In a recent photography podcast I listened to, a landscape photographer said she charges $4,000 per person to take people out into the wilderness where they go for days without seeing another photographer.
Folks, I can tell you that you don’t have to spend that kind of money to be isolated. Get out onto the backroads of Southwestern Virginia. When I go on my photo journeys on the weekend, I go for hours without seeing anyone, much less a photographer. It amazes me how little traveled are the backroads of Virginia. The hiking trails are even less used.
Yes, there are spots that are fairly heavily used - I’m thinking Grayson Highlands Park and the Virginia Creeper Trail. You can find very remote spots with hardly any traffic without having to go to those areas, though.
