Choose a Sunrise Session with a hike or a Sunset/Night Session with no hike.About this EventJoin Monika Deviat, award-winning photographer and IGA hiking guide, for photography adventures in Banff National Park for World Photography Day! World Photography Day (WPD) is an annual, worldwide celebration of everything photography. It's a day for photography, no matter what nature delivers - explore, create, and experiment with techniques! WPD is a great motivator to get outside with your camera and create with an open mind. Banff offers many opportunities for photographers, from grand landscapes to tiny intriguing details in flora and geological features. There will be two separate sessions offered on August 19th, a sunrise session which will include a hike and a sunset session with no hiking, only short walks from parking areas.Generally, there is a theme announced for each year for WPD. Once the theme is announced, we’ll do our best to find ways to incorporate it into our day (as long as it can be related to nature).Don't miss this opportunity to celebrate World Photography Day in one of the most spectacular natural settings. Join in for one or both sessions, and have an unforgettable and inspiring experience!Sunrise Session Cost: 280 CAD + GSTMax 6 People, Includes Moraine Lake Shuttle and HikeSunset/Night Session Cost: 110 CAD + GSTMax 8 People, No hikingTBD: Virtual Editing/Image Review SessionPlease carefully read through the full details before registering: https://monikadeviatphotography.com/workshops/world-photography-day-banff-workshops/ https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/59e4a6c0-38b1-11f1-b722-efc438cbbabd-rimg-w493-h740-dc1b1613-gmir.jpg Sunrise Session - Hiking/Moderate Activity LevelFor sunrise we are headed to the iconic Moraine Lake!

Her teaching and training experience goes back over fifteen years, from tutoring and speaking at scientific conferences and seminars to group fitness classes and, in recent years, photography workshops. Her goal as a photography instructor is to ensure clients improve skills, learn some new ones, and that they walk away with enthusiasm to continue practicing and getting out to shoot.Whether you are new to photography or experienced in any genre, Monika will ensure you have an excellent time shooting and learning.\"Monika is obviously a great photographer who takes pride in the moments that she creates. What is not so obvious, and more importantly in my opinion, is that she enjoys educating people and is a great person. I have had the pleasure of taking a night photography editing course taught by her and have been in attendance for one of her night photography seminars. The passion that she has for the art of photography definitely shows through. In her course, she takes the time to teach. When she helps, she will give you her undivided attention at making sure you succeed in what you are trying to do. If you do not understand something that she presents, she will patiently ensure that what she is trying to convey makes sense to you.Furthermore, she enjoys sharing information and this is evidenced by her personal blog and other articles that she has published. These are the traits of someone who truly enjoys teaching about their craft.I can say that in the past years that I have known her, she is a pleasure to be around because she not only remembers people but takes the time to actually talk. If you have an opportunity to learn from her, either by taking a course, listening to her talk, or hiring her as either as an instructor or as a photographer, please do so. You will have no regrets.\"Bryan Mah Calgary, Alberta" } ] } ] ```
