The Lively Workshop at Graylyn

The pursuit of a vibrant life begins with first giving yourself the permission to be bold, to create with enthusiasm, and foster the same mentality in those around you. As creatives, you can be inundated with an overwhelming amount of pressure to fit in, or to dilute your own creations for the sake of being like the rest of the crowd. The LIVELY Workshop seeks to encourage photographers to embrace vibrancy in their work, in front of the lens, and fearlessness behind it.

This wonderful workshop hosted by Perry Vaile Photography and Rebecca Rose Creative will be held at The Graylyn Estate from October 26-29. From our stone buildings, picturesque bridges, towering trees to the southern hospitality in our historic rooms and delicious catered meals, the experience of staying at Graylyn is only the beginning.

The Lively Workshop came about as a platform to champion vibrancy, spiritedness and overall liveliness in the wedding industry and world of find art photography. There is a need for the celebration of color and light in this field and its our hope that the Lively Workshop enables attendees to create with vivacity and boldness while finding their own unique voice as artists.
By covering a variety of beneficial topics such as shooting technique, embracing your vision, styling, branding, getting published, growing business, and the importance of the creative journey, we will also be producing two styled shoots to help you apply it all (including for use in your portfolio and in submitting for publishing), as well as an optional film intensive add on session on your final day.
