Join me for three unforgettable days of photography on beautiful Dauphin Island, Alabama! This Gulf Coast gem is famous for its pristine white sand beaches and rich natural beauty, offering endless opportunities for both color and infrared photography.

At the island’s eastern tip, you’ll find historic Fort Gaines, a 19th-century stronghold overlooking the entrance to Mobile Bay. Nature lovers will also enjoy the Audubon Bird Sanctuary, where forests, dunes, and swamps provide shelter for countless migrating birds.

 

Over the course of three days, you’ll be guided to some of the island’s most picturesque locations, where you’ll receive hands-on instruction in creating breathtaking infrared images. Each evening, we’ll gather to capture the magic of the sunset—an unforgettable highlight every day.

With a balance of two days devoted to shooting in the field and one day focused on post-production, you’ll not only learn the technical skills behind infrared photography but also how to refine your images into works of art. Arrive with curiosity, and you’ll leave with a collection of stunning photographs you’ll be proud to share.
