Christopher Marona grew up in cowboy country and has spent his life learning the western ways and documenting them with his photography. He is a staff photographer with ‘Cowboys & Indians’ magazine and his work often adorns the pages of ‘Western Horseman’ and other western magazines. His work is vividly displayed in the coffee table book ‘Colorado Cowboys’ by Westcliffe Publishers. He is also accomplished and has earned national awards in fashion, studio and architectural photography. Largely self taught, he sees teaching as an integral part of his work as a professional photographer and leads workshops throughout the west from the canyon country of Utah to Colorado fall color trips.
This is a five day workshop with one day in Durango at the Palmer Quarter Horse Ranch and at Christopher’s studio and four days of horseback adventure out of the comfort of Over the Hill Outfitter’s high country basecamp. Horses will transport us and our equipment to remote and wild areas of the Weminuche Wilderness. Christopher’s enthusiasm and patience will fire you up to expand your horizons in outdoor photography while you are completely submerged in nature. Wranglers and horses will be available to create authentic western scenes in the most beautiful mountains anywhere. Gourmet meals await at camp as you take in the last shooting opportunities at dusk followed by fireside question and answer sessions, far out stories and general mayhem.
Digital photographic techniques are encouraged and all types of equipment are welcome. Christopher has experience with everything from large format to pocket digital cameras. He keeps abreast of the rapidly advancing digital photographic field and is a wealth of knowledge for both those overwhelmed by the capabilities of this new medium and those who want to push its limits.

If you have a place to go and need to get your equipment there, Over the Hill Outfitters can help. We can transport your camp and climbing gear so that you can spend more time peak-bagging and less time hauling your supplies in and out of the mountains. We can get you and your equipment to the top of the Continental Divide so that you can enjoy an extended trek. If you’re planning a scientific or photographic expedition, we can safely move your equipment and camps to remote locations. The possibilities are endless. Just ask and we can arrange to transport almost anything. The cost for our packing service is based on the weight and bulk of the gear and the number of animals needed to carry it in addition to the number of wranglers and their horses needed to get the job done.
