- **Event Description**: Join Travis Howell in PhotoWilds - a small group backpacking, camping, &  photography experience in the Manistee National Forest.About this EventWelcome to PhotoWilds - Immersive small-group photography workshops in wild settings.Escape the noise. Shoot something real.Spend a night immersed in the shifting landscapes of the Nordhouse Dunes Wilderness Area—where forest meets sand, and the shoreline of Lake Michigan stretches endlessly into the horizon. While Nordhouse is a beloved destination for many, it still offers pockets of quiet beauty—and when the crowds thin, it can feel remarkably close to paradise.We’ll backpack into a secluded campsite just steps from the lake, leaving distractions behind. From there, we slow down—seeking out compositions in the dunes, watching light move across the landscape, and capturing a Lake Michigan sunset at its best.As night falls, we settle into camp—sharing stories, optional image reviews, and a quiet kind of connection that only happens outdoors.This isn’t a typical workshop.It’s a guided photography experience built around exploration, light, and presence. This experience is designed to help you slow down, explore intentionally, and connect more deeply with both nature and your photography. Care to join but not interested in camping and looking for something more leisurley? Sign up for a dayhiker ticket to get the experience without the commitment of staying overnight. Spend the day with fellow photographers on some of the best beaches and dunes Lake Michigan has to offer.Hope to see you there!-TravisWhat to Expect:Guided backpacking trip into the dunesThoughtful, hands-on photography instruction in the fieldSunset shoot along the Lake Michigan shorelineEmphasis on composition, light, and visual storytellingCampfire connections, & a rustic overnight camping experienceWho This Is For:Photographers of all skill levels who are comfortable carrying their gear and hiking into camp, and who are looking for a mix of adventure, creativity, and connection.Rustic camping means that there are no modern amenities, so be sure you are comfortable with that.
