Details:

Come join Nathan St. Andre for a 4 day adventure photographing the wild landscapes of Escalante, Utah. July brings a unique combination of opportunities: the Milky Way shining over desert formations, dramatic monsoon clouds building across the horizon, and ever-changing light throughout the day.

This workshop is designed for photographers who want to slow down, explore, and embrace the unpredictability of the desert. We’ll travel by 4x4 through remote landscapes, camp under incredible night skies, and adjust our plans based on weather and photographic opportunities.

Our days will include sunrise hikes, canyon exploration, afternoon shade breaks, sunset compositions, and late-night Milky Way photography. Expect a balance of adventure, creativity, and time spent immersed in one of Utah’s most inspiring regions.
