Around the corner or around the world, RMSP Workshops are quite possibly the answer to every one of your photography questions. From "How do I turn this thing on?" to "How do I use the Zone system of exposure with color photography?", we have workshops and instructors that can help you accomplish your goals.

RMSP Workshops are broken into two categories – Foundation and Travel. Foundation Workshops focus on skills and techniques that help you build a solid foundation, gain hands-on experience and advance your technical understanding of photography. Travel workshops are equal parts vacation and education, offered in stunning locales like Italy, and Holland, national parks including Yellowstone, Glacier and Death Valley, or just plain old gorgeous destinations like the Outer Banks of North Carolina or Sedona, Arizona. Whether in the classroom, on location or in the digital lab, RMSP Foundation and Travel Workshops provide you with the quality education you deserve and an experience you will remember.

Please explore our workshop line-up for 2012. If you can’t find what you are looking for or have questions for us, we’re only a phone call or an email away.

Course: Yellowstone In Winter

I’m on a journey of discovery. One that has never really been about the destination, as I am having fun learning and meeting great people.

My adventure with Rocky Mountain School of Photography started a while back when I walked into my local camera store and picked up an RMSP flyer. If only I knew how that single act would affect my life. It was the beginning of a great relationship. I signed up for the Basic Photography workshop, had a ball and learned a ton. I was hooked immediately. A couple of years later the Advanced Photography workshop really pushed me and I loved the challenge. Two more workshops and I found myself registered for Yellowstone in Winter. In the park, you can hear wolves howl, see foxes hunt for mice in the snow and watch bison huddle around hot springs, creating ghostly figures in the mist. The night sky is second to none, with no city lights to dim the Milky Way. Mornings bring fresh animal tracks, which tell the story of the night’s activities. Yellowstone is far from sleepy. There is magic in the air and it’s not just the gold dust that glows in the morning light. The workshop was more than a photography trip; it was an educational trip of a lifetime. It’s not like any other workshop for all the reasons above, not to mention the temperature swings that make it a true adventure.

Over the last couple years I have become more serious and focused on my photography journey. Now, it is time to give up the day job, which has paid for the hobby, and have the hobby become the day job. So, in 2011 I will be one of the lucky students attending the Summer Intensive program at RMSP. I am ready for the new world with just a tinge of nervousness. I have no idea what SI will hold, but if the workshops are any indication, I will not be disappointed. I am completely confident the staff at RMSP will guide, challenge and support me while becoming my photography family.
