Canadian Wildlife and Nature Photography Workshops

I teach a very limited number of wildlife and nature photography workshops geared specifically towards beginner and intermediate nature photographers. Unlike my photo tours, where I'm there to get great photos just like you are, I concentrate my attention in my workshops on you. They are designed to give you as much photo instruction as you desire and to make you a better photographer. However, the workshops are also intended to get you into some great situations with a variety of wildlife in the hopes that you'll not only learn a lot, but also come away from them with some phenomenal images.

I am only offering one beginner-intermediate wildlife photography workshop for 2010, with another one in early 2011. Both of these workshops will be in Jasper National Park, with the first from October 12th-17th, 2010, and the second from February 8th-13th, 2011. There are a maximum of 5 spots available on each of these Jasper wildlife and nature photography workshops.

I am also offering an amazing 3-day landscape and nature photography workshop via helicopter from September 7th-10th, 2010 in the Bugaboo Mountains at Bugaboo Lodge in British Columbia with Canadian Mountain Holidays Summer Adventures (see below for more information).

Jasper Photography Workshop

Five days, five nights in the gorgeous Canadian Rockies photographing wildlife and spectacular scenery with professional wildlife and nature photographer John E. Marriott, author / photographer of the Canadian bestseller, Wildlife of the Canadian Rockies: A Glimpse at Life on the Wild Side. Boasting some of the world's largest bighorn sheep rams, an incomparable elk rut, a full range of wild predators, and spectacular mountain backdrops, Jasper is one of Canada's finest wildlife photography locations.

By October most of the park's crowds are gone and as the days get shorter, the wildlife becomes more and more active in anticipation of winter. Workshop participants may get opportunities to photograph elk, bighorn sheep, mountain goats, mule deer, moose, coyotes, red fox, wolves, black bears, bald eagles, and more, in a variety of conditions. The primary focus of this workshop will be on enhancing your skills as a beginner or intermediate wildlife photographer while photographing wildlife throughout the park.

Your workshop leader, John E. Marriott, is a former Parks Canada naturalist, wildlife viewing guide, and hiking guide. He is now considered to be one of Canada's premier wildlife and nature photographers. John has been visiting and photographing in Jasper National Park since 1992 and is an expert on where and when to find the park's wildlife.

I am thrilled to announce that I have teamed up with world famous Canadian Mountain Holidays to provide a heli-hiking nature photography workshop in the gorgeous Bugaboo Mountains of British Columbia. This is my first partnership with the vaunted heli-ski and heli-hiking giant and I am extremely excited about it. This is a fantastic and very unique opportunity at a great price -- where else can you find a nature photography workshop that features 10-12 helicopter flights into some of BC's most stunning and remote wilderness locatons!

This is a nature photography workshop for all levels, focused on making you a better landscape and nature photographer.  I will provide as much or as little instruction as you wish, allowing you to learn at your own pace. We will be combining great CMH hospitality at a beautiful backcountry lodge with unparalleled access to some of the Bugaboo mountains most beautiful photo locations.

Note: I visited the lodge and went for a day of heli-hiking on July 15th, 2010 and I can honestly say that this is one of the most stunning photo locations I have ever been to. It is a phenomenal spot!

This trip requires a moderate level of fitness and will involve low to mid level hiking. Maximum ten participants (plus John).
