Event description

Learn light-painting photography while enjoying the night sky in Joshua Tree National Park.

This is an ADA-accessible and leisurely activity - less than 2 miles with little or no elevation gain, shade and seating may be available.

Casey is an award-winning photographer and filmmaker living in Joshua Tree. He teaches photography through his company "Joshua Tree Workshops".

Looking for a different kind of night photography class? Try night painting photography with award-winning photographer Casey Kiernan. Every image is unique, and everyone will have a chance to be creative in this spontaneous style of image-making. Students provide their camera equipment. A DSLR or mirrorless camera and a sturdy tripod are required. Cell phone cameras are not sufficient for this workshop. All proceeds from this workshop go directly to Joshua Tree National Park!

All required items participants need to bring for the course: water/drinks, food, and snacks, easily packed and eaten in the field for the duration of your course; closed-toe athletic shoes or hiking boots; no sandals, not even hiking sandals; sun protection: hat, sunglasses, sunscreen; light-colored long-sleeved shirts are recommended and very effective on hot days, warm layers for cooler mornings/evenings (it can be surprisingly cold!), backpack to carry food, water, and any personal items you need for the day, notebook and pencil are always good to have. Required: DSLR or Mirrorless Camera, sturdy Tripod. Recommended: Remote shutter - wired or wireless, with a red light on the headlamp.

Desert Institute is the educational branch of JTNPA, Joshua Tree National Park’s primary non-profit partner and offers field classes, recreational adventures, weekend excursions, and social events that span a wide spectrum of disciplines and formats. Our programming works to articulate and animate the rich resources of not only the national park but also the surrounding desert environment and the community of people who make Joshua Tree so unique. Our vision is to provide a rich, inclusive learning environment that inspires people of all ages and backgrounds to recreate together and help steward this beautiful place for years to come.

Desert Institute (DI) was established in 1999 by the former Chief of Interpretation and current Vice President of JTNPA’s Board of Directors, Joe Zarki. DI was operated by the National Park Service in its first year thanks to a grant from the Parks as Classrooms program. After the first year, the Institute program was absorbed by JTNPA as part of its educational operations.

JTNPA has provided support to the park for over 60 years through educational programming, cash aid, in-kind aid, and visitor center operations. We work in partnership with Joshua Tree National Park to help achieve programming goals in education and interpretation, along with scientific and historical research and activities.
