Myth, Magic & Metaphor: photographing canyon country
Skill Level: Open to all

Experience the most amazing landscape of
redrock canyon country in Utah. Each day students photograph a different landscape of fantastic sandstone rock formations in two of the
greatest National Parks in America – Arches
and Canyonlands. Our experienced guide takes
us off the beaten path to see breathtaking vistas, deep river canyons and ancient rock art.
In the evenings we use Adobe Lightroom and
Photoshop to edit, project and discuss each
participant’s pictures. In a landscape that resonates with myth, magic and metaphor, we discuss notions of “beauty in photography,” the
“cultural landscape” and other contemporary
topics relating to landscape and art. There is a
special evening excursion for night photography as well as portfolio reviews.
