South Carolina Photo Workshop: Coastal Landscapes, Cypress Swamps & Gardens

Avatar Photo of Jennifer King Photo Workshops

Experience spring in South Carolina’s Lowcountry, where live oaks draped in Spanish moss, blooming gardens, cypress swamps, historic piers, and peaceful beaches create endless photographic opportunities. With special pre-dawn access along the Ashley River, we will photograph sunrise landscapes, birds and wildlife, canopy-covered roads, and the weathered trees along the coast. As Carolina locals, we will take you beyond the familiar places to some of the region’s lesser-known locations for a relaxing, inspiring, and creatively rewarding photography workshop.

South Carolina Photo Workshop Description



South Carolina’s Low Country is the essence of spring. Each year the climate and sun bring everything to life. We will photograph towering oaks and tree lined roads. We have pre-dawn access to Ashely River for sunrise and local gardens to capture spring blooms. Old historic piers dot the coast line, and old cypress swamps awaken. We live in the Carolinas, we know the best, and the lesser known photo spots, old wooden piers, lakes with floating cypress trees and tree filled beaches. Lodge away from Charleston’s hectic city traffic and highway hotels, and enjoy a true, peaceful spring workshop where inspiration, learning and smiles are abundant!


We will photograph sunrise along the Ashely River with live oak trees with Spanish moss, and experience early morning photography with lakes, gardens and bridges. We will visit and photograph birds and wildlife at the Audubon Swamp Garden and Bird Sanctuary, and capture nature at the Audubon Swamp Forest. Sunrise at the beach with an old pier, and of course we will photograph the Boneyard Beach where old oak trees stand in the surf. The Low Country is filled with gardens, blooms, canopy covered roads and old oak trees, and it is one of the most relaxing, and creatively charged workshops we offer.

I still remember what it was like to learn photography, and I remember the struggles. Why is an f-stop also called aperture? Why is exposure time also your shutter speed? Interchangeable words for the same photographic term can be confusing, not to mention frustrating when all you want to do is become a good photographer. I am sensitive to this and the insecurity it creates in your photographic journey. I’ve spent years refining how I teach photography—making both the technical and creative aspects easier to understand while creating a supportive environment where photographers can learn, experiment, and grow.

For more than 14 years, I have photographed and taught in landscapes I know intimately. Knowing these locations allows me to do more than guide you to a beautiful view. I can help you anticipate the light, recognize creative possibilities, and slow down long enough to make thoughtful photographs that feel like your own.

Since 1994, I have worked as an art director, creative director, and director of photography. These roles taught me how ideas develop, how individual elements come together to strengthen an image, and how to guide someone toward a creative solution without taking away their own voice. That experience continues to shape the way I teach today. I don’t want to tell you what to photograph—I want to help you recognize what draws you to a scene and express it in a way that feels personal to you.
