Nature photographer John Fielder is teaming up with Domus Pacis Family Respite to offer a full-day photography workshop at his home. The workshop is Sunday, Sept. 20, and includes personal instruction by the photographer and dinner prepared by Doug Schwartz, chef at Colorado Mountain College Culinary School. The cost is $300, with all proceeds benefitting the local nonprofit.

Fielder has been a photographer for more than 40 years, specializing in nature photography in Colorado. He is the author of 39 exhibit format and guide books, his most recent publication, “Colorado’s Yampa River: Free Flowing and Wild From the Flat Tops to the Green,” with Patrick Tierney, came out in July.

“(The workshop is) a compressed version of what I typically do in my one-, two- and three-day workshops on my own account,” Fielder said. “People come up to my house at Acorn Creek, north of Silverthorne. I do a lecture, which is basically a slideshow about the art of photography, talking about things like color, form, moment. I talk about composition and light — it all fits together in a neat package of how do you make more than just snapshots.” Click for full article
