Dinétah : Black and White Landscape

Landscape photography is formed by the point of view of the photographer. This workshop is designed to assist the photographer wishing to advance and refine their connection to the black and white landscape. The character of the landscape helps define the people who inhabit it and a sense of place that differentiates one region from another.  As you travel across Dinétah with Carlan, you will have the rare opportunity to slow down and take the time necessary to connect with this vast, ancient region’s compelling spirit, resulting in more powerful images.

One-on-One Approach

I believe that photography is not just about equipment but about capturing moments, telling stories, but most importantly working from your heart.  My approach is one-on-one.  Each workshop is tailored to your needs, ensuring that together we meet your learning goals at your personal pace.  Daily photographs will be created and discussed. 

~ Carlan

Location

The five-day workshop is located in Farmington, NM. doorway to Dinétah.  The workshop will be based out of the classic Casa Blanca Inn.  Lesser known unique and remote areas across Dinétah are explored by Jeep.  Workshop begins with a dinner, followed by three field location days, concluding with breakfast on the fifth day.
