Charleston is a southern belle. With her handsome architecture,
that famous charm, beautiful tree-shaded
squares, old cemeteries, and an interesting waterfront. Nearby, there are "boneyards" of skeletal trees, several, historic
plantations, and old church ruins. There is lots to explore and
tempt your photographic eye.
And we must not forget the wonderful cypress swamps with their graceful tree roots dripping into the water and reflections amongst spring flowers.
We look forward to returning to this area with all its photographic opportunities. You'll be treated to
beautiful gardens, the omnipresent Spanish Moss hanging off Live Oak trees, and the elegant, sometimes faded,
grandeur of the old south. You may even see an alligator
basking in the sun on the banks of an old rice pond!
Here, you'll be able to celebrate your
passion for photography, hone your seeing and imaging
skills, and learn about the magic of light to make
wonderful photographs.
We will be based in Charleston with easy access to both the old town and the
plantations and lowcountry nearby.
For anyone loving a slice of history
and the grace of the old South, you can't go wrong. You'll be able to celebrate your passion for photography, seek your own vision, hone your seeing
and imaging skills, and learn about the magic of light to make wonderful photographs.
Scouting Option:
For those who want more time with Margo and Arnie, we offer the opportunity to scout and shoot with them before most of our domestic workshops. We limit this to two people per day who ride in the car with the instructors. During these days while Arnie and Margo do their own photography and final scouting for the workshop, there is also lots of individual instruction and discussions about photography.
