About this trip
STILL PHOTOGRAPHY & DRONE PHOTOGRAPHY
The Utah Badlands & Capitol Reef National Park are home to some of the most raw, rugged and unique landscapes in our country. This is also a location that currently allows drones in certain areas. We will combine still photography and drone photography for different locations throughout the workshop. New to drones? Randy Wilson is a drone photographer and can help you learn your equipment and get the perfect aerial photos! Not interested in drone photography, Jennifer will be there to help you create the most beautiful landscape and abstract photos!
