Landscape Photography Workshop
Join mother and daughter photographers Lapita and Tyana Arviso for a hands-on creative experience highlighting photographic techniques that encapsulate the beauty of the desert landscape.
Together we will learn to honor the beauty of land through the practice of photography. Workshop participants will spend an afternoon in the fields at Moon Horse Ranch learning to photograph the flora, fauna, land, and sky. All backgrounds, cameras, and equipment are welcome; please reach out to Lapita and Tyana if you have any questions on specific camera and equipment needs. This workshop is limited to 20. Two full scholarships for creatives looking to expand their skills are available; to apply for a scholarship please click here.
Enrollment options: to allow for a wide range of schedules and backgrounds you may choose one day or both days.
Because no one can control the movements of the sky, we ask that workshop participants come in a spirit of humility, being willing to be present and learn whatever the weather.
