Rikk Flohr Badland Workshop


Badlands Photography Workshops

with Rikk Flohr

Shooting the Foggy SunriseRikk Flohr served as Artist in Residence for the National Park Service at Badlands National Park in central South Dakota on three separate occasions since 2007. With over 100 days of experience in the park locating scenic vistas, finding unusual formations and discovering the area's unique wildlife, Rikk can greatly enhance your photographic experience.  Rikk's Badlands workshops begin on Saturday evenings with an optional sunset shoot and continue until the following Wednesday sunrise shoot and farewell breakfast, or the light gets tough.  Over the course of four days, you will experience the grandeur of the landscape from inside the park with the cooperation of the National Park Service.  There will be classroom time devoted to the mechanics of photographing the park as well as image review sessions and, of course, there will be hands-on field instruction by Rikk Flohr and Associate Instructor, Laurie Hernandez.   We keep our workshop size limited to 8 participants to ensure quality time with our instructors.

Spring Workshop: May 18-22,  2013

Moonset in the BadlandsSaturday night we start with an optional sunset at a pre-determined location in the park.  The workshop goes until Wednesday morning when we finish with a final sunrise and free shooting till the light gets tough.  The three full-days in the middle will be spent finding the very early sunrises and very late sunsets as we travel the park setting up our tripods at the best formations. Of course there will be wildlife along the way as we photograph the Black-tailed Prairie Dogs, Bighorn Sheep, American Bison, Mule and White-tailed Deer,  There is always a chance at more exotic subjects such as the North American Porcupine, the American Badger, the Coyote, the Bobcat and the numerous other birds and beasts which populate the wilderness. This workshop has early mornings, late nights and warm weather.  Don't worry, we take a little downtime in the middle of the day to compensate.
