Why Monument Valley?

Monument Valley is one of the most photographed landscapes in history, yet very few creatives ever experience it beyond roadside viewpoints.

From sunrise and sunset light to vast desert night skies, Monument Valley offers unmatched opportunities for landscape photography, filmmaking, and storytelling.

• Masterful Photography Techniques: From landscape and portrait photography to time-lapse and lifestyle, unlock the secrets to capturing unforgettable images.

• Dynamic Videography Skills: Learn how to tell powerful stories with your camera through expert techniques in composition, lighting, and editing.

• Editing Mastery: Bring your shots to life with post-production tips and tricks from our 3 instructors.

• Storytelling in the Wild: Craft compelling narratives that blend visuals and emotion, inspired by the rugged beauty around you.

Who’s It For?
