Workshops

Dates were chosen based on the New Moon cycle for best possible Milky Way photography.  Locations aside from White Pocket (that is our overnight location), will be chosen unique to each workshop based on weather, Milky Way alignment & accessibility.  Rest assured, each Desert Expedition will have epic locations that will not disappoint.  

• All Inclusive Overnight to White Pocket (dinner, breakfast and all camping gear)
• Lodging at 5-Star AirBnb (meals not included)
• Transportation during tour to all locations.
• One-on-One photography instruction (prior to location shooting).
• One-on-One post-processing support during downtime.
• History & Geology Lessons
• Discounted ATV & hiking tours before & after the workshop (based on availability).  

As a full-time guide for Kanab Tour Company, I operate under their Commercial Use Permit.  Permitting is an important part of any tour.  it ensures the Bureau of Land Management receives their share of the profits to maintain our cherished public lands.  Operating with the necessary permits is not only REQUIRED, but shows our commitment to conservation and preservation of our public lands.
