SUMMARY:Grand Teton National Park
DESCRIPTION:Nothing says Wyoming like the Grand Teton National Park\, located just outside Jackson Hole. At this time of year\, the Christmas decorations are up but the crowds haven’t arrived yet and it’s a perfect time for a photo workshop – Winter in the Tetons!  Join myself and Jack Graham as we lead you on this amazing experience in a landscape that is truly “picture perfect”.   \nExperience Grand Teton National Park on this amazing winter photo workshop! We will spend 3 ½ days exploring Grand Teton National Park in winter. The snow-capped mountains of the Teton range will be visible from the famous Snake River locations we’ll photograph from.  Plus\, much like Yellowstone\, wildlife is common – we often see moose\, elk\, trumpeter swans\, bison and coyotes. And in the winter\, the wildlife is down from the high country and much more active as they forage for food. We will photograph the snow capped mountains of the Tetons range\, rustic cabins\, meandering creeks and rivers\, plus many other fantastic sights.    Join us for this stunning winter adventure!  \nWe will base our workshop out of Jackson Wyoming which is just a short distance from the park.  We will spend our days photographing the landscapes and winter scenes and hunting for the ideal wildlife images.  Plus\, we will spend time doing image reviews and learning throughout the workshop.  The days are short here this time of year and we will make the most of each day\, maximizing our photographic time with the available light and conditions.  \nPlease note that although the workshop starts at sunrise on December 5th\, we will meet in Jackson Hole\, WY on the evening of December 4th for an hour or so to go over itineraries\, travel\, and workshop goals.  \nPreparation and being in the right mindset can help you achieve better results. Before the workshop begins\, we will send you several updates so you can better prepare for the conditions and environment.  Please read this helpful article on how to prepare for one of our photo workshops. \n*John Pedersen Photography is an Authorized Permittee of Grand Teton National Park * \n  \n  \nadd to cart / register today\n  \n  \n\n  \n2022 Workshop Highlights \n\n  \nFitness Level: Easy \nNo strenuous hikes.

SUMMARY:Eastern Sierras Fall Color Photo Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Please consider joining me on the Eastern Sierras Fall Color Photo Workshop to experience the majesty of the fall color and the astonishing landscape of the area. Having led workshops in this area for many years\, I know where to go and when to be there!  We’ll visit some of the well-known\, iconic places\, as well as many places off the beaten path. \nIf I had one place to photograph it would be here. We’ll see Mono Lake\, the White Mountains\, and the town of Bodie\, once a booming mining town that went bust. Today it’s a genuine ghost town that’s in very good shape and offers endless photographic possibilities.  We’ll see the oldest living species on the planet—the Ancient Bristlecone Pines\, beautiful mountain streams and aspen groves\, sure to be in full grandeur when we arrive. This time of the year is the prime time for fall color. \nWe will start our Eastern Sierras fall color photo workshop in Bishop CA and gradually work our way North to Lee Vining.  Along the way we’ll photograph mountain vistas\, birch and aspen trees\, flowing streams\, placid lakes and above all else\, lots of amazing Fall color! Once in Lee Vining we will photograph the famous Mono Lake at different times of day to capture the mood and essence of this other-worldly location.  Plus\, we will visit the historic Bodie Ghost Town and several other prime Fall Color locations.  Our Eastern Sierra Fall Color Photo Workshop is built upon over 26 years of leading workshops in this area so we know where to go and when to get there for the best photo opportunities.  I will be providing in-field instruction as well as classroom instruction in the art of composition\, storytelling\, plus some image reviews to provide in-the-moment feedback. \nPreparation and being in the right mindset can help you achieve better results. Before the workshop begins\, we will send you several updates so you can better prepare for the conditions and environment.  Also\, please read this helpful article on how to prepare for one of our photo workshops. \nHere is a short video slideshow of images from this area.  So much variety and photographic possibility! \n\n  \nadd to cart / register today\n  \n\n\n  \nFitness Level: Easy \nNo strenuous hikes.

