Utah may be where Chris Dickinson receives mail, but this photographer is as likely to be found wandering the West, shooting for magazines like Cowboys & Indians or the American Quarter Horse Journal. He also works with national advertising campaigns for companies like Kentucky Fried Chicken. While his work keeps him clicking new frames, Chris also shares his knowledge in annual photography retreats, focusing on camaraderie in learning as well as sharing authentic Western adventures. Today, Chris Dickinson visits with us about his workshops and how he’s found that he—and attendees—can figure out how to get the most from a learning opportunity.

She’s been the official photographer at the Art of the Cowgirl and Brannaman Pro-Am Vaquero Roping, and has captured events, like brandings and sales, and her ability to capture the authentic, traditional West is aided by her home base, Bruneau, Idaho, where she lives with her husband and dogs.
