Private Photography Workshops

A Private Photography Workshop is a perfect investment in your creativity.

Ready to take your landscape photography to the next level? My private photography workshops are designed for the photographer who wants focused, one-to-one instruction in the field — with real-time guidance on composition, light, and creative vision. This is the perfect time to slow down and let your creativity soar!

Whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your craft, there’s no better way to accelerate your skills than working side-by-side with a working professional in inspiring locations, especially in the Southern Appalachians.

Based in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, I offer private sessions throughout the Southern Appalachians, including Mountain Streams, Waterfalls, Wildflowers, beautiful Vistas, and many other hidden gems I’ve discovered over decades of exploration. With Private Workshops, you will receive a shoot plan based on your goals, interests, and experience level. Then, we’ll head into the field to chase the best light and scenes the day has to offer. While we’re out there, we’ll focus on composition, angle of view, and tonal challenges.

From mastering manual settings to learning how to create depth, emotion, and drama in your images, these workshops are all about unlocking your potential as a landscape photographer. Whether you're looking to build a stronger portfolio, print sales, exhibitions, or simply growing your own creativity, I’ll meet you where you are and help guide the way forward.

Every Session includes:

  • Discounted Hotel rates.

  • Custom itinerary and location planning

  • Field instruction tailored to your skill level

  • Transportation during the Workshop

  • Lunchtime or Dinner discussion - All questions answered
