The Lodge at Bow Lake
Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada
October 12-16, 2026

An unforgettable creative experience at a cozy mountain lodge in the heart of the Canadian Rockies: the recently renovated Lodge at Bow Lake.

StoryScapes: A Landscape Photography Masterclass brings us back to the building blocks of what makes for original and compelling landscape photography. Guided by mentors Paul Zizka and fine art photographer Stasia Schmidt, with the support of fellow creatives, you’ll delve into what it means to approach iconic landscapes with purpose—and how to infuse your work with both meaning and a powerful visual narrative. With each passing day, we’ll build upon concepts and provide time for critiques, post-processing and helpful discussions that will bring your work to the next level.

What you learn through this process will be invaluable to your craft and body of work moving forward.
