The South Dakota Badlands are without a doubt one of the greatest places to photograph in North America. The light and the landscape cooperate to produce a wealth of photo opportunities for everyone lucky enough to be there to witness it. But the Badlands are also large and it is difficult to be in the right place at just the right time to capture this national park at its best. So we are lucky here in Minnesota to have a professional photographer available to show us around the area.
Rikk Flohr is well known to the photo community here in Minnesota as both a professional photographer and educator. But what many people don't realize is Rikk has been selected by the National Park Service as its artist-in-residence in the badlands three times since 2007. He has through this experience developed tremendous knowledge of the parks scenic areas, vistas and wildlife. And with over 80 days of photographic experience in this area, Rikk has experience in both the summer and winter shooting seasons.
Based upon this extensive knowledge of the park, Rikk is a natural to lead photographic workshops that will capture the beauty of this national wonder. Rikk has just announced two workshops that will allow participant's to capture the park's beauty in both winter and spring. The first will be offered May 14-18 and the second December 3-7 of next year. Each workshop is limited to 8 participants to ensure full access to Rikk's knowledge of the area in general and his professional skills as a photographer in particular. (Hint: the spring workshop maybe limited to 7 as I likely will attend). And best of all these workshops are only $645.00 ($595.00 before February 28th).
Go to Rikk's website to check out these workshops and to register. You can also e-mail Rikk at rikkflohr@fleetingglimpse.com, if you have questions or need further information.
I will post images of Rikk's work in this national park here soon.
