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 with your mobile phone. Light, composition, processing techniques, 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!
