SMP x Shoot like a Pro
I’m excited to announce my Third Annual Scott Markewitz Photo Workshop that’s taking place this coming February 9 – 12 at Snowbird Ski and Summer Resort.
Attendees of my Workshop will “learn about all aspects of ski and winter outdoor photography with morning and evening classroom sessions and on-hill practice photographing professional skiers and snowboarders in action.”
I’m really stoked to get at this again, it gets better and better every year. And with all the recent snowfall we’ve been having, this should make for some amazing turns and great accessibility of the mountain. This will be an exciting and rewarding experience for everyone, and will challenge students creatively, technically and physically. Snowbird is the perfect venue for this workshop. I’m really looking forward to showing participants the incredible snow, terrain, scenery and photographic opportunities that the resort has to offer.
Spec’s on the Scott Markewitz Photography Workshop:
– Four days of instruction both on the mountain and in the classroom as well as three nights at the Cliff Lodge
– Lift tickets, early Trams and breakfast.
– Workshop costs $1,250 (double occupancy, plus taxes and fees), and interested parties can register by calling Snowbird Central Reservations at (800) 453-3000.
– For locals who don’t require lodging and/or lift tickets, please feel free to contact me directly at scott@scottmarkewitz.com.
“All participants should have a basic understanding of digital photography and be able to ski or snowboard most areas on the mountain comfortably while carrying their own camera gear. Students are required to bring their own DSLR camera with assorted lenses, a backpack to carry their equipment while riding, a laptop with Photoshop installed (CS2 or higher – also recommended to have other image processing software such as Lightroom, Aperture and/or Photo Mechanic), a memory card reader, at least one external hard drive for storage, and must be ready with the proper ski/snowboard equipment for any conditions.”
Can’t wait to see you all up there!

SMP x Behind the Scenes
A few weeks ago I got to go behind the scenes with outdoor photography legend, Scott Markewitz. Only this time I was able to see Scott in new light, literally. In this section of Behind the Scenes with SMP, Scott decides to show off his lighting skills by braving the indoors — at the Twilite Lounge in Salt Lake City, UT.
One of the greatest challenges of shooting in the outdoors is conquering proper lighting. Scott being extremely strong in this area of expertise, put his knowledge and skills to use indoors where the dark areas are abundant.
This was a fun lifestyle project. Scott was out to capture real people in real life situations. In this given scenario, he wanted to keep true to the authenticity of what you might expect to find in the local night life scene.
If only I looked that cool taking the cue ball deep to the pockets..
As always, it’s humbling to see this guy taking his lens to new limits and new settings. To check out some more of Scott’s work, check out his website by clicking HERE. Also, be sure not to miss out on Scott’s upcoming photography workshop taking place at Snowbird Ski and Summer Resort Feb. 9-12. For more details on this epic event click HERE.

SMP x f-stop
For those of you who haven’t heard of f-stop, f-stop is an international company that makes adventure photography camera packs and bags and defines adventure photography as “any photography that gets the blood moving”. Something we can both agree on. They also believe “your camera bag should assist you in getting the perfect shot – not hold you back.” –again, another point I can agree on.
I’ve had the fine pleasure of working with these guys in the past as a member of their Faction team of pro adventure photographers, and not too long ago f-stop used some of my work as part of one of their Adventure Photo Newsletters, Click HERE to take a look!
