Join local photographer Len Villano as we venture into the heart of Door County’s iconic winter landscapes. 
We’ll carpool to some of Len’s favorite photography locations—and maybe discover a few new hidden gems along the way. Learn valuable winter photography techniques from Len while expanding your own portfolio. Each outing will offer something new, as weather and light create ever-changing opportunities.
One thing is certain: the excitement of photographing Door County during its most spectacular season never fades!
