IN THIS SEMI-PRIVATE WORKSHOP you will explore the diverse culture and landscape of Northern New Mexico in this workshop, learning how best to capture the “power and beauty” with your camera. Come photograph the enchanted land that profoundly influenced artists like Georgia O'Keeffe, Ansel Adams, Elliot Porter and many others.

We’ll consider an aesthetics of New Mexico — a way of seeing land and light, people and place, mountain and adobe mission — that is both a celebration and a challenge; to see the magic and beauty of New Mexico and to make our own images from intimate portraitures to magnificent landscapes.

Field trips involve exploring how to capture the essence of a place — from picking the best vantage point to photograph to knowing what filter to use; shooting natural light portraits; and learning the patience to set up your tripod and wait for the light. The challenge of the photographer will be to capture the intensity and beauty of people and place and of light and shadow. Subjects that participants will have the opportunity to photograph could include: historic adobe haciendas, ponds, desert and mountain landscapes, shepherd’s huts, farm houses, trees, creeks, chapels, a mountain man or cowboy with his horse, sunrises and sunsets.

This workshop is open to all photographers interested in exploring the diverse landscape, peoples and architecture of New Mexico with their camera. You should have a working knowledge of your camera, film or digital. Digital shooters must bring a laptop computer with editing software and be self sufficient with their computer and software.
