Join Photographers Oliver Du Tre and Marc Koegel for this unique workshop, touring the Canadian Prairies.
This one-of-a-kind workshop will teach you how to make stunning black and white images across the Canadian Province of Alberta using a minimalist mindset for composition and creative camera techniques such as long-exposures to help capture deramatic clouds and weather.
Alberta is a photographer's dream come true and this workshop will have you out shooting at various locations, from abandoned homesteads, historic grain elevators, isolated trees, to endless fields and farmlands and more!
Capture rare images that only this Prairie landscape can deliver!

We will prioritize our time for practicing photography in the field, but both instructors have also prepared presentations. What is more, Oli and Marc are very well known for their in-depth feedback sessions of participants images, so feedback will of course be an important element of this workshop.
While photographing, participants will benefit from ample one-on-one time with both Oli and Marc. Let them guide you in creating your own powerful and meaningful photographs of the Canadian Prairies!
