Join us in a world of ethereal beauty with White Sands Dreamscapes, a 4-day, 3-night immersive photography workshop set against the rolling gypsum dunes of White Sands National Park. Designed for photographers who crave minimalism, creative compositions, and the magic of the night sky, this workshop will refine your skills while capturing some of the most surreal landscapes in the Southwest.
What to Expect:
📷 Minimalist Mastery & Lens Compression Techniques – Learn how to create striking, simplified compositions that emphasize scale, texture, and depth. Explore how lens compression transforms your perspective, creating unique and dramatic imagery.
🌅 Golden & Blue Hour Perfection – Stay within the park to capture the ever-changing hues of sunset and the soft glow of blue hour, crafting dreamlike scenes before night falls.
🌌 Milky Way Over the Dunes – Experience the magic of astrophotography as we stay in the park until midnight, capturing the Milky Way as it rises over the pristine white dunes.
🌉 Mexican Canyon Trestle Night Shoot – Journey to this historic wooden railroad trestle, where we’ll frame the iconic structure against a backdrop of dazzling stars and the glowing Milky Way.
🌵 Desert Details & Dynamic Landscapes – Focus on the delicate plant life that thrives in the dunes, playing with negative space and leading lines to create stunning minimalist compositions.
