Our workshop in the White Mountains of New Hampshire is all about the incredible autumn color palette in this region. The reflections of fall colors in streams and rivers, colorful overlooks, large ponds, birch forests, and tree-lined gorges are the subjects of this very accessible photo workshop.

Tony and Susan have been teaching in the White Mountains for over 30 years. This workshop features exhilarating fall color that never disappoints. We love sharing this fleeting experience with other photographers.

What to Expect from Our Workshops

Each daily itinerary in our Visual Artistry workshops offers a perfect balance of shooting time in the field with rest, photo processing, and socializing with your fellow photographers.

Our workshops will shoot 2-3 locations each day, offering you a variety of scenes, lighting, and opportunities to advance your skills with help from Tony and Susan.

A typical day includes:

Sunrise and Morning Photo Session: We have many locations for sunrise, depending on the conditions. We will capture the most varied color palette of the day with soft, pre-dawn violets and purples to various cloud cover and clear skies. We have locations scouted for all possible weather and light conditions, along with backup plans.
Photographer’s breakfast: After the morning session, we invite our small group to join us as we retreat from our morning session for a leisurely group breakfast filled with “apres-shoot” conversation. Get to know your fellow photographers and learn from their personal photography journeys as you pursue your own path. We may or may not visit another morning location, depending on conditions.
Early afternoon photo critique: Everyone is invited to submit several photos for helpful, supportive critique that can provide immediate feedback and ideas to try during the following workshop photo sessions. These photo review sessions are an invaluable way to explore the creative vision of your fellow workshop photographers and see ways to amplify the strengths Tony and Susan see in everyone’s work.
Golden Hour photo session: In the afternoon, we will reconvene and move to our afternoon photo locations in time to discover and compose the scenes and prepare to adapt to rapidly changing lighting conditions.

After the final session of the day, you are “off the clock” and free for some alone time, dinner and/or drinks with companions, or further post-processing of the day’s harvest. Get rested and ready for the next morning, which arrives early.
