THE BADLANDS of SOUTH DAKOTA
A Creative Journey Back In Time
The Old West captures the imagination like nothing else. The Badlands rise up dramatically from the Great Plains where many westward-bound pioneers in the 1800’s got their first glimpse of the challenges they faced. Sweeping landscapes, rugged rock formations, wide open spaces, the raw wildness, the untamed beauty. We will explore all of that and more in this exciting trip to Badlands National Park in South Dakota.
On this creative journey you will learn the fine points of Landscapes and Light. Lighting is the key to all successful photography. We will work on expanding your knowledge, instilling greater inspiration, and unleashing your creativity.

creative decision-making
assessing light and using it to your best advantage
