GRAND TETON & YELLOWSTONE

TRIP HIGHLIGHTS
Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks sit atop of one of the most active geological regions in the world. Every-where you look, every trail you take, re-minds you of the forces responsible for shaping our planet; forces that are very much at work today. This altered uni-verse is full of life and wonders; energies capable of destroying, create a paradise
like no other.
This photo-trip is designed to maximize your shooting time, placing you at the right places at the right time to see, pho-tograph and experience what basically no one does. We start our days well be-fore dawn when parks are empty and all the magic happens. The weather is un-predictable and that is what guarantees great pictures. Fog, rain, snow, sun or clouds will be the perfect props for your
imagery.
Yellowstone and the Grand Teton grow on you. Watching the sunrise light the glacier lakes with the sky-high moun-tains as the background is a heavenly experience. This is also the time of the great deer and bison migrations, so wildlife encounters are guaranteed. In Yellowstone, we photograph every sin-gle corner of the park; again, focusing on those sites that are unique for image making. We will light paint geysers with a star studded sky as backdrop, we will photograph forests of dead trees cov-ered in the pre-sunrise fog and join bi-son and deer as they wake up to the roar
of steam vents and erupting geysers.
I have studied every corner of this eco-system and can promise you the best photography experience ever. In this corner of our planet, every minute is dif-
ferent, grandiose and spectacular.
