Arches & Canyonlands Landscape Photography Workshop
The Utah parks of Arches and Canyonlands are home to some of the most visually striking terrain in North America, making them an ideal setting for this immersive landscape photography workshop. With their iconic red rock formations, towering arches, and sweeping canyons, these parks offer an unforgettable canvas for photographers drawn to natural drama, texture, and color.
This is one of our favorite workshops to host, not just because of the scenery, but because the fall season brings a special kind of magic to the desert.
Why Join Us in November?
Fall is the perfect time to photograph this region of Utah. As the cottonwood trees turn a vibrant gold and the sun sits lower in the sky, the light becomes softer, shadows more dynamic, and colors richer. November’s crisp mornings often bring dramatic skies, offering moments that elevate every frame you take.
You’ll be guided through extraordinary photo opportunities across both parks, with each location selected for its compositional potential and changing light throughout the day. This landscape photography workshop is as much about creativity as it is about location — we focus on helping you bring your artistic vision to life.
What’s Included:
-
Meet & Greet session with your instructors and fellow participants
-
Field sessions at sunrise and sunset, with on-site instruction and guidance
-
Creative challenges designed to stretch your eye and technique
-
Post-processing class, either during the workshop or via Zoom after your return
