White Sands National Monument features a magnificent landscape with limitless photographic potential. Expect expansive summer cloud formations, amazing varieties of light, & sky colors tinting the sinuous curves of White Sands’ legendary gypsum sand dunes.

For four days, we’ll have specially permitted early and late access to shoot stunning summer sunrises and sunsets at some of the most beautiful sand dunes in the world. Epic vistas and intimate close-ups; a wide variety of dune shapes & textures; fascinating juxtapositions of sky, sand & plants: we’ll shoot different locations within the Monument each day.

Plus we have the added opportunity on these dates to shoot the White Sands Invitational Balloon Festival!! The vibrant colors of hot air balloons set against pristine white sand dunes with thousands of people viewing makes for a variety of incredible photo opportunites!!

We’ll shoot during the cooler hours of sunrise and mid-morning and return for mid-afternoon and sunset. In the field, we’ll concentrate on near/far focusing techniques, proper exposure, color, shapes & compositions. During the hottest hours of the day, we’ll spend time at the hotel learning about landscape shooting techniques and critiquing participant’s images.