SUMMARY:Fjords of Silence - Greenland
DESCRIPTION:Join me and my European partner on an amazing photo expedition in our Fjords of Silence – Greenland to East Greenland aboard a schooner sailing vessel.  East Greenland is one of the most isolated areas in Greenland and offers fantastic possibilities for photography.  This is the workshop for the serious landscape and wildlife photo enthusiast who’s wiling to go back in time and explore the Arctic and travel off the beaten track to get amazing imagery.  We will fly to Eastern Greenland from Reykjavik Iceland and board a schooner to sail amongst the icebergs in the largest fjord system in the world. There are limited spots available and the workshop is almost filled\, so if you are interested\, please reach out to me as soon as possible. \n  \nEmail Me\n  \nScoersbysund fjord is remote and the largest such system on the planet with deep channels and steep mountains bordering the waterway.  This remote area has some of the most dramatic scenery in Greenland and the only way to explore it is on a boat. And\, what better boat to have than a sailing schooner designed for arctic exploration.  Quiet and efficient\, it will transport us among the leviathan icebergs and allow us access to the shoreline all in search of epic photographs and amazing experiences. \nWhat To Expect\nOn this workshop\, you’ll have the options of photographing icebergs the size of skyscrapers\, steep mountains which fall in to the sea\, deep fjords\, floating icebergs\, glaciers\, wildlife such as muskoxen\, arctic fox\, arctic hare and if we are lucky polar bears.  Plus\, there is a chance of capturing the Northern Lights.  We have chartered a wooden schooner for the trip and we will sail the calm fjords for 8 days/7 nights.  The boat will be our base camp during the workshop where we will enjoy our meals\, sleep and travel to different regions of the fjords.  The boat sails slowly and is especially quiet\, which enhances the experience of the silent fjords.  It has comfortable double cabins (shared showers) and has a crew of 4 which will assist us in making the adventure as pleasurable as possible. \nEach day will find us in a different part of the fjord system and we will go ashore to photograph and stretch our legs.  Also\, if the sky is clear\, we will go on land after dark to photograph the dancing Northern Lights.  The steep mountains in the area and deep fjords makes these waters very sheltered and still.  The complete quietness is something we never experience in our busy modern world.  Here\, we are completely immersed in the natural world around us! \n \n  \nItinerary\nBelow is the proposed itinerary.  Of course like all things\, we need to remain adaptable and flexible depending on weather and water conditions \nDay 1 Arrive in Iceland \nArrival in Iceland and transportation to our hotel in Reykjavik.  Attend group dinner at a local restaurant in Reykjavik and plan for the upcoming adventure. \nIf you want to arrive early\, or stay later\, please let us know so that we could arrange additional hotel nights for you \nDay 2 Flight to Constable Point Greenland \nDepart Iceland for a flight to Constable Point in Greenland\, a small airfield on the west side of Hurry Inlet in Jameson Land.  Embark the schooner and get an introduction and safety briefing by the crew.  Begin our sail towards the village of Ittoqqortoormilt where the evening is spent with locals in perhaps the most isolated village in the world \nIttoqqortoormit was founded in the 1920’s by people from Ammassalik island. It is the most northerly settlement on the east coast of Greenland. The 450 inhabitants make their living mostly by subsistence hunting of seals\, Narwhal\, muskoxen and polar bear. The quaint little houses dot the rocky slopes of south Liverpool Land with magnificent views of Cap Brewster and the Volquart Boons Coast to the south. \nDay 3 Sailing Scoresbysound \nWe sail out early morning and head across the Scoresbysound fjord system to the towering basalt peaks on the south coast of the fjord.  We sail between whole palaces of icebergs that gently drift under the influence of the currents in the arctic waters after calving from the parent glaciers originating in the inland ice.  We will likely anchor in the late evening at Hakla Haven\, on Denmark O\, the site of an old Inuit settlement and wintering camp of the first scientific expedition to Scoresbysound over a hundred years ago. \nDay 4 Fohnfjord and Iceberg City \nWe sail west through the narrow Fohnfjord with the majestic basalt mountains of Grassland on the port side and 2000 meter high sheer granite cliffs of Milne Land on the starboard side.  At the end of the fjord we will anchor at Red Island and even make landfall here. In the afternoon and evening we will take a zodiac to the magnificent iceberg city where hundreds of huge icebergs are stranded on the ground underwater. \nDay 5 Rodefjord and Harefjord \nOur journey continues to the north through Rodefjord which is often filled with both larger icebergs and ice crust from ‘bergs that are breaking up.  