The last week of June the Boyer YL Ranch was fortunate to host the Kim Weston Photography Workshop. This is the second time for this group to use the YL as their photography backdrop having been here five years ago in 2013.
Kimberly Coats, co-owner of the Boyer YL Ranch, sat down for an interview with Zachary Weston, a fourth generation photographer, to talk about the group’s experience this past June
Tell us a little about Kim Weston Photography? History, Awards, etc.
Weston Photography is a family owned and operated photography business located at Edward Weston’s former home in Carmel Highlands, California. We are a leading provider of fine art nude photography workshops and offer handcrafted silver gelatin prints by Edward and Kim Weston.
How many workshops do you host per year and what are the locations?
We host around 5-6 photography workshops per year. We like to host 3 Wildcat Studio Nude Workshops at our home on Wildcat Hill in Carmel, CA. We try and schedule at least two destination workshops, and the locations of these workshops differ from year to year. A few locations we have gone to in the past include Germany, Spain, and France. This year our destination workshops included the Boyer YL Ranch in Wyoming and the Holz/Weston Workshop in The Catskill Mountains in Upstate New York.
Why did you choose Boyer YL Ranch?
We chose Boyer YL Ranch because it provides an endless amount of inspiration and creativity. The main house, cabins and surrounding grounds are amazing. There is so much history at the ranch, and you feel like you step back in time while you are there. There is so much beauty it is sometimes hard to take it all in!
What was the highlight of this last workshop held in June at the ranch?
The highlight for us was seeing all the amazing work created by our students. The quality of work that came out of this workshop was exceptional.
What if any was the feedback from your clients regarding the ranch workshop?
All of our participants had nothing but good things to say about the workshop at the ranch. From the aspen grove to the grounds at the ranch, they were amazed with all the photographic opportunities. All their needs and expectations were met, and they all thoroughly enjoyed their time.
