Workshop Description: We’ll meet at the famous Marfa Lights Viewing Site at 8:30 p.m. and drive into Marfa to catch the sunset. We'll look for the perfect subjects to play against beautiful twilight skies as the city lights come to life. Gabe will push you to look for movement and to create—rather than just capture. We’ll add light painting when necessary and visit iconic locations like the Stardust Hotel Sign, Tiny Target, Prada Store, and more. We’ll end the three hour tour back under the stars at the Marfa Lights Viewing Area to see if we can witness those mysterious and otherworldly lights or, perhaps, just create our own!

About the Instructor: Gabriel Biderman is a travel and fine art photographer who has been exploring the night topography for over 20 years. Gabe loves the “process” of creating the image and pushing the limits to what we can do when we capture time for seconds, minutes, or even hours! He is well versed in both film and digital, and enjoys blending the surreal look of the night to enhance historic and urban landscapes. Gabriel is the co-founder of National Parks at Night, the leading source for night photography education and hands-on workshops since 2015. He has also been teaching night photography online with Creative Live and B&H as well as with schools (Rocky Mountain School of Photography, Maine Media Workshops) and at various trade shows and institutions since 2008.
Gabriel’s work has been exhibited in New York, London, San Francisco, and Hawaii and he is the author (with Tim Cooper) of Night Photography – From Snapshots to Great Shots.
