From Swamps to The Smokies: Composition and Planning

Caleb McKenney

Tuesday, February 3, 2026

Caleb McKenney is a landscape photographer based in Nashville, TN. Photography has been a large part of his life since his childhood. Inspired by his grandfather, who began his photography journey as an army photographer, Caleb has spent his life learning the craft. He has a passion for exploring the endless beauty and variety of the natural world here at home and across the globe. From Tennessee to swamps to Iceland, Caleb works to bring his unique perspective to locations through the photographs he creates. During his presentation, Caleb will talk about the importance of planning in landscape photography. He will share his process for how a photograph comes together from the planning stage to the composition. We will look at how he intuitively composes his images in places that he has returned to time and time again.
