Glacier National Park Photographic Adventure
Wilderness Defined
GNP is considered by many to be the wildest place in America. The rugged beauty will captivate your heart forever. A true jewel in the crown of America. For those in photography, the majestic photos landed here will mark your work as a pinnacle and set it apart from others. Along with incredible majestic mountains, GNP offers up opportunities to photograph wildlife. The lakes and streams are lined a with a rainbow of rocks. This scalloped topography was the handiwork of massive glaciers, which carved through the landscape to give us "America's Switzerland."
Each day we will all work together to tell the story of Glacier National Park through a series of photos everyone will shoot. In the end a professionally designed and printed magazine will be published using the best of everyones work. Each photographer will receive multiple copies of the magazine. Your professional photographic mentor will work closely with each photographer to help them shoot better photos. Plan on photographing breath taking sunrises and sunsets. If conditions are right, night photography. Finally, be prepared to photograph bears, mountain goats, mountain lions, elk, big horn sheep, etc. This adventure is not just about helping you capture great photos, but to give you the experience of what professional photojournalist go through while on assignment, including the reward of seeing the best of your work in print.
