The Scenic South is all about...

Southern travel content from Chattanooga, Tennessee.

About Me

Hi, I’m Collin —

— the person behind The Scenic South, which began in March 2025 as a personal challenge to experience Southern travel, one scenic stop at a time.

Capturing the feeling of place

Content Creation & Visual Storytelling

Content creation and visual storytelling is at the heart of The Scenic South. Each image and video is designed to capture not just how a place looks, but how it feels to be there in that moment.

Where stays become content

Hotel, Cabin & Airbnb Stays

I partner with hotels, cabins, and AirBNB hosts to create visual content in exchange for stays.

Destination Partnerships

Tourism & Brand Partnerships

I partner with tourism boards and local organizations to highlight destinations. Each collaboration is focused on showcasing what makes a place worth visiting and sharing it in an authentic way.

God’s Love + Truth Seen in Nature

Ministry

This part of The Scenic South reflects my faith as a Christian content creator. I share Bible verses and moments of reflection inspired by nature and time spent outdoors. The goal is to encourage others to see God's presence through creation and everyday experiences across the South.

Scenic finds for everyday living

Amazon Storefront

I share curated affiliate links and video reviews of home, lifestyle and outdoor products. These recommendations help support The Scenic South through commission at no extra costs to you.

Help Ra escape poverty

Fundraising

I sponsor a 12-year old boy in the Philippines named Ra, through Compassion International. I actively fundraise through GoFundMe to help provide extra financial support and gifts for him and his family. The goal is to continue supporting him consistently to help improve his quality of life and help him escape poverty.

Scenic finds for everyday living

Shop The Scenic South

I run a print-on-demand online shop featuring Southern inspired clothing, accessories, and home goods. Each item is designed with an aesthetic, elevated Southern feel that reflects the brand. From candles and mugs to journals and apparel, everything is created to bring a cohesive lifestyle expression of The Scenic South.

Clothing

Thoughtfully designed apparel inspired by scenic backroads, small towns, and the timeless spirit of the South.

Accessories

Everyday essentials rooted in Southern charm, made for slow mornings, road trips, and life well traveled.

Home & Living

Curated pieces that bring the warmth, texture, and lived-in beauty of the Southern landscape into your home.

Hiking & Outdoor Exploration

Hiking and outdoor exploration focuses on the natural beauty across the South. From quiet trails to wide open overlooks, each experience captured through intentional visual storytelling that highlights what it feels like to be in these spaces. The goal is to inspire deeper connection with the outdoors and encourage exploration of the region's landscapes.

Built for Southern community

Community Feature #TheScenicSouth

The Scenic South is more than my content. It is a platform for anyone sharing moments across the South. I encourage others to use the hashtag so their stories can become part of a larger, collective view of the region. The goal is to build a shared space that highlights the beauty, people, and experiences of everyday life.

The story behind the storefront

Local Business Collaborations

I work with local businesses to tell the story behind what they do and why they do it. Through aesthetic, intentional content, I highlight their space, products, and people in a way that feels authentic and engaging. The goal is to help each business connect with its community and attract new audiences through visual storytelling.

Photography

I offer street, nature, landscape, and portrait photography across the South. My focus is honest storytelling through light moments and atmosphere. Each image is capture to reflect how a place or person truly feels not just how it looks.

Authentic creator partnerships

Content Creator Collaborations

I value collaborations with content creators of all sizes who share a passion for authentic storytelling. I'm based in the Chattanooga area and enjoy connecting with like minded creatives across the South. The focus is on building genuine relationships and creating meaningful content together.

Where food meets storytelling

Restaurant Features & Reviews

I feature and review restaurants ranging from small local mom and pop spots to national brands. I especially highlight minority owned and local businesses to help share their story and reach. Each feature focuses on the experience atmosphere and what makes the food worth memorizing.

On the Horizon

The Scenic South is a growing brand with a long-term vision that includes podcasts, series, and deeper collaborations. There is much more to come as the brand continues to expand. Thank you for being part of the journey and supporting what is being built.With gratitude,
Collin
