Description:
Telluride’s autumn foliage in September presents the ideal opportunity to learn from one of the most renowned nature photographers of our generation. Pulitzer prize winner, Jack Dykinga, will lead a workshop that encourages students to take a slow approach to shooting landscapes and nature and to look for photojournalistic opportunities with landscapes. He advises students to open up their senses and learn to truly “taste the land with your eyes.” In his workshop, Light on the Land, Jack will discuss his approach to shooting nature from both a fine art, editorial, and commercial perspective. Jack is unique in that he has been able to shoot at a high level in all three realms. He will explain his methods and show students how to create images with a digital camera that rivals results only once achievable with a large format. This workshop is a fantastic opportunity for landscape photographers to learn from the best in capturing and preserving the landscape through the viewfinder.
Students should bring their portfolios, DSLR camera, tripod, laptop and the corresponding digital software and cables to download for critique.

Pulitzer Prize (1971 Feature Photography) winning photographer Jack Dykinga blends large format landscape art photography with documentary photojournalism. He is a regular contributor to Arizona Highways and National Geographic Magazines. His nine wilderness advocacy, large format books include: Frog Mountain Blues, The Secret Forest, The Sierra Pinacate, The Sonoran Desert, Stone Canyons of the Colorado Plateau, and Desert: The Mojave and Death Valley. He authored and photographed Large Format Nature Photography, a “how to” guide to color landscape photography. Jack Dykinga’s ARIZONA, released in 2004 from Westcliffe Publishers, a compellation of Jack’s best Arizona images and: IMAGES: Jack Dykinga’s Grand Canyon released by Arizona Highways, May 2008, reflect Jack’s love for Arizona.
Dykinga’s fine art images were featured along with the work of Ansel Adams in an Arizona Highways Magazine retrospective shown at the Phoenix Art Museum, The Center for Creative Photography, and the Museum of Northern Arizona.
His stunning archival prints comprised a one-man show at the G2
Gallery in Venice, California, 2008 and were exhibited March 2010 with the work of Elliot Porter at the Etherton Gallery in Tucson, Arizona.
Additionally, he has also collaborated with Mexico’s Agrupacion Sierra Madre to help produce their latest book on the Mexican state of Tamaulipas, printed in both Spanish and English.
His work is driven by his passionate advocacy for preservation of the natural world. Currently, he serves on the board of The Sonoran National Park Project in an effort to create a new Bi-National Park on the Arizona/Sonora, Mexico border.
He has also focused on Texas/Mexican border highlighting the biological diversity of protected areas along the Rio Grande River corridor which appeared in the February 2007, National Geographic Magazine.
His illustration of the wilderness lands of Native American Tribes is featured in the August 2010 National Geographic.
In April, 2007, Jack and four other photographers: Thomas Mangelsen, U.S.A.; Patricio Robles Gil, Mexico; Fulvio Eccardi, Italy & Mexico; and Florien Schultz from Germany, became the first ever R.A.V.E. (Rapid Assessment Visual Expedition) for the International League of Conservation Photographers, to document the El Triunfo Cloud forest in Chiapas, Mexico, drawing attention to the threatened habitat there.
