MAGIC SPIRIT & MYSTERY in the BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS
Asheville, North Carolina
with Laurie Klein & Douglas Beasley
April 22-26, 2024
(only one spot left!)
Spend an unforgettable week with both Laurie Klein and Douglas Beasley in and around the Asheville area of the legendary and ancient Blue Ridge Mountains.
Laurie and Doug have never met in person, yet are definitely kindred spirits. Students who have worked with one or the other of them separately have found in each a path from the profound to the ethereal. Their love for image-making, story-telling, and going deep within their craft while having a great time is exceptional. As educators, they both have the experience, wisdom and grace to enable students to delve deeply into their own creativity in order to find the stories and feelings needing expression in their photographs. Now you have the one-time opportunity to work with both Laurie and Doug together in a single workshop, held in the beautiful landscape of Asheville and the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains.
We are lucky to have the extraordinary model/photographer Nicole Cudzilo joining us as a model (along with others) as well as ‘spirit guide’ (ok I just made that up). She is a great example of someone living an artistic life. Her unique and beautiful work can be found on Instagram at nicole.cudzilo.
Some days we will be photographing landscapes in the mountains and by waterfalls, other days will be spent with models, or even in the back alleys of Ashville. There will be time to share student projects brought from home, review work-in-progress made during the workshop, and even have one-on-one time with Laurie & Doug together!
