Day Break


A Cowboy, Yellowstone, and Wild Horse photography workshop by Jess Lee that brings you to one of the most photogenic ranch locations in the West. The cowboys and their ranches are authentic and the horses are truly wild. This photography workshop will take you to some of the most scenic country in the west, the beautiful country near the historic town of Cody Wyoming and Yellowstone National Park in the Fall.

Our first stop on this great workshop will be the charming western town of Cody Wyoming named after its founder, Buffalo Bill Cody. Cody is a great location with many sights and scenes to photograph. Cody will be our base for our dawn and dusk excursions into the famous McCullough Peaks Wild Horse Management area and Yellowstone National Park.

Yellowstone in the Fall is the dream of many nature photographers. The Autmn wild life and landscape will be in perfect condition. Steaming geysers, bugling elk and bears and wolf putting on fat for the winter.

The second part of your workshop will be in the Beartooth Mountains along the Wyoming/Montana state line just east of Yellowstone National Park. The fall color in these stunning mountains will be at the peak. Here you will photograph working cowboys riding broncs, roping, working cattle and going about their daily chores with a backdrop of the Beartooth Mountains along the Wyoming/Montana line at several ranches nestled between the lofty peaks of one of the most scenic mountain ranges in North America While we are in the high country where the west still lives, you will be staying at a private guest ranch nested among the timber.

The McCullough horses are one of the most photogenic of all the wild horse band we have found in the west with great color variation and beautiful western backgrounds.

This trip is incomparable to any other.

The morning of the 4th will have us going to either the wild horses or Yellowstone depending on which will bring the best opportunities. The afternoon of the fourth will have us leaving Cody for the high country of the Beartooth Mountains. The scenic drive will take us over Sleeping Indian pass where stopping to enjoy and photograph the vista that lies ahead is a must.

After our arrival and unpacking at the ranch we will have a orientation and instruction session on how to safely catch the fast action of the Cowboy life. Dinner will be family style where our cowboys will join us for a introduction to the next days activities. As the light begins to soften we will have our first cowboy photo shot with the background of the dramatic cliffs and mountains that surround this hidden jewel.
