April 8th - 10th, 2011

Join Outdoor Photography Canada Magazine contributing editor, Paul Burwell, for a full-featured photography workshop in stunning red rocks just outside Zion National Park near Hurricane, Utah.

In conjunction with the Triple “D” Game Farm, this workshop will help you create stunning images of the wonderful wildlife transported to Utah set amongst crystal clear stream, majestic red rock cliffs, and the red rock arches, famous for that part of the country.

In 3 days you can amass a tremendous portfolio of animal photographs while learning the tips, tricks and techniques that will help you create truly captivating images.

The workshop dates have been selected to take advantage of the cooler spring conditions.

Wildlife models can include:  bobcats, coyotes, wolves, otters, grizzly bear, black bear, mountain lions, grey fox, cross fox, red fox, badger, raccoon and porcupine.

Consider spending an optional extra day for a Birds of Prey session.  We have contracted with several local rapture centers to acquire a good compliment of birds and professional handlers.  Participants have the option of joining this optional session, the day before the three day wildlife event or the day after.

Notes from the instructor...

Our Utah Triple D workshops are limited to 12 participants.  This group size allows for maximum flexibility in obtaining all types of shots including portraits, behavior, close-ups and special requests where possible.  You’ll also have the flexibility to easily move to different positions to get the shots you are looking for.  You will be able to benefit from my years of experience photographing the Triple D wildlife models.  This will help make sure you go home with the best photos possible.

Paul Burwell was the President of an Internet services company for over 10 years where he developed an extensive history of working with and educating adults.  He is currently a contributing editor for Outdoor Photography Canada magazine and a professional nature photographer.  Some individuals seem to run workshops in order to subsidize their own photography shoots.  But, unlike those workshop leaders, he is exclusively there to help you get the best shots.  You won’t need to worry about interrupting his photography to ask a question or get advice.  This workshop is more than just a series of photo sessions with the wildlife models.  It is a full featured workshop offering a complete educational experience.

Each participant will receive a copy of Paul’s book, Triple D Photography Tips, Tricks and Techniques.  Familiarizing yourself with the book in advance of your trip to the Triple D is an excellent way of preparing for your visit.  The Triple D Photography Tips, Tricks and Techniques book forms the basis for the educational portion of the workshop.

If you are wondering where to stay in Hurricane, we can provide you with recommendations for local accommodation.  Please contact us for more information.

Burwell School of Photography



The Burwell School of Photography was founded in 2007 as a division of Paul Burwell Photography.

Paul Burwell is a world renowned professional photographer, writer, educator and enthusiastic naturalist with over twenty years experience working with and educating adults. Paul woke up some years ago to discover the Internet company he’d built from the ground up was sold and it was time to find something else to do with his life.

Before leaving a 20 year career in the computer world, Paul was the President of an Internet service provider. While working on business plans for a new Internet company, he investigated becoming a professional nature photographer and quickly discovered that it was almost impossible to make a living as one. Naturally, he immediately dropped his plans for Internet dominance, sold his house and most of his earthly possessions and decided to take a vow of poverty as a photographer, and he’s never been happier.

Edmonton JournalNow Paul has built a career in the world of nature photography with a passion for wildlife. He is a contributing editor and regular columnist with Outdoor Photography Canada Magazine and a photography instructor at Metro Continuing College in Edmonton. Paul has been a finalist in the Veolia ‘Wildlife Photographer of the Year’ worldwide competition both in 2009 and 2010 and was named “a top wildlife shooter” by Popular Photography Magazine in 2010. Paul conducts a number of photography workshops each year to rave reviews through his company, the Burwell School of Photography.
