5-Day Palouse Photography Workshop: Capturing Rolling Hills and Timeless Landscapes

Palouse Photography offers an extraordinary opportunity to capture the breathtaking beauty of Eastern Washington’s rolling hills, patchwork fields, and vast open skies. This 5-day Palouse Photography Workshop is designed for photographers of all levels who want to refine their landscape photography skills in one of the most scenic rural regions in the United States. Throughout this immersive experience, you will learn to compose striking images, harness natural light, and master the art of storytelling through photography.

Explore the Iconic Palouse Landscape

Our journey begins in Colfax, Washington, a perfect base for exploring the sweeping farmlands of the Palouse. The adventure starts with a sunrise session at Steptoe Butte, a panoramic viewpoint that provides unparalleled views of the rolling hills. From this elevated vantage point, you’ll capture the soft morning light as it casts long shadows across the textured fields, creating dramatic contrasts and vibrant compositions.

As we venture through the Palouse, we’ll explore winding country roads, stopping at abandoned barns, historic grain silos, and isolated trees that stand proudly against the endless horizon. These elements, rich in history, offer countless opportunities to create compelling visual narratives that highlight the region’s agricultural heritage.

Palouse Falls and Seasonal Colors

A highlight of this Palouse Photography Workshop is a visit to the stunning Palouse Falls, where the powerful cascade plunges into a deep canyon. The surrounding basalt cliffs and rugged terrain contrast beautifully with the gentle rolling hills, providing the perfect setting for experimenting with long exposure photography and capturing the movement of water.

Throughout the workshop, you’ll also photograph the region’s seasonal beauty, including sunflower fields and canola blooms, which create vibrant compositions against the vast blue sky. The natural curves and textures of the land will guide your compositions, helping you create balanced, harmonious images that define the essence of the Palouse.

Photographing Iconic Barns and Rural Scenes

No Palouse Photography experience is complete without capturing the region’s historic barns, some of which have stood for over a century. These weathered wooden structures, nestled among the rolling hills, serve as focal points that add depth and storytelling to your compositions. Whether capturing a wide-angle scene or focusing on intricate textures, these barns provide endless photographic opportunities.

Personalized Instruction and Artistic Growth

Each day, you’ll receive one-on-one guidance and hands-on instruction, helping you refine your approach to capturing light, texture, and depth. Whether you’re shooting expansive landscapes or focusing on smaller details, you’ll develop a deeper understanding of composition, exposure, and artistic expression.

Evenings will be dedicated to critique sessions, where you’ll receive valuable feedback on your images. These discussions will help you refine your photographic style, allowing you to capture the Palouse in ways that are both technically strong and artistically expressive.
