Arrival, Orientation and Night Shoot

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.

Out in the Field

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.
