Photography Workshops and Photography Classes

Since starting this photography workshop program in 2006 my philosophy has been that a workshop should challenge you to improve your skills, and you should get what you want out of the workshop, capture great images, visit stunning locations, and have fun.

Although I often offer workshops at the same destinations every year — I want to share with you my favorite spots — no two workshops are the same. I keep things flexible to put you in the right place at the right time.

All skill levels are welcome. Group sizes range from 8 to 10 people. Check out the photo workshops testimonials to hear from participants.

This is the best learning experience I’ve had in years!

I divide my photo workshops into three categories:

• Minnesota photography workshops have classroom time, outdoor field time, and an image review session during the workshop dates. For 2024 and 2025, I’ve increased some of my 3-day workshops to 4 days. This was based on feedback to incorporate more image processing instruction and image feedback.
• Destination photo workshops are designed for participants that have taken one of my workshops previously or have equivalent experience. For destination workshops, videos of my presentations are available but not required. You can watch them on your own if you wish. The goal of destination workshops is to emphasize experiential learning by spending more time in the field. For destination workshops if there is an image review, the review takes place after the workshop via an online video conference.
• Online photography workshops have multiple online classroom sessions, and depending on the topic, they can have at-home practice time of up to two weeks between sessions. These are designed to help you learn a subject without having to travel to a national park or the Grand Marais area.

I hold the proper permits where required. I’m an authorized permittee of the National Park Service and hold a Special Use Permit from the U.S. Forest Service.

Find my workshop schedule below, and if you have other questions email me at bryan@bryanhansel.com.

Bryan is an expert teacher who knows how to meet you where you are and help you grow from there. I am grateful for his teaching and guidance.

2025 Photography Workshops

I expect to have registration open in late April. I’ll add tentative workshops as I plan them. Some workshops may open for registration before others. I’ll announce in my email when all are opening. I’m going to do an alumni registration this year that reserves a portion of the total seats for alumni. If you have taken one of my classes and are interested in the alumni registration, email me.
