Itinerary
All locations and times visited will be determined by the weather & conditions in field. all elements are watched closely for the best photographic and learning experience. Please note the itinerary can change based on teh weather, tides and following should only be considered as a sample of what each day would look like and may not be the order in which the workshop is hosted.
Day One
We’ll meet at the hotel at 3:00 p.m. and begin with a welcoming presentation designed to prepare and inspire you for the days ahead. We’ll explore creative intention, artistic voice, and the importance of slowing down to truly see.
After dinner together, we’ll begin individual portfolio conversations. This is not a traditional critique. Instead, Tiffany will look at your work as a whole, helping you recognize the patterns, strengths, and visual qualities already emerging within your photography.
Day Two
We’ll meet before dawn and carpool to our first sunrise location. Throughout the morning, we’ll photograph at several carefully selected locations, following the light and allowing space for observation, experimentation, and creative discovery.
After brunch and a midday break, we’ll gather again for an evening of photography, ending with a sunset session. Guided field assignments will encourage you to slow down, explore new techniques, and approach familiar subjects in a more intuitive way.
Day Three
We’ll begin again at sunrise, continuing to explore light, atmosphere, and creative seeing in the field.
After breakfast, we’ll gather for an image review and processing session. Tiffany will offer thoughtful guidance on image selection, creative decisions, and how your processing choices can support the feeling and intention behind your photographs.
Portfolio conversations will continue during the afternoon as needed. Following a short break, we’ll return to the field for several evening locations and conclude the day with a sunset session.
Day Four
We’ll meet well before sunrise for our final photography session together, bringing the ideas and techniques from the retreat into one last intentional morning in the field.
Afterward, we’ll enjoy brunch together and reflect on the work created during our time together. The retreat will conclude between 9:00 and 10:00 a.m., allowing time to return to the hotel, freshen up, and check out before continuing on to your next adventure.
