CUSTOM YELLOWSTONE PHOTOGRAPHY TOURS
The Yellowstone ecosystem is the only place in the lower 48 states that today supports every species of wild animal that occupied the area before the arrival of non-native people. Some features unique to Yellowstone are: 67 different mammals including wolves and grizzly bears, 322 bird species, wildflowers, mountains, canyons, waterfalls, geysers, hot springs, boiling mud, fumaroles, expansive views and wild rivers, which offer the serious photographer a vast backdrop of possibilities.
Yellowstone photo tours and workshops are customized to best meet your individual goals and objectives. Custom photography tours in Yellowstone are intensive. Be prepared to begin before sun-up and end well after sundown. You will eat, breathe, discuss and shoot Yellowstone. Each day will be packed with shooting, instruction, implementing new techniques, learning natural history, observing animal behavior and marveling at the wonders that make up Yellowstone.
Cindy has been mentored and groomed by Tom Murphy and is available for Custom Yellowstone Photography Tours through Tom's Wilderness Photography Expeditions, a permitted photography tour company of Yellowstone National Park. Tours are available year round and are arranged to take advantage of the best light and wildlife opportunities. Tours are customized to your photographic areas of interest and physical conditioning. Options include backcountry snowshoeing or skiing in winter, and hiking or backpacking the other seasons of the year. Cindy likes to work in small groups or one on one with clients to ensure adequate time spent on expanding their creativity and skills while exploring and learning about the wonders of Yellowstone.
We shoot during the day and subsequent evenings are often used for critiques and to further your skills in digital processing and workflow. Digital workflow is all the steps necessary from formatting your card and composing the picture, to optimizing it, cataloging it, being able to find it again, printing it, backing it up, archiving it and everything in between.
Yellowstone has been THE destination for serious photographers since 1871, when W.H. Jackson first visited with the Hayden survey party. This unique, beautiful and wild land was preserved as Yellowstone National Park by congress in 1872. Yellowstone was the first National Park in the world, and certainly is “America’s Best Idea”.
