One of the most scenic and dynamic landscapes of the American West is White Sands National Monument in southern New Mexico. In this combination field/lab workshop, you are inspired and challenged to capture the drama and beauty of the remarkable dune system that covers almost 275 square miles of the Tularosa Basin at the northern end of the Chihuahuan Desert.

Our adventure begins in Alamogordo, New Mexico as we spend two-and-a-half days at White Sands National Monument, exploring our creativity, expanding our visual and technical skills, and learning about the natural and cultural landscape that surrounds us. We then drive to Santa Fe and spend the next two days in The Workshops state-of-art digital lab to process and print our images. Tony reviews, discusses, and guides your image processing workflow, placing special emphasis on color management and archival digital printing using both Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom.

This workshop is designed to enhance your understanding of the photographic process, from capture to output. Tony shares the in-depth knowledge he gained from his 20-year career as a professional photographer and master printer, and as the National Park Service’s Chief Ranger for the Rocky Mountains and Southwestern United States.
Lengthy days in the field photographing the scenic beauty and drama of White Sands and its surroundings, then seeing your work come to life in the printed form, provide an invigorating and well-rounded photographic experience.
