Most of our time will be spent shooting in the field, but we'll balance that with classroom instruction where we can work on processing, mobile infrared, posing, and more.

In addition to learning a host of photography techniques, you are sure to return with cards full of wonderful images to work with!

Covid Protocol
While the pandemic seems to be improving, we will still take the following precautions to keep our group and our hosts safe:

All participants must be vaccinated and boosted

Masks will be required while in transit and when we are inside closed areas as a group.

Most of our activities will be outdoors, but in the event we go into shops, museums, restaurants, or other public places, we will mask.

Outside, masks may be worn at your discretion.

We'll visit two of the Atlanta area's most beautiful gardens, explore the rusting wrecks at Old Car City, and photograph ballet dancers and models in some locations. (Yes, Ramses has been networking with dancers and models in the Atlanta area!)
