Layer upon layer of forested ridges stretch across the border of North Carolina and Tennessee, forming Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Established in 1926, the park is famed for its seemingly endless woodlands, blanketed in the mist that inspired the name “Smokies.” This treasured mountain range is celebrated worldwide for its extraordinary biodiversity, the timeless beauty of its ancient peaks, and the rich cultural history of the southern Appalachian region.
Over the course of this 3-day workshop, you’ll be guided to some of the most spectacular locations and receive hands-on instruction in creating striking infrared images. Come with a desire to learn, and you’ll leave with a collection of beautiful photographs. Our time together includes two days of shooting in the field and one day dedicated to post-production. Please note that the schedule may be adjusted based on weather conditions and group interests.
We will meet each morning and proceed to spend as much time as possible exploring this wonderful park.
