Itinerary
We schedule two sessions on the day of the workshop: a morning session that begins with meeting half an hour before sunrise and an afternoon/evening session that runs from mid-afternoon to after sunset. Each session lasts three to four hours. Participants are welcome to join both sessions or choose to participate in just the morning or evening session based on their preferences. The workshop begins as you head to carefully selected locations, chosen based on the time of day and light conditions. Your guide will offer expert tips, from choosing the right angles, framing, adjusting your camera settings, and other invaluable photography tips tailored to help you capture Yosemite’s grandeur. Throughout the day, you'll venture to lesser-known spots, allowing you to photograph more secluded, intimate views of the park’s natural beauty. The experience culminates with sunset photography, capturing the magical hues of Yosemite’s peaks as the sun fades.

About Yosemite National Park
Yosemite is a national park in California's Sierra Nevada, famous for granite cliffs, giant sequoias, high waterfalls and meadows below the peaks.
Yosemite National Park covers a wide stretch of the Sierra Nevada in California, with Yosemite Valley, carved by glaciers, at its heart. Sheer granite walls rise on either side of the Merced River: El Capitan, a favourite of rock climbers, and Half Dome, a rounded summit, tower above the valley floor. Yosemite Falls drops in several stages for a total of about 740 metres, among the tallest waterfalls in North America.
