Join award-winning nature and wildlife photographer D. Robert Franz for a fully customized, hands-on private photo tour through Yellowstone National Park. With over 30 years of professional experience and more than 10,000 published images — including nearly 200 magazine covers — Robert offers an unparalleled opportunity to learn directly from one of the most accomplished photographers in the field.

These intimate one-day workshops are designed for aspiring and intermediate nature photographers who want to dramatically improve their technical skills, creativity, and field awareness.

This high-energy, one-on-one photography adventure mirrors a day in the life of a professional wildlife photographer. You’ll explore prime Yellowstone locations at the best times for light and wildlife activity — often departing early and staying out late to capture the park’s magic.

During the day, Robert will:

• Share professional techniques and camera settings for wildlife and landscape photography
• Help you master composition, light, and timing in real-world conditions
• Teach you how to anticipate animal behavior and work ethically in the field
• Guide you in developing your creative vision and natural history knowledge

Because the group size is strictly limited to three participants, you’ll receive personalized instruction and feedback throughout the day.

To ensure immediate results and maximize your learning experience, digital cameras are recommended, though not required.

One-on-one instruction is one of the most effective ways to grow as a photographer. You’ll gain direct access to Robert’s decades of professional experience — learning not just how to take great photos, but how to think, see, and react like a wildlife photographer in the field.
