we expect to see on our journey may include Bison, Big Horn Sheep,
Coyote, Fox, Elk, Otters, Pronghorn, Deer, and Wolves, located in
and among spectacular environmental features and stunning backgrounds.

the Light" Photographic Instructional Workshops are designed
to enhance your visionary skills, as well as your technical execution.
Special emphasis is placed on creating images with Visual Impact.
Increase your proficiency while using compositional elements and light
to design in-camera images that are a cut above.
Our small group (limited to 5 participants) and private vehicles (10
hrs a field each day) allows us to make the most of each wildlife
encounter. Unlike other photo tours, we have the luxury of staying
on location for extended periods without the pressure of crowds.
