Embark on an exhilarating journey through the mystical landscapes of New Mexico’s Badlands, where the night sky becomes your canvas and stars your guiding light. My exclusive 4-day, 3-night Photography Tour is an immersive experience designed for avid photographers seeking to master the art of capturing the awe-inspiring beauty of the night.  We will be capturing the New Mexico magic from dusk until almost dawn at iconic locations such as Shiprock, the Bisti Badlands, & Chaco Culture National Historical Park after hours!

Highlights of the Tour:

🌟 Blue Hour Blending Mastery: Learn the art of blending images during the enchanting “blue hour,” when the sky transitions between day and night, creating a stunning canvas for your compositions.

🌌 Capturing the Milky Way: Explore techniques and settings specifically tailored for capturing the breathtaking spectacle of the Milky Way stretching across the desert sky, revealing its ethereal beauty.

📷 Median Stacking Techniques: Delve into the advanced method of median stacking, elevating your photography game by reducing noise and enhancing the clarity of your night shots.

🌠 Focus Stacking Expertise: Master the intricacies of focus stacking to achieve unparalleled depth and sharpness in your images, capturing every detail of the captivating Badlands scenery.

To ensure an intimate and personalized journey, I keep the tour groups small. This enables you to connect with fellow participants and receive one-on-one attention from me.

Your comfort is also my priority. I’ve taken care of the accommodation details, so you can focus solely on your passion for photography and the awe-inspiring beauty of nature.

My tour isn’t just about capturing stunning images; it’s about connecting with the heart of the New Mexico Badlands.

Join us on this unforgettable expedition to unravel the mesmerizing charm of the New Mexico Badlands from dusk til dawn. Capture the magic of the celestial canvas and refine your photography skills amidst an otherworldly landscape.

This all-immersive workshop also includes almost 8 hours of classroom setting editing courses so you can fine tune your style and create a cohesive gallery of your trip.