This is the calmest and most vegetated part of the fjord which may be starting the Fall color transition. Sailing the calm fjord we will see muskoxen roaming the hillsides. Somewhere along the fjord we will take a short hike to photograph the vivid colored vegetation and try our luck with the wildlife. We will arrive in Hereford in the late afternoon where anchors are set. Here we will have a very good chance of photographing the northern lights if the sky is clear. \nDay 6 Harefjord \nDepending on weather and ice conditions we will stay another night in the Hereford scouting for muskoxen\, snow hares\, grouse\, geese and other wildlife which normally graze on the south facing slopes. We may take a longer hike on land this day and enjoy a lunch ashore as we take in the breathtaking views over Herefjord where the glacier tongue descends in to the sea. For those who prefer less exercise\, you can stroll along the shoreline or stay on board enjoying the view. In the evening the crew will make a bonfire and prepare a BBQ dinner on the beach. \nDay 7 Ofjord and Bear Island \nThe sailing continues eastwards through the awesome Ofjord. This is one of the most spectacular parts of the trip! Terrific mountain peaks and granite walls tower 2000 meters up from the sea\, as if the Patagonia mountains of Fitzroy and Cerro Torre had been moved to the Arctic. Usually the sea breeze in the Ofjord during the middle of the day allows sails to be set.  You are more than welcome to assist with the rigging!  This day ends by setting anchor at Bear Islands in the afternoon. \nDay 8 Bear Island to Constable Point \nSailing the channel between Bear Island and Milne Land with a breathtaking view of the spectacular archipelago. As we sail in to the last evening and night of the trip it is likely that we’ll be experiencing the sights of the largest and the most fascinating icebergs of the journey. This provides a fantastic opportunity for photographs of the majestic and impressive icebergs that are found in this area.  When we wake up the next morning we are anchored at the airstrip in Constable Point. \nDay 9 Greenland to Iceland \nThe last morning we will enjoy a good breakfast together\, write in the diary on board the schooner and share contact information with each other.  We will disembark the schooner for the last time and board the aircraft in Constable Point and fly back to the Keflavik airport in Iceland where the workshop will conclude. \n  \n  \n \nFitness Level: Easy/Moderate\nWill take short hikes on land over uneven terrain\, up and down gradual hills to get to an overlook of the fjords. On one day we will go for a longer hike\, out for most of the day\, to search for wildlife and landscape photos.  This is optional as there are plenty of other things to do near the shore or on the boat. \nThe Boat\nWe will live aboard a sailing schooner during the workshop that is built and well equipped for the arctic environment.  All meals\, sleeping and showers are handled aboard the boat. Below is the deck plan for the boat \n \nIf you want to see pictures\, HERE is a gallery of the inside of the vessel \n  \nCost\nThe cost of the workshop is €9650.  The USD equivalent will be determined by exchange rates at the time of payment.  Payments can be made via wire transfer or credit card.   See below for the short list of what is and what is not included in the workshop price. \n  \n \n\n\n\n\nWhat’s Included\nWhat’s Not Included\n\n\n\n\n• Schooner Expedition\n• Travel to/from Iceland\n\n\n• Flights from Iceland to Greenland and back\n• Lodging before or after workshop\n\n\n• Meals on board schooner\n• Alcohol/snacks/souvenirs\n\n\n• Dinner the first night in Reykjavik Iceland\n• Tips\n\n\n• Two professional photo guides\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\nCancellation Policy\nBecause this is an international workshop which requires us to commit resources well in advance\, the cancellation policy is a bit different than normal.   If you cancel your trip and the workshop is otherwise filled\, we will refund you the full amount you have paid towards the tuition\, minus a $150 service charge. If you cancel and the workshop does not fill\, then you will be refunded according to the following schedule\, based on the full fee of the workshop: \n\nGreater than 121 days from the start date of the workshop – full refund amount paid\, minus $150\n120-91 days: 75% refund\n90-61 days: 50% refund\nLess than 60 days: no refund\n\nRefunds will be paid by the same method that the original payment was made and will be initiated within 72 hours of the time that the request is approved. \nIf you are interested in receiving more information or have questions about this\, please reach out to me soon\, via the email button below. \nEmail Me

