Moab photo tours are for private parties and are guided by Lee Bridgers, Dreamride owner. Lee has a terminal degree in film, taught college level for many years, founded and directed film schools and has worked as a professional photographer and videographer.
Departure for daily photo trips is from 3:30AM to 6:30AM for morning sessions and 3:30PM to 4:30PM for evenings, depending on time of year and distance to subjects. Maximum one-way travel distance is 50 miles.
These day tours are not workshops or photography classes. Lee will offer tips and make suggestions when asked, but instruction in the use of your camera is not part of our photography tours. If your small group of photographers desires a workshop in photo or video collection and production led by Lee, please contact him directly through the company email.
Best time for photography in Canyon Country is late September through early December and early spring from late Februrary until mid May. Night shoots are only offered during the new moon. Mimimum charges go up in peak season, but if you contact us a week to 3 days before the date and the schedule is clear, a lower minimum charge is applied.
