Brand Partners
We're very fortunate to have the support of some brands that believe in photography and creativity as much as our instructors.
Every brand that partners with us is one whose gear or services we use regularly, if not exclusively. Their vision creating products that enable creativity is something we appreciate as active artists and commercial photographers.
Each partner brings value for the workshop attendees, too! You will have access to benefits from our partners at the workshops. Not signed up yet? Check out our workshops.
Acratech is a family-run manufacturer of quality and innovative ball heads and accessories. We absolutely love their GP and GPSS ball heads for all of our day and night work. All Acratech products are meticulously machined in their small facility in California. We are absolutely amazed (and thankful) that they have somehow created a variety of ball heads under 1 pound that support over 25 pounds. Never worry about your camera support again with Acratech!
Some of the best printing in the business today is being done by Bay Photo Lab. Their products are industry-leading and include prints on metal, canvas, wood, tile and of course, extremely high-quality papers.
BenQ offers a broad range of products, services and solutions. National Parks at Night uses and recommends Benq digital projectors and professional monitors, which provide brilliant detail and incredibly accurate color.
B&H Photo has been a supporter of photographers of every level for 50 years. We are attracted to their integrity, world-class customer service and fair prices.
Calibrite is an integral part of our photographic workflow from capture to post-processing. Their color targets, colorimeters and software ensure that our color, brightness and contrast start from a verified and repeatable point of truth. This gives us the confidence to embark on our own creative edits knowing that the color science is accurate from the very beginning.
If there’s one commonality among everyone in this community, it’s that we could all use an extra piece of gear or two when we go on a night photography trip. For that, Lensrentals is our go-to source. Want to try a brand new camera in Yosemite? Need a telephoto for Yellowstone? How about a tilt-shift for shooting lighthouses? Lensrentals is ready to ship to you at home or on the road.
Novoflex provides precision-engineered tripod support solutions with a clever system approach. This means we can mix and match our tripod components to meet the challenges we have while making night photography. Changing legs types or sizes, changing the tripod spider, as well as changing the accessories we use (such as panorama gimbals) is easy and reduces what we carry, all while increasing our capabilities.
