COLORADO FALL PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP
Join Kenny, Ryan & Ty for 5 days as we chase some of the most incredible fall colors you’ll find in Colorado. We’ve decided to offer a longer and more extensive workshop to not only focus on the structure of composition and the power of editing. BUT ALSO, teach you how to work with big brands and tourism boards to make money with something you’re already doing…Photography! In addition to us teaching our editing workflow and process in the classroom, we’ll be teaching you how to create a “Media Kit”. Perhaps you’ve been putting off creating a Media Kit for a while because you’re unsure of where to begin. Maybe, you don’t know what a “Media Kit” is. Creating one is a powerful tool that big companies and even smaller companies request in order to collaborate with them. Look at it as a digital resume that will ensure you look as professional as possible and have a higher chance of working with companies while monetizing your photography. A Media Kit can also help you stock up on camera gear that would of cost you hundreds, even thousands of dollars out of your pocket by simply trading your time and creating content for these companies. The possibilities are endless and we will guide you towards how to market your work to all different types of companies.

You’ll learn how to increase your chances at getting jobs and looking at the common mistakes people make when starting out.
Crystal Mill & Maroon Bells
The iconic Crystal Mill and Maroon Bells are bucket list spots for many. Unfortunately, the future of the Mill is unknown and is up for sale. NOW is the time to go! We will ensure you have a ride up to the Mill in an off-road capable vehicle and guide you straight up to this iconic beauty. We plan to arrive sometime before sunset and stay until nightfall to capture sunset, blue hour and stars at each location.
Catching that morning alpenglow on the peaks of Maroon Bells is a must! We will arrive prior to sunrise so we can photograph the magical peaks during blue hour light through sunrise.
Chasing Fall Colors
We have chosen peak times to chase the spectacular fall colors of Colorado. You’ll find yourself among many hidden gems in the ever changing enchantment of autumn to capture some of the best colors Colorado fall has to offer!
