Summer Workshop in Santa Fe

I’m thrilled to be returning to Santa Fe from June 23-27, 2025, for another in-person workshop with Santa Fe Workshops. An Intimate Portrait of Place: Northern New Mexico will take a deep dive into the unique cultural history that makes Santa Fe and Northern New Mexico such a special place.

Perhaps nowhere in the U.S. is the history of a place more evident than in Santa Fe—the nation’s oldest capital city, where ancient roads cross and the oldest church in America still holds services. Northern New Mexico is a region where human occupation stretches back thousands of years and where the convergence of Native American, Hispanic and Anglo cultures has resulted in a rich local heritage, a unique architectural style, flavorful cuisines, traditional crafts and so much more.

During this 5-day workshop, we step beck in time to explore some of the region’s roots. Our days involve the exploration of various landscape, architecture (including interiors), and historic sites that define the uniqueness of this place—ranging from ancient ruins and geological landscapes to Santa Fe’s Plaza nd neighborhoods, encompassing locations such as pueblos, ranches, trails and churches. Landscape photography inherently demands extended outdoor hours, so plan for full days. Typically, our routine involves early starts for photography sessions, followed by late-afternoon classroom sessions for lessons, image processing and sharing.

In this course, we go beyond capturing images to delve deeper into storytelling and portraying a sense of place. Employed a structured approach to landscape exploration, we aim to develop cohesive bodies of work suitable for publication, exhibition and social media.
