in the locations across the American West that we’ve chosen to visit for decades. Being local, we know the locations, but more importantly we know their seasonal conditions and how the light and how weather unfolds and evolves in those locations, in the prime seasons. This is where we live. This is where we play. Come out and play with us!

See sample photos from our past photo tours in the gallery below, and on the individual workshop detail pages.
