Alain Briot Fine Art Photography

Workshop Photographs

We often see the photographs taken during a workshop, but we rarely see workshop participants in the process of creating these photographs. Yet, what happens during a workshop is just as exciting as the photographs we bring back from a workshop.

On this page, I assembled a collection of photographs taken during our workshops. Many of these photographs were taken by workshop participants. A few were taken by Natalie and I.

Our mode of transportation can take many different aspects, as required by the area we are exploring.
On the left, rafting the San Juan River during our San Juan River Rafting Workshop in 2006. On the right travelling in Monument Valley.

It's not all work. We have time set aside for breaks in the field.
Always a great opportunity for questions, exchanges and discussion.

Discussing composition in Monument Valley

Travis Terry is a regular presence at our Navajoland Workshops.
Travis has performed live for us at sunrise and sunset while we photographed.

Fall photography in Zion National Park

The grand landscape offers endless possibilities for photography.
Here Hubert (on the left) and Sherrie (on the right) take advantage of these opportunities in Monument Valley

Interesting discussions often take place in the filed. Here Alain discusses photography with Glenn.

Moderate hiking is part of some of our workshops.

Finding yourself alone in the grand landscape is an experience not to be forgotten.

It's not just about photography. It's also about being there and experiencing the beauty of the landscape

It's also about having a good time and enjoying yourself.

Lectures, presentations and print reviews are part of each workshop. Here Alain teaches composition at Canyon de Chelly.
There is no better visual aid than the landscape itself.

Camaraderie and friendship is an important aspect of the workshops.

The locations we visit are chosen for their photographic qualities. Being there in person is an experience that has no substitute.

It's also about admiring the landscape and taking time to relax and enjoy yourself.
