For the last six years we have offered our Women Only Photography Workshops at Aurum Lodge in the heart of David Thompson Country. We have had suggestions from some gentlemen who would like to participate in some of our workshops as well. So this year we are offering our “Developing Your Photographic Style” workshop to both men and women from May 21st to 24th, 2015 at Aurum Lodge.
This year as part of the “Developing Your Photographic Style” workshop we have made arrangements for special access to the Brazeau Collieries Mine site as one of the field shoot locations. Instead of the half-day we had last year, we will have up to a full day at the mine. We do not actually go underground into the mine, which is off limits to everyone, but we will be allowed to photograph in and around the buildings and equipment. The Brazeau Colleries mine at Nordegg has been a Provincial Historic Site since 1993 and was designated a National Historic Site in 2002. Opportunities for some interesting and creative photography abound at this site.