SUMMARY:Palouse Photo Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Please consider joining me for my Palouse photo workshop in Eastern Washington.  I have many years leading workshops in this area and know the best spots to get both the iconic and hidden gems in this area. The rolling hills of wheat\, barley\, lentils and canola with the addition of spring wildflowers and country roads punctuated with over 100-year-old year old barns lends itself to a photographer’s paradise. The subject matter is endless. The Palouse area is located in Southeastern Washington where the major towns are Pullman\, Washington and Moscow\, Idaho. We will base our Palouse photo workshop out of the small town of Colfax\, which is central to everything we want to photograph. The Palouse is fairly remote. It’s not a tourist destination but during the spring and summer there are usually many photographers. \n  \nThe Palouse can challenge all photographers to create compelling compositions amidst the rolling hills and country settings.  Various shades of greens offset the blue skies with trees dotting the landscapes.  It offers such a wide range of photographic subjects and compositional possibilities! Everything from wide angle landscapes\, to intimate nature scenes\, abstracts and Americana.  We will guide you to the best locations in the area and provide as much in-field guidance as you want or need.  We will visit some popular locations as well as “hidden” locations that we know from our years of leading workshops in this area. \n  \nPreparation and being in the right mindset can help you achieve better results. Before the workshop begins\, we will send you several updates so you can better prepare for the conditions and environment.  Also\, please read this helpful article on how to prepare for one of our photo workshops. \n  \n  \nadd to cart / register today\n  \n\n  \nFitness Level: Easy \nAll locations close to the cars and we will be on maintained level ground.  Facilities will typically be very close by. \nLogistics \nYou can fly in directly to Spokane or Seattle Washington.

SUMMARY:Olympic Natl Park Photo Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Photograph the Pacific Northwest Olympic Natl Park Photo Workshop \nOlympic National Park is on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula in the Pacific Northwest. The park sprawls across several different ecosystems\, from the dramatic peaks of the Olympic Mountains to old-growth forests down to the amazing beaches of the Pacific shoreline.  We’ll visit locations such as the Hoh Rainforest\, Hurricane Ridge\, The Sol Duc Valley\, Ruby Beach\, and many more during our workshop. Having visited and conducted many workshops in the park over the past 20 years\, we know some secret locations! The diversity of the ecosystems in such proximity makes this one of the most desirable areas on earth to photograph.  \n Join me as I lead you through one of the most beautiful areas in the US. I have many years of experience photographing this park and know the ins and outs of each location to ensure that you have a wonderful experience and the best chance of capturing amazing images\, being at the right place at the right time.   \nRain and storms on the northern Washington coastline are common this time of year. Yes\, we shoot in the rain\, but if you want drama\, this is for you! This is a great time to be here since the chance of rain often makes for great sunsets and light. Typically\, the best photography here is made in the soft light of an overcast or rainy day as we move about the park. The advantage of making images in the rain is that when most objects are wet they glisten and the water bends the reflected light coming off an object’s surface. The water reflects the light in various directions which intensifies and enhances the already special effect of the deep green lush rainforests that we’ll be experiencing.  \nWe’ll meet in Forks\, Washington on the evening of April 17th at 6pm in the hotel lobby to get to know each other\, go over itineraries and discuss our objectives for the workshop.  \nPreparation and being in the right mindset can help you achieve better results. Before the workshop begins\, we will send you several updates so you can better prepare for the conditions and environment.  Please read this helpful article on how to prepare for one of our photo workshops. \n*John Pedersen Photography is licensed and permitted to operate in Olympic National Park \n  \n\n  \n  \nadd to cart / register today\n  \n\n  \nFitness Level: Easy \nWe will walk on maintained trails as well as un-even terrain in the forest and to access the beach locations. Slight elevation gains. We are never far away from our cars if you need to take a break. \nLogistics \nYou can fly in directly to Seattle Washington and travel to the Park. We will be based in Forks Washington\, which puts us in a prime location for many of the locations we will visit.   We will travel each day from the hotel to our locations and return at various times for rest and/or image reviews.  More information will be sent to you after registration. \n \n\n\n\n\nWhat’s Included\nWhat’s Not Included\n\n\n\n\n• Expert guiding\n• Travel to/from workshop location and during workshop\n\n\n• In-field photographic instruction\n• Lodging\n\n\n• Classroom instruction\n• Meals\n\n\n• Post workshop syllabus and support\n\n\n\n• New friends and a great time!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n
