Announcing my 2025 one-day nature photography field workshop "Artistry in Nature: The Textures of Autumn.”. This workshop is designed to help photographers and photography enthusiasts to create compelling, artistic photographs in the hauntingly beautiful landscape of late fall in the Midwest.
This event will take place at beautiful and interesting Dolliver Memorial State Park, located near the small town of Lehigh, Iowa. This state park is known for its dense forest, hilly terrain, riverbank access to the Des Moines River, and compelling Native American burial mounds. It’s located about 90 minutes NW of Des Moines, 10 minutes south of Fort Dodge, and 60 minutes west of Ames, Iowa.
During this workshop we’ll thoroughly explore both the forest hills and the riverbanks, concentrating on the patterns, texture, and contours of the native landscape and its flora. We will cover camera & settings, composition, and exposure topics needed to create beautiful landscape, nature “portrait,” and macro images. But we’ll spend most of the day deeply diving into the artistry of nature photography: composition, image design, creative exposure techniques, and mood, among many other topics. It's a hands-on intensive course using a gorgeous landscape as the classroom. The late-fall landscape also lends itself well those wanting to up their black-and-white nature photography skillset. The overall focus for the day is to advance participant skills at simplifying the chaos of nature to create art from the beautiful textures found at this time of year.
This event is targeted at intermediate to advanced photographers who know basic camera settings and who'd like to improve their artistic skill in landscape and nature photography. You'll need your own DSLR or Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens Camera, a tripod, and enough media cards and batteries for a full day of shooting.
Pre-registration is required - $169 includes a full day of photography instruction and camaraderie with fellow photographers. Limited to 10 participants.
