Outdoor Photo­graphy

Capture the extraordinary in the ephemeral alpine light of the Monashee Mountains. Hone your technical and creative skills through immersive, field-based instruction designed to sharpen your eye and expand your perspective.

Overview

Set against wildflower meadows, glacier fields, and cloud-draped alpine peaks, this immersive photography course blends technical mastery with creative exploration.

Operating in the high alpine near Revelstoke, heli-access places you directly into dynamic terrain where light and shadow shift by the minute, and every vantage point evokes a cinematic quality. The mountains become both subject and teacher.

All instruction is provided by ACMG-certified guides with extensive alpine climbing and teaching experience.

I was thrilled that despite being unable to walk far, I was able to enjoy the spectacular mountain scenery and wildflowers. The extra helicopter time at the end of the Heli Picnic was a great add-on….what a ride!
