The Old West is peopled with legends, but our West is full of vibrant and arresting people who are working and living under a glorious Western sky. New Mexican faces reflect both the intimate beauty, diverse cultures and rough grandeur of this incredible land.

THE WORKSHOP |
In this workshop in Santa Fe you will photograph several models each day including:
Working Cowboys and Cowgirls with spurs, chaps and working garb
• Native Americans in authentic regalia
• Flamenco dancer in traditional performance costume

These portrait subjects bring the west to life. All subjects are chosen to provide participants a fantastic opportunity to make emotionally powerful and artistic photographs.
