The Dynamic Landscape Photography Workshop
at Lake Powell, Utah, May 27th – June 2nd, 2012
This is an exciting opportunity to photograph one of the most beautiful and awe inspiring locations on the planet, Lake Powell. Spanning from Southern Utah to Northern Arizona, this workshop is a scenery-packed Seven Day expedition into the absolute best that the Southwest has to offer.
We’ll guide you through winding Red Sandstone Canyons filled with Deep Blue Water, one of the best – and rarely accessed – Slot Canyons, elaborate Anasazi Ruins dating back to the 1200′s, Navajo Cliffs that tower 700 feet above the lake, a little known boulder field with literally hundreds of Navajo and Anasazi Petroglyphs, Natural Amphitheaters so large they will take your breath away, and the world’s largest Natural Arch – Rainbow Bridge National Monument. Cactus Blooms, Dinosaur Tracks and Sculpted Waterfalls add to an already amazing photographic journey – plus you’ll experience an AMAZING desert night sky packed with stars! With exclusive access to these one-of-a-kind locations – there are opportunities to make stunning images literally around every corner!
Here are just a few of the things you’ll experience…

“This workshop was an amazing opportunity to learn not only the art of photography but also to see and experience the beauty of Lake Powell. I really had no idea what was in store for me, other than camping under the stars, and lots of photography. This workshop would have been worth the time and expense if that was all there was. But there is so much more. I have seen tons of pictures of this area of our country. They don’t even start to compare to actually being there. Joel really built my self-confidence in my photography skills, and I learned years’ worth of self-taught experience in a weeks’ time. I highly recommend this workshop to anyone at any level of your photographic journey.” ~David Oldeen

“If you want to get away from the hectic day to day grind and experience a tranquil week along the remote back waterways of Lake Powell, then Joel Belmont has a great trip for you. Not only did we all get some great images – but I learned how to take my photography to the next level. Just imagine yourself in a boat full of excited students, moving deeper into the various turns of the waterway with cliffs rising several hundred feet above the water line. Then, after arriving where few people can go, you hike to scenic locations to create a fine art image. The scenery, the peaceful environment and the friendships you will experience are alone worth the trip.” ~Randy Persinger
“Joel did a great job of scouting out the best locations for photography, being aware of local conditions, access and photographic opportunities at each site. He was available to provide help and guidance to those who needed it, and generous with his time, while leaving more experienced photographers free and unencumbered to pursue their own photographic inspiration. The locations covered a wide range of photographic possibilities, from the grandiose to the intimate: sand dunes, slot canyons, panoramic vistas, monolithic sandstone cliffs, lake reflections, night skyscapes and light painting.
The atmosphere on the trip was friendly, relaxed and informal. There was a full and demanding schedule of activities for every day of the trip, morning and evening, but with ample time for relaxation, sport, socializing, introspection, sharing and discussion. The group size was small enough to be intimate, and most of us now consider each other friends for life. I would have no hesitation in going on this trip again or recommending it.” ~Dr. N. Sukumar
