My name is ​Trent Sizemore​ and I have been working and teaching photography since 2011. A large portion of my art focuses on the unique landscape and wildlife of Yellowstone National Park, but through my occasional traveling I have captured other areas around the country as well. I’m originally from Lilburn, Georgia, but now reside with my wife in West Yellowstone, Montana, where I work as a wildlife photographer, instructor, and tour guide.

I was initially attracted to the greater Yellowstone area because of the stories my friends would tell me about their yearly trips to the park. Upon graduating college in 2014 with a B.A. in Art concentrated in Photography and Graphic Design, I took a seasonal job in Grand Teton National Park to test run life in this new territory. I had hopes of giving my photography a greater opportunity to expand while enjoying the many outdoor activities this region has to offer. Needless to say, I fell in love with the area and I’ve been here ever since.

Over the years, I’ve had my work published internationally, both online and in print. In November 2017, I had a full gallery of my Yellowstone photography displayed at my alma mater, Young Harris College in Young Harris, Georgia. In addition to my own group workshops, I've also led several Yellowstone events and serve on the board of directors for ​North American Nature Photography Association​.

Trent Sizemore Photography is authorized by the National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior, to conduct services in Yellowstone National Park.

WHAT MAKES MY WORKSHOPS UNIQUE?

When it comes to improving photography, it is easy to feel overwhelmed by the unorganized "tips and tricks" found online or the daunting camera manual. My Yellowstone photography workshops help photographers master the fundamentals of their camera so their focus can be applied to the creative aspects of their work - where great photographs are made.

I've helped hundreds of photographers with the fundamental concepts that lead to real improvements in their work. When you master the fundamentals, you can shift your focus to creativity, see things in a new way, and start creating photographic art that has a real impact on other people.

When you join a photography workshop in Yellowstone, you will:

  1. Master the​ ​fundamental​ ​technical​ ​aspects​ of photography that assist you in capturing great photos.
  2. Learn to creatively utilize these fundamentals​ to create an intentional piece of art.
  3. Experience and photograph some of the best wildlife​ and landscapes that North America has to offer with a local guide.

Great photographs combine a mastery of the fundamentals with the personal touch of the photographer's unique creativity. If you're confused about using your camera to its fullest potential, you're just relying on luck to get a great shot. Once you master the fundamentals, you’re no longer worried about having the wrong settings and missing a shot. You'll enjoy getting out to photograph nature, knowing you have all the tools needed to transform your creative vision into a photograph.

A Note about Ethics
We will not photograph wildlife if it's unsafe to do or if the animal starts showing signs of stress. Ethical photography is important and will be of utmost importance with my workshop clients. Although most wildlife will be near the road, we won't be able to photograph them unless we find a safe pullout. Stopping on the road is not allowed.
