Located on Navajo Tribal Land, the Valley of Dreams is an area deep in the New Mexico badlands that is choc full of some of the most unique hoodoos and rock formations you will ever see! This landscape is a truly special place and a sacred site for the Navajo people. We are proud to offer this workshop in partnership with the amazing folks at Navajo Tours USA. They will join us during this workshop and will provide cultural information as well as ensure the safety of the landscape.
Not too far away from Valley of Dreams, the imposing Shiprock formation impressively stands like a sentinel watching over the valley. The remnants of a millions-of-years old volcano, Shiprock has a strange weathered face and jagged appearance that makes it an amazing foreground subject. Like Valley of Dreams, Shiprock is steeped in lore and tradition and a sacred site for the Navajos.
Join us for this exclusive opportunity to photograph these lands and learn more about the art of astro-landscape photography!
