This workshop is your gateway to a unique blend of fun and learning in one of America’s most iconic landscapes.
​
Discover the Magic of Yellowstone
West Yellowstone, a gem nestled in the wilderness of Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho, is America’s first national park, established in 1872. Spanning an impressive 2.2 million acres, it is renowned for its geothermal wonders, dense forests, grand canyons, and pristine lakes. A haven for wildlife enthusiasts and photographers, Yellowstone offers unmatched opportunities to capture the essence of the American wilderness.
​
Winter Wonderland Awaits
During winter, Yellowstone transforms into a magical wonderland. Picture vast meadows blanketed in snow, rivers steaming in the cold from thermal activity, and geysers like Old Faithful sending plumes of water and steam into the frosty air. The landscape is teeming with wildlife, including bison, wolves, and elk, navigating this icy realm. From the dreamlike Grand Prismatic Spring surrounded by snow to the iconic silhouette of bison against the white backdrop, winter in Yellowstone is a photographer's paradise.

Capture the Unparalleled Beauty
This workshop offers a unique opportunity to photograph the magic, history, and biodiversity of this UNESCO World Heritage site. Under the guidance of Michelle Valberg, Keith Ladzinski and a talented team of expert educators, you'll hone your photography skills and create stunning images of Yellowstone's winter beauty.
