Sand & Salt

While the horses are the main draw to the area, our workshop location is home to over 300 species of shore birds, wading birds, waterfowl, and raptors. This is due to the fact that more than half of the island's 48,000 acres are near-shore and estuarine waters. These salt marshes, dunes, beaches and maritime pine forests provide a diversity that is able to sustain many different types of life.

Whether you enjoy photographing wild flowers, blooming cactus, rolling dunes, lush marshes, sunsets, egrets or the many hued wild horses, this trip is sure to please. Your portfolio will never be the same!

Torva Terra offers multiple options for wild horse workshops: full day, weekend and full week immersion tours. Regardless of which workshop you choose, the group size is kept small to maximize instruction time.

What is included: Hands on field instruction with award winning photographer Kate as she guides you through a tour of the barrier island’s flora and fauna.

What is not included: Travel expenses, transportation, lodging, meals, fees, etc.

What to bring: Camera, wide angle and telephoto lenses (macro if you wish), tripod, charged batteries, lots of memory cards, sunscreen, sturdy boots that can get wet/muddy, polarizing and GND filters are recommended if you plan to shoot landscapes, warm or cool clothes depending on the weather (layers are best), water and anything else that you might need when out in the field.

Participation in this Half Day Photowalk is an opportunity for individuals to engage with nature and photography in a unique and immersive way. However, it's important to note that all participation is at one's own risk.

While every effort is made to ensure the safety and well-being of participants, outdoor activities inherently involve certain risks. Factors such as uneven terrain, changing weather conditions, and wildlife encounters can present challenges during the photowalk.

Participants are responsible for their own safety and should exercise caution at all times. It's recommended to wear appropriate footwear and clothing for outdoor exploration, as well as to stay hydrated and nourished throughout the duration of the photowalk.

Additionally, participants should be mindful of their surroundings and adhere to any guidelines or instructions provided by the leaders or guides. This may include staying on designated trails, avoiding restricted areas, and respecting wildlife habitats.

By participating in the Half Day Photowalk, individuals acknowledge and accept the inherent risks associated with outdoor activities. While every effort is made to minimize these risks, participants are ultimately responsible for their own well-being and should exercise prudence and good judgment throughout the experience.
