IN THIS SEMI-PRIVATE WORKSHOP, you will explore the diverse culture, architecture and landscape of Northern New Mexico in this workshop, learning how best to capture the “power and beauty” with your camera.This workshop is for photographers who want more personal and one-on-one help during their photographic journey. Craig will adjust the schedule to the needs and preferences of the group. The workshop will be limited to four participants and is based in Santa Fe.Georgia O'Keeffe. Frederic Remington. Elliot Porter. Laura Gilpin. Marsden Hartley. Come and live for yourself the land that influenced these artists’ ways of seeing, thinking, and creating. We’ll consider aesthetics of New Mexico — a way of seeing land and light, people and place, mountain and mission — that calls for a new approach to taking photographs, appropriate to this climate and culture.

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 from the hip for those marvelous spontaneous moments; and the patience to set up your tripod and wait for the magical light of New Mexico. Subjects that you will have the opportunity to photograph could include: historic adobe haciendas and churches, creeks and ponds, desert and mountain landscapes, shepherd’s hut or, farmhouse, trees, sunrises and sunsets.

This workshop is open to all photographers interested in exploring the diverse culture, landscape 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.
