Description
The 8th annual Black Hills Photo Shootout is a photography festival which brings photographers from across the country to South Dakota for photography, education, sightseeing, camaraderie, and fun. The event showcases the natural beauty of South Dakota along with the photography expertise of highly respected professional photographers. The Shootout is organized and managed by Outdoor Photo Workshops (OPW) in conjunction with numerous photography professionals. With this partnership, we are able to mesh the expertise of instructors who have a variety of photography backgrounds with the expertise of a professional photography workshop and tour leader to create a fun and educational photography festival.
The first question we often get, and you may even be
asking, is, “So, why South Dakota?” The Black Hills area of South Dakota is one of North America’s hidden gem’s for outdoor and nature photography, abounding in wildlife, beautiful scenery, and imagery of the old and new west. While we really thought about keeping this photography treasure all to ourselves and our cameras, instead we have developed the Black Hills Photo Shootout. Through this event we are able to showcase the beauty and diversity the area has to offer both visitors and residents while providing attendees a great weekend packed full of informative workshops, great networking opportunities, unbelievable outdoor photography subjects, and most of all, fun!
