Tucson and Saguaro National Park with Cree and Tom Bol

Come photograph one of the most iconic landscapes of the West, the Sonoran Desert at Saguaro National Park.  Tucson is the perfect location to fully explore and photograph this mountainous desert environment. We’ve designed this workshop to be loaded with special photo opportunities, and timed to catch wildflower blooms in the desert. We’ve spent many years photographing in this area, and a blazing orange sunset framed by a towering saguaro cactus is an image every photographer should capture.

Highlights:

On our  first morning, we will look for desert birds nesting in cactus at the striking San Xavier Mission, south of Tucson.
We will spend one afternoon photographing at the world-renowned Arizona Sonora Desert Museum.  This 98 acre museum is loaded with a huge variety of cactus and endemic desert plants, as well as having walk-in bird aviaries and big mammals.
In the Tortolita Mountains north of town we have arranged a private session for our group at two wildlife blinds to photograph desert birds and animals at ground level.  These blinds have water features and food so bird activity is high.
Our evenings will be spent capturing spectacular sunsets and saguaro cactus at a variety of different locations.
