Work with Stunning Art Models and World-Class Instructors
In the Epic Nude Workshop, you'll create images with stunning figure models and one-on-one instruction to help you create your finest works of art. We’ll guide you through some of the most diverse and iconic locations in North America, including the Hoh Rainforest with spectacular beaches, towering sea stacks, windswept cypress trees, the pristine Sol Duc falls where fern-filled cliffs meet turquoise water, and more!
Beginning and intermediate photographers will receive personalized instruction in posing, ‘seeing’ and crafting the Fine Art Nude image, while more advanced photographers can opt to spend more time capturing and creating their polished works of art in the field. This workshop is designed so that you will get the most out of it – regardless of your level of skill.
Our workshop participants find tremendous creative growth from the feedback they receive during our daily image critique sessions. Joel will provide you with thoughtful insight into where your strengths are – to reinforce them – and ideas on how to make your images even stronger. Many people find this part of the workshop to be the most transformational element for their photography.
You’ll learn how to take an image beyond a simple snapshot – and create a truly dynamic photograph: cumulating the best elements of the technical side of an image with the most important part – what it means to you and what you have to say to your audience.
Experienced Models
You'll work with some of Model Society's most accomplished art models. These talented models will help you create remarkable works of art, even if you're new to fine art photography. Most workshops have 15 or 20 photographers surrounding the same model, essentially capturing the same image. But on this epic adventure, the photographer to model ratio is an intimate 2 to 1.
Learn from Master Photographer and Educator Joel Belmont
Joel provides a level of cutting-edge photographic instruction you won’t find in any other workshop. His extensive experience in creating, exhibiting, curating, and teaching innovative fine art nude photography will guide you through a process to help you transform your work from the inside-out.

We also hire a private chef that caters all meals on location! Our attendees are always blown away by the level of cuisine we provide on our trips.

Stunning Photographic Opportunities
The Olympic Peninsula is one of the most diverse landscapes and climates outside of New Zealand’s South Island! From the glacier-capped peaks deep inside Olympic National Park, through the awe-inspiring rainforests, down to the postcard-worthy iconic coastline and beaches – even a nature photographer will be absolutely blown away on this trip!
