Robb Hill wants you to expand your notion of landscape photography. To this end, his workshop combines landscape and documentary traditions, and challenges you as a photographer to make a series of photographs with an emotional narrative at its core.

Robb asks you to consider two soul-searching questions: "Who am I in this landscape?” and “Why is it important to me?" We answer these questions by photographing emotively, editing rationally, and developing a method of storytelling Robb calls creative nonfiction.

Through discussion, individual and group critiques, and examining the best work from both photographic traditions, Robb helps you push past the literal to photograph with instinct and an educated eye. He also works with you to develop a post-processing method that supports your personal vision.

Together we explore a great deal of Northern New Mexico’s natural beauty and Albuquerque’s urban spaces. The focus of the workshop is for you to author your personal reaction to a physical space in photographs. After four days, you leave with confidence and skills to photograph the world around you from a narrative and deeply personal point of view.
