Arrive in Savannah by 2pm and check into the hotel (details provided upon registration). We will meet around 4pm, go to an early dinner and discover the beauty of Savannah as the sun sets. Our first evening will feature a night shoot at the famous Forsyth Fountain. While our next few days may change based on weather or other circumstances, the planned adventures are the same.
Today features street photography and Historic Sites. From sunrise to sunset, our group will enjoy the many beautiful sights of Savannah. We will visit historic squares, iconic sites like Forsyth Park, architecture on every corner. We will enjoy the culinary treats of Savannah, from chocolate to famous restaurants. Street artists, beautiful churches and statues will charm you and your camera.
Just outside the heart of the Historic District are more adventures waiting for us. One evening we will have private access to Bonaventure Cemetery, both historic and beautiful. The grace and charm of this famous site will provide stories from the past and great images in the present.
Midway through the workshop, we escape to Tybee Island, just 20 minutes from the city. Here, the rhythm slows for you and your camera. Sandy toes, seagulls, and salty air set the scene for a relaxed morning of coastal photography. Weather permitting, we will capture a beautiful sunrise by Tybee Pier. After breakfast, we will explore the beautiful Fort Pulaski National Monument where you can capture images that are both creative and historic.
Each time we are in the Savannah Historic District, we will seek a variety of locations to expand your creativity while providing a culinary experience that only this town can offer. From riverfront shops and boats, to beautiful streets of cobblestone lined with historic homes, you can capture images that will be different from most workshops.
The workshop ends at the end of the fourth night, so you can plan departures any time that day. If you have a later departure, you can return to locations you enjoyed for a few more photographs in the morning. Or, you can shop for great Savannah souvenirs.
