The Banff and Jasper Landscape Photography Field Workshop is a weekend of intensive shooting and learning.  The emphasis of this event is on living a pro landscape photographers’ life during an intensive weekend of shooting day and night during the field workshop.  Bring multiple fully charged batteries and lots of empty memory cards.  Join me as I host a loaded weekend of outdoor photography for you.

You’ll have some reading material to give to you before you arrive in Banff to help give you to get a head start on the weekend.  I’ll also have material for you to access on the website after the weekend as well.  This material will help you to review what we presented to you during the workshop.  You’ll also be able to go back and re-shoot our beautiful Rocky Mountains at the same locations later on at your own pace.
