May 6 - 10, 2025
Hello, Fellow Adventurers!
Imagine standing at the edge of the Grand Canyon as the first light illuminates the majestic landscape before you or capturing Sedona's famed Cathedral Rock at sunset. This May, we're embarking on a 5-day photo adventure through the American Southwest, where you'll capture breathtaking images at each iconic stop.
From sunrise on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon to the famous Monument Valley, each moment is curated for optimal photo ops and marketable shots. Join us for an unforgettable journey that combines professional instruction with unmatched scenery!
And the adventure doesn't stop there.
One of the absolute highlights of our journey is a Private helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon! Imagine soaring over the vast, rugged landscape, capturing a breathtaking aerial perspective of the canyon's depths, winding trails, and majestic cliffs. This is a rare opportunity to create once-in-a-lifetime images that capture the Grand Canyon from a unique vantage point.
And it's not just about capturing beautiful shots—but how to capture photos that can SELL!
You'll work with three world-class photographers and marketers who know how to capture the perfect shots and the PROVEN types of shots that SELL. With in-field coaching and editing sessions, you'll learn exactly what to shoot and how to edit it. After the event, we'll show you the next steps to selling your work online.

There will be no long or strenuous hiking or heavy physical exertion needed. People in their 20s-80s join us in these workshops. However, you must be able to walk up a few flights of stairs with your gear. If that is going to be a challenge, this might not be the best next workshop for you.
