Director's Circle Trip to Carmel

Join us for a Center for Creative Photography curated Carmel experience. Carmel, California has long been a popular destination among photographers because of its iconic landscapes and rich history. This trip will feature exclusive experiences at the private family homes of Ansel Adams and Edward Weston, discussions with gallerists and photographers while enjoying the charming sights and cuisine of Carmel-by-the-Sea. This trip also provides ample opportunities to photograph classic Carmel locations, such as Point Lobos and Carmel Mission Basilica.

This trip will take place August 2-4, 2019. We recommend arriving before the 2^nd and leaving after the 4^th, as we are planning a full three days of programming.
