While the summer brings crowds to Door County, the winter leaves the entire peninsula to those who would dare to explore. On this Wisconsin photography workshop, we’ll explore the peninsula from the northern tip to Algoma in the south. There’s a magic to Door County in winter and we’ll work our best to capture that with photos of the cherry trees, boats out for the winter, the frozen Green Bay and the icy Lake Michigan.
Dates: Not currently scheduled. You can see the list of current photo workshops here.

Kick your winter into gear with this Wisconsin Photography Workshop based in the legendary Door County of Wisconsin.
