South Carolina Photo Workshop: Coastal Landscapes, Cypress Swamps & Gardens
South Carolina’s Low Country is the essence of spring. Each year the climate and sun bring everything to life. We will photograph towering oaks and tree lined roads. We have pre-dawn access to Ashely River for sunrise and local gardens to capture spring blooms. Old historic piers dot the coast line, and old cypress swamps awaken. We live in the Carolinas, we know the best, and the lesser known photo spots, old wooden piers, lakes with floating cypress trees and tree filled beaches. Lodge away from Charleston’s hectic city traffic and highway hotels, and enjoy a true, peaceful spring workshop where inspiration, learning and smiles are abundant!
