WORKSHOP LEADERS

        The success of your nature photography workshop is largely dependant upon the expertise and teaching abilities of the workshop leaders. Dramatic Light believes that only extensive on location experience can provide the knowledge and background needed to optimize the photographic opportunities on each workshop.
        Many companies pad the resumes of their leaders. Dramatic Light does not. Our instructors have earned their credentials through many long years of International Competition, fifteen years of leading Workshops, and successful marketing of their photography.

Joseph K. Lange, APSA
       Joe holds a Geological Engineering degree from the Colorado School of Mines. He has been active in the Photographic Society of America (PSA) for 30 years in Colorado and Texas. In 1983, the Society awarded him an Associateship (APSA) for his superior record as a photographer, judge, programmer and lecturer.
       His competition record in the Nature Division of PSA has been exceptional. Six times he has won PSA's highest competitive award, the "Kinsley Trophy", presented annually by the Eastman Kodak Company, to the most "skilled and versatile nature photographer in the world". In 1984, 1986, and 1988, he was ranked the top Nature Print maker in the world in International Competitions sanctioned by the Photographic Society of America. He has over 1,000 acceptances in International Nature Competitions held in Australia, New Zealand, China, India, South Africa, and Europe as well as North America.
       Joe's works have been exhibited in a one-man show at the Colorado Photographic Arts Center in Denver. His line of photographic greeting cards is sold throughout the Rocky Mountain West. He has had a number of articles published in Nature Photographer magazine.
       Joe has been Chairman of the Rocky Mountain Chapter of PSA and President of the Colorado Council of Camera Clubs. He has served as President of the Mile High Wildlife, Colorado Nature, Englewood, North Denver, and Rocky Mountain Stereo Camera Clubs.
       Joe has an intimate knowledge of most of the National Parks and Monuments in the western United States and is especially well known for his dramatic landscapes. His photographic journeys have also taken him to Africa thirteen times, to the Arctic nine times, to Alaska and Argentina three times each, to Chile twice, to the Falkland Islands three times, and to Antarctica.
       Teaching photographic techniques is especially enjoyable for Joe. He has presented lectures from coast to coast, highlighted by programs at the International Convention of the Photographic Society of America and four visits to the Annual Convention of the New England Council of Camera Clubs (NECCC).
       Joe is the author of three successful books. The first, entitled "How to Photograph Landscapes" is now in its second printing and was published by Stackpole Books as part of their "How to" series. Joe's other two books for Stackpole, "Photographer's Guide to Yellowstone and the Tetons" and "Photographer's Guide to the Grand Canyon and Northern Arizona" are also available either from Joe or at your favorite bookstore.
       Joe and Bonnie are currently Associate Editors of Nature Photographer magazine where they have articles published regularly.

Bonnie L. Lange
       Bonnie is also an experienced photographer and has been awarded five stars in the Photographic Society of America's Nature Division. Her photographs are marketed internationally by Index Stock Imagery in New York and have been published in Colorado Outdoors. She has co-authored several articles in Nature Photographer Magazine. Her greeting cards are marketed thru Dramatic Light.
       When Dramatic Light has more than five participants on a workshop, she will assist Joe in the field. When Joe is on Tour, she will handle your requests for information and answer your questions about future workshops.
