Silver Creek Photography Workshop

Dates: September 12 - 16, 2024

Hosted By: Arian Stevens and Nick Price

Workshop Price: $3,600

Workshop Details:

Nick Price will be co-teaching this photography workshop with Bend, OR photographer Arian Stevens. The class will take place on Silver Creek, near Picabo, Idaho where you will have 3 full days to cover a variety of aspects from natural light portraiture, macro, landscape, travel, to on location with a fly fishing guide and other models. Fly fishing photography is the emphasis. We will utilize our two streamside cabins—located on Silver Creek—for lectures, one on one critiques, a jumping off point and not to mention the delicious meals we will be having each evening at this incredible location.

What’s Covered:

Beginning with how to conceptualize shots you want to get, Arian and Nick will walk everyone through fundamentals — iso, exposure compensation, depth of field, aperture, shutter speed, etc. There will be lecture time and time spent in the field with models, hatches, and early fall scenery on one of the most beautiful spring creeks in the West. With fundamentals as a baseline, we’ll work on visualizing the shots you want to take before you press the shutter release.

“We learn by our failures and the only way to fail is to try.” —Peter Souza

Location:

Located in south central Idaho, Silver Creek is a low gradient spring creek rich in insect life known as the graduate school of fly fishing. It’s in a high desert prairie setting with Sun Valley and a more alpine topography 45 minutes to the north. This is a perfect location to work on fly fishing photography along with landscapes, portraits, macro imagery, and more.

What’s Needed:

A willingness to learn!

“Curiousity will get you through hard times when nothing else will.” —Jim Harrison

Everyone who attends should have a digital camera that allows for manual control. Do not feel as though you need to own or bring a myriad of lenses. In fact this might be a great opportunity to learn about other focal lengths and max apertures to decide whether or not you need that new lens. Nick spent 3 years of shooting with only a 35 mm ƒ2 lens. Ideally everyone will have a laptop with photo editing software enabling downloading imagery taken during the workshop. While this is not an Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop workshop, Nick and Arian will discuss their respective workflows using these two platforms.

What’s Included:

4 nights of lodging and all meals are included. Check-in is late afternoon / early evening on Sept 12. Check-out is late morning of Sept 16. The two cabins we will be using are located on Silver Creek. Max size for this class is 7 and the minimum number of participants needed is 4.
