October 1st-5th, 2025
NORTH HUDSON, NY

Photography Experience Level: Beginner to Advanced

Physical Fitness Level: Easy-to-Moderate

Join photographers Mandy Lea and Kendrick Callaway as we experience the beautiful fall foliage of the Adirondacks Park in upstate New York! Brimming with breathtaking vistas, stunning water features, and, of course, colorful fall foliage; this scenic area spans more than six million acres and is the largest protected natural area in the continental United States!

Regardless of your experience level you’ll receive plenty of personalized instruction from Mandy and Kendrick during this photography workshop! We will help shooters of all abilities learn everything from the basics of camera functions to more advance techniques. Throughout the workshop there will be plenty of opportunities to photograph in the field and learn post processing in the classroom. Lastly, a final day image review session with other students will give interesting insight into how different people photograph the same locations as well as instructor critiques of your favorite images.

Our days will start early, end late, and be full of stunning fall foliage scenery!

Workshop Size Limit: 10

Note: The group size is being limited to ten participants to ensure each student gets plenty of one-on-one instruction in the field. Minimum class size must be met or workshop might be cancelled.
