April in the Smokies means peak wildflower season, wonderful streams and waterfalls surrounding by bright green foliage and hopefully beautiful sunrises. Really, does photography get any better than this?
This is the landscape and nature photography workshop I’ve always wanted to teach. I fell in love with the Great Smoky Mountains National Park the first time I visited. My love for the park has grown with each subsequent visit.
Join me for 4 ½ days of photographing in my favorite National Park at my favorite time of year.
This workshop is for you if you . .
-
Appreciate beautiful places and capturing their memories
-
Enjoy spending time in nature
-
Embrace the opportunity to spend time with and learn from like-minded photographers
-
Seek personal guidance as you improve your wildflower and landscape photography skills
-
Have the vision but can’t get your gear to cooperate
At the Workshop you will . . .
-
Have a great time photographing in the magnificent Great Smoky Mountains National Park
-
Compose photographs that allow you to share what caught your eye in the field
-
Express your vision
-
Capture the beauty you see in your photographs
We’ll be based out of Gatlinburg, Tennessee and start our time together on Sunday evening to go over the schedule and a few details for the workshop. We’ll photograph in the park from Monday through Friday morning. Some of the locations we’ll be photographing at include Cades Cove, Clingman’s Dome (weather permitting) and some of my favorite wildflower locations. Depending on the weather, we may also take a day long field trip to a nearby location.
We won’t just be photographing in the field. Most days we’ll gather mid-day for talks on landscape and flower photography.
Bonus! You will also have a private consultation with me about your next steps on your path to becoming a better photographer. We’ll end on Friday morning with a slideshow of participant photos from the workshop.
I’m limiting the workshop to 6 participants (plus an assistant) to ensure that I’m able to give each of you the personalized attention you should get in a photography workshop.
