Travel to Las Vegas with photographers Danny Howard & Denise Orlin. Danny and Denise have many years of experience teaching at Richard Stromberg’s Chicago Photography Classes as well as in commercial and fine art photography.

 

While in Las Vegas, we will capture the stunning landscapes and nature that surround the city. We will also go to the heart of Vegas and capture some of the quirkiness and oddities for which it is famous.

 

Las Vegas was settled in 1905, and at the end of the 20th century and was the most populated city in the US that was founded in that century. Curiously, the most populated city in the century before that was--Chicago.

 

Vegas is the largest city situated within the greater Mojave Desert area. We will stay on the outskirts of the city with easy access to our landscape locations and the city.
