Wilderness Photography Workshop

Early Morning Mist over the North Fork of the Flathead River Photo by David Marx The Wilderness Photography program was established through a generous donation in memory of John G. Batchelder. This program includes a searchable web-based image library on Wilderness.net and wilderness photography workshops.

The Wilderness Photography Workshop is an opportunity for participants to learn the intricacies of wilderness photography in scenic Glacier National Park. Out in the field at first and last light, participants shoot photos of fall colors, lakes and streams, mountain filled skylines and burned areas, as well as frost-lined leaves and morning-chilled insects. The Workshop is an opportunity to experience wilderness with a lens: focusing on light, color, form, and composition.

Transportation, instruction, camping and dinners provided; participants must provide camping and hiking gear and other meals. This introductory wilderness photography workshop is not geared for professional photographers.

The workshop will be led by David Marx.  David has been teaching digital photography since 2002 and has lived in the Glacier National Park area since 1998.  His photography has been featured in publications like Outside, Backpacker, Travel Montana, and Skiing Magazine.  His commercial work can be found on the Whitefish Mountain Resort website, in publications from the Rocky Mountain School of Photography, and for sale at iStock and Veer images online.
