April 8th – 10th, 2011

Join Outdoor Photography Canada Magazine contributing editor, Paul Burwell, for a full-featured photography workshop in stunning red rocks just outside Zion National Park near Hurricane, Utah.

In conjunction with the Triple “D” Game Farm, this workshop will help you create stunning images of the wonderful wildlife transported to Utah set amongst crystal clear stream, majestic red rock cliffs, and the red rock arches, famous for that part of the country.

In 3 days you can amass a tremendous portfolio of animal photographs while learning the tips, tricks and techniques that will help you create truly captivating images.

The workshop dates have been selected to take advantage of the cooler spring conditions.

Wildlife models can include:  bobcats, coyotes, wolves, otters, grizzly bear, black bear, mountain lions, grey fox, cross fox, red fox, badger, raccoon and porcupine.

Consider spending an optional extra day for a Birds of Prey session.  We have contracted with several local rapture centers to acquire a good compliment of birds and professional handlers.  Participants have the option of joining this optional session, the day before the three day wildlife event or the day after.

The wildlife workshop includes:

• The opportunity to photograph extremely healthy and happy wildlife surrogates in natural surroundings on private land near Hurricane, Utah.
  • A minimum of 8 sessions photographing the animals over 3 days
  • The benefit of Paul’s many years of experience photographing Triple “D” wildlife models
  • You will be safely closer to animals like Cougars, Wolves and Bears than you ever imagined possible
• A copy of Paul’s book, Triple D Photography Tips, Tricks and Techniques
• Small group size to a maximum of 12 participants allows for maximum flexibility
• A CD to take home containing an electronic version of the workshop material
• Paul’s undivided attention during the photo sessions to help you get the most out of your investment
  • Paul has an extensive history of working with and educating adults from his prior experience as the President of an Internet firm
• A Wildlife Photography Academy t-shirt or ball cap.
• The option to submit up to 10 photographs from this workshop for a detailed written critique of each submitted photograph

Notes from the instructor…

Our Utah Triple D workshops are limited to 12 participants.  This group size allows for maximum flexibility in obtaining all types of shots including portraits, behavior, close-ups and special requests where possible.  You’ll also have the flexibility to easily move to different positions to get the shots you are looking for.  You will be able to benefit from my years of experience photographing the Triple D wildlife models.  This will help make sure you go home with the best photos possible.

Paul Burwell was the President of an Internet services company for over 10 years where he developed an extensive history of working with and educating adults.  He is currently a contributing editor for Outdoor Photography Canada magazine and a professional nature photographer.  Some individuals seem to run workshops in order to subsidize their own photography shoots.  But, unlike those workshop leaders, he is exclusively there to help you get the best shots.  You won’t need to worry about interrupting his photography to ask a question or get advice.  This workshop is more than just a series of photo sessions with the wildlife models.  It is a full featured workshop offering a complete educational experience.

Each participant will receive a copy of Paul’s book, Triple D Photography Tips, Tricks and Techniques.  Familiarizing yourself with the book in advance of your trip to the Triple D is an excellent way of preparing for your visit.  The Triple D Photography Tips, Tricks and Techniques book forms the basis for the educational portion of the workshop.

If you are wondering where to stay in Hurricane, we can provide you with recommendations for local accommodation.  Please contact us for more information.
