Details:
Caddo Lake is unlike anywhere else you’ll point a camera. A flooded cypress forest draped in Spanish moss, still black water, and light that shifts from soft and diffuse at dawn to high-contrast and dramatic by midday — it’s a technically challenging, visually rich environment that rewards photographers who know how to work a scene.

This retreat puts you in a kayak and gives you direct, independent access to the lake. No waiting on boats, no fixed vantage points — you move where the image is. Combined with structured instruction, daily image review, and a small group of 8, it’s designed to push your work forward in a setting that demands your full attention.
