These photo walks are organized and created for you to enjoy the nuances of the Charleston area with an experienced local photographer. We visit an iconic location and talk about the basics of creating better images, no matter if you’re using a high tech camera or a mobile phone. Light, composition, and other topics are discussed. Most walks are between $35-50/person. This is not meant to be considered a full workshop…just exploring and learning together how to be better photographers out in nature. I look forward to seeing you in the field!

Folly Beach Winter Sunset

Folly Beach is one of my favorite sunset locations. Winter is the best time to get the sun setting over the ocean. We’ll meet at the County Park and talk about late day light, learn how to compose a great sunset photo, and maybe even have some fun with creative in-camera motion. No fancy equipment necessary. A mobile phone or any camera will do.
