About us...

Award winning photographers, Chris and Bonnie Allen escort you to beautiful locations in the Blue Ridge mountain region; and provide personalized instruction to help you make better photos. This photo class will help you slow down, connect more deeply with the natural world and learn how to build more feeling and impact into your photos.

Instruction includes basic to advanced camera technique, as well as best practices in composition, the use of light for dramatic effect, and slow shutter speeds for more magical images.

In addition to a personally rewarding and fun experience, you will come away with a host of new photography skills to advance the enjoyment of your photography passion both for yourself and others.

OUR FOCUS:

Activities / Experiences

SOCIAL IMPACT

We take steps to have a positive impact on our community.

We are active members of the Waterfall Keepers of Western NC. As consumers, we are also deeply committed to doing business with local farmers and other independently owned businesses in the Asheville area. We also have a home property where we grow much of our own vegetables and fruits, including sufficient quantities to share with neighbors and friends during good harvest times.
