Lori Kincaid Photography: Workshops and Instruction

PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOPS AT MAX PATCH

Lori is now offering photography workshops in her own backyard: the Max Patch area of Pisgah National Forest. Private workshops require a minimum of three persons and are customized to the interests of the participants. Seasonal workshops are designed for photographers at all levels and include both classroom and field instruction in using light, composition, and technique to photograph the diverse and often chaotic environment of the Southern Appalachians.

Both private and seasonal workshops include lodging at Lori's vacation rental, "Wiley's Place", situated on an open ridgetop in the heart of the Max Patch area. There, participants can photograph star trails from the deck or kick back in the hot tub after an exhilarating day in the field.

Private workshops usually start on a Friday afternoon and run through Sunday morning, but can be scheduled on other days. Seasonal Workshops run from Thursday afternoon to Sunday morning and include instruction, meals and lodging.

Private Workshop Tuition: $375, includes instruction, and two nights lodging.

Seasonal Workshop Tuition: $595, includes instruction, food and three nights lodging. Non-photographer spouses/companions are welcome at a reduced fee of $395 (includes food and lodging).

Spring Workshop, April 29 to May 2, 2010. Spring wildflower displays in the Max Patch area are some of the most extensive and diverse found anywhere in the Southern Appalachians. At elevations ranging from 1900 ft in Harmon Den to more than 4600 ft atop Max Patch Mountain, Lori will take you to special locations known only to a few where you can photograph blankets of large-flowered trillium, dramatic vistas, and closeups of untold species of flora. Easy to moderate hiking is required.

Fall Workshop, October 14 to 17, 2010. Max Patch is known for its spectacular fall foliage and this workshop is timed to hit the traditional peak. You''ll photograph grand vistas from atop Max Patch Mountain and in Lori's literal backyard, where she has made many of her published photographs, or you may take to the woods to capture the intimate landscape found deep in the forest and along little-known creeks and streams. Easy to moderate hiking is required.
