Home / Penda Tours / Yellowstone Photography Workshop

Welcome to a winter wonderland.

We invite you to experience the magic of Yellowstone National Park in winter. You’ll photograph the park’s many inhabitants – like bison, wolves, foxes, elk, and eagles – offset against snow-covered landscapes that are effortlessly stunning. We’ll venture into the interior of the park, which is only accessible with a snow coach this time of year, and let ourselves be awed by what we encounter. Throughout the trip, you’ll receive photographic tutoring by acclaimed wildlife photographer Alan Hewitt, who will help you grow as a photographer, at your own level. 

This photo tour is a chance to experience Yellowstone with its quietly beautiful winter coat, photograph a great variety of wildlife, and hone your skills. So grab your gear and your wooly hat, and join us on this photography adventure.

WHAT TO EXPECT IN YELLOWSTONE

Your Photographic Experience

As the oldest national park in the world, Yellowstone is a triumph of conservation. A haven for diversity teamed with extraordinary wildlife and an incredible assortment of landscapes, this North American wilderness is simply iconic. The park takes on a new light in the cold season, and our Yellowstone Photo Tour is the perfect opportunity to explore this winter wonderland; its expansive landscapes offer a wealth of spectacular opportunities for both wildlife and landscape photography enthusiasts. In the serenity of this snowy retreat, we will be journeying to photograph the park’s iconic species; from great bison herds traversing vast snow-covered plains to cunning foxes plunging into the white blankets in search of prey; from wolves whose howls echo through the valleys to stealthy bobcats prowling along riverbanks. While it’s obviously hard to predict what we’ll see, you should get your lenses ready for elks, river otters, bighorn sheep, moose, eagles, snowshoe hares, and coyotes. Yellowstone National Park simply abounds with diverse wildlife. Amidst the frozen landscapes, we will also take in Yellowstone’s geothermal wonders, including hot springs, geysers, and fumaroles. What makes Yellowstone truly special is this remarkable diversity in landscape and wildlife viewing opportunities; each day presents new and exciting encounters, and our photo tour itinerary remains flexible, allowing us to adapt to the ever-changing allures of the national park. During this Yellowstone Photography Workshop, you will be accompanied by acclaimed wildlife photographer Alan Hewitt. Alan will provide expert photographic instruction and personalized guidance to help you sharpen your skills and capture stunning images. Whether we are exploring the wilderness or taking a break, Alan will focus on refining your camera settings, sharing photography techniques, and offering constructive feedback to enhance your skills to ensure you return home with a stunning portfolio. Note that a good mobility level is required for this trip - and an ability to deal with cold (very cold!) temperatures.
