Blue Ridge Waterfalls

The Best of North Carolina's Scenic Waterfalls

October 20 – 25, 2024

The Blue Ridge Mountains are home to an astonishing number of waterfalls and the greatest variety of trees found anywhere in America. This incredible biodiversity means that fall brings an explosion of color in various shades that is hard to rival anywhere else in the country. During this workshop, we’ll explore iconic locations and hidden gems during the peak for fall colors, with dense mountain fog frequently rolling over the hills.

We will be based out of gorgeous Asheville, North Carolina, which grants us central access to the surrounding region in all directions. This is an immersive workshop, and we will get up close with many of these waterfalls to create powerful compositions while also focusing on the small details to reveal the location’s unique character. Be sure to bring your filters because we’ll be practicing our long-exposure skills to create silky-smooth images of the waterfalls. All of these skills from the field will come together in the classroom when we cover the special editing techniques that go into creating a masterful waterfall image.
