Wildflowers & Waterfalls Photo Workshop
April 2-5, 2025
Gatlinburg, Tennessee
Join Ken Jenkins, Brett Wells, and April Love in the Great Smoky Mountains for 4 days of exploring and capturing the beauty that is the largest variety of wildflowers in any National Park in the country, as well as magnificent streams, cascades, and waterfalls around almost every bend. We will concentrate on two of our favorite genres in photography, macro and water!
We will spend some time in the classroom talking about gear, reviewing images and answering questions. Most of our time will be spent out in the field though. Brett and Ken will be giving photo instruction in the field and answering questions for anyone while you are shooting. We do want you to share your images throughout the workshop though, so we will try to share images taken each day from all the participants (and instructors) with the group.
Workshop Investment - $549 per participant (does not include lodging or meals)
*Limited to 15 Participants
