Private Photography Workshops

Do you have a few locations that you’d love to visit, but you aren’t sure exactly how to arrange your day to see everything in the right light? Have you been looking for the chance to experiment with landscape photography techniques you’ve never tried before? Do you want to spend a day shooting around the Rockies, but with an itinerary suited exactly to your needs, whether it’s shooting time-lapses at noon or the Milky Way late at night?

Regardless of which category you fall into, you’ve come to the right place. Kristin Repsher is a professional photographer licensed by Parks Canada to teach photography in the national parks, and her extensive knowledge of Banff, Yoho, and Kootenay means that she will plan a workshop that suits exactly what you want to see and learn during your time in the Canadian Rockies.

Potential itineraries include:

An afternoon exploring the Icefields Parkway followed by a night sky shoot at Moraine Lake
Sunrise at Two Jack Lake followed by golden hour shooting; lunch break; sunset shoot at Castle Mountain
Getting up when most people would be going to bed to shoot the Milky Way over Bow Lake followed by sunrise at Peyto Lake

Looking for a group workshop? Unfortunately, Kristin has had to put group workshops on hold due to a change in circumstances. A list of her previous group workshops is available on the workshop listings page so you can get a feel for what itineraries a private workshop may encompass.

Workshop Highlights

Location, Location, Location

On a half-day private workshop, choose from locations in the Kananaskis, Banff, Kootenay, and Yoho. Want to start at Emerald Lake and finish the shoot at Marble Canyon? No problem! On a full-day private workshop, we can also cover the Icefields Parkway, which is regularly voted one of the most scenic drives in the world. We tend to agree!

Leave the Research to Her

Prior to the workshop, Kristin will do all the research needed to ensure we’re at each location at the right time. She’ll know the times of sunrise, sunset, and even moonrise and moonset, and she’ll ensure that you’re always at locations with plenty of time to find compositions prior to any of these happening. She’ll even keep up with the latest space weather in case there’s a chance of northern lights spotting (which has happened)!

Personalised Tuition

Participants of any level of travel experience or photography knowledge are welcome. Kristin understands that everybody is different, learns differently and wants different learning outcomes for their photography. She will work with you before the workshop to understand exactly what you want to work on and tailor topics covered on the day to reflect this.
