OTHER STUFF TO KNOW
Tucked into winding, historic streets framed by natural foliage and centuries-old, moss-draped live oak trees, Beaufort is more than a hidden Lowcountry gem—it’s a transformative destination that has charmed visitors since 1512. The Lowcountry region had been subject to numerous European explorations and several aborted attempts at colonization before the British successfully founded the city in 1711. Beaufort, SC stands strong as a living landmark, handcrafted from the storied history of the south.

MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR
Mark Krancer moved to Jacksonville, Florida in 2014 and instantly fell in love with the beauty of the area, deeply appreciating the natural beauty of Northeast Florida, whether an inspiring sunrise on the St. John’s river, a dockside seascape, a romantic nightscape, or a moving train.
During 2017’s Hurricane Irma he shot what many consider to be the most iconic photo of Northeast Florida’s devastation, now known as “Life In The River”, later donating a portion of the sales proceeds from this stunning photograph rebuild the city’s beloved World War I tribute, Memorial Park.
Winner of Jacksonville Times Union “Best Photographer” 2018 and the Cultural Council of Greater Jacksonville’s 2020 “The Art Of Giving” award for his philanthropic endeavors, his works are frequently exhibited throughout the region, including the Jacksonville International Airport. He is a frequent instructor of Outpost Academy workshops. For more information on Mark, visit www.kramkranphoto.com
