WORKSHOPS
From what much of our website suggests, we have been involved with advertising, corporate and industrial photography/video and other related services for the better part of our business life.
What many people don’t know is that this plan was all started with our interest in photographing everything around us – our world. The natural world, the places where people live, and the people themselves. We’ve combined our work experience and the knowledge we’ve gained from countless assignments to destinations nearby and abroad, with our love of nature and the adventures to be found when we surround ourselves with it.
Each of our workshops embodies 3 elements – learning, sharing and exploring, and we excel at providing all three of these. We hope you will join us for an adventure that is sure to provide you with opportunities to elevate your photography skills.

Nestled between the tourist communities of Lake Louise and Jasper is 300km’s of the most glorious and beautiful scenery that you will find anywhere. Rated as one of the most beautiful drives on the planet, this will be our home for 4 days of learning, sharing and exploring with our cameras.
Jasper National Park is known for it’s lay-back, quieter style of tourism, and the community of Jasper reflects this. The park itself has an abundance of wildlife and untouched beauty, and far fewer visitors than its southern neighbour, Banff. You might be awakened in the morning by the bugling of bull elk, or share your breakfast time with the deer that frequent the community.
Nestled within the park is the town of Jasper, our home for the next 4 days, and the north starting point of the Icefields Parkway. We will start our days early to catch the morning light, and then spend mid-day at some of the other gorgeous locations along the Icefields Parkway. We will have more choices than time, and there will never be a lack of opportunities to keep our cameras busy.
FALL COLOURS

2x 1/2 day sessions each day
Fish Creek Provincial Pk.
15980 Bow Bottom Trail SE
Calgary, AB
Limited to 12 people
Difficulty level – 3/10
Suggested age – 12 to 75
Cost: 120.00 CAN/session
We have a number of locations that we love to visit in the fall, and one of these just happens to be right in our backyard. We thought we would share this secret with others and hold a Fall Colours Workshop here.
We are running two different Workshops on these two days, both are scheduled for the ‘magic light’ times of the day – early AM, and late PM. You can choose which one you prefer.
Fish Creek Park is the largest urban provincial park in Canada and offers a variety of landscapes typical of Southern Alberta river/creek valley flora. In the fall season, the large Cottonwood trees are showing off their best colours, with multiple shades of yellow and gold, framing the texture and detail of the thick bark covering their main trunks. Add the orange hues of the smaller bushes and shrubs covering the ground below them, and the possibilities are endless for somebody with a camera.
We will discuss a number of techniques that will help you capture the fine details of these scenes, and produce the best images possible. For those who haven’t visited the park before, you will have an opportunity to discover a new location that we think you will want to come back to many times.

Anybody looking for an off the beaten track adventure, but still wants the luxury of a great lodge, surrounded by spectacular scenery, need not look any further.
Situated on the coastal side of the largest national park in the United States, Kennicott Glacier Lodge offers spectacular scenery, untouched wilderness, mixed with friendly five star service. If the scenery isn’t enough to inspire your photography, the abandoned Kennicott Copper Mine just down the road will offer plenty of opportunity to explore history through your lens.
For the more adventurous amongst us, take a hike onto the Kennicott Glacier or into the surrounding mountains. Our days will be full of adventure and photo opportunities on a grand scale, with some of the highest mountains in North America surrounding us. Our evenings will be an opportunity to share our experiences of the day, and learn some new techniques.
We hope you will consider joining us.
