photographic workshops - 2-5 days

 

 

 

A lifestyle photography workshop is a 'hands on', practical and enjoyable way to improve your photographic skills, experience new places and make new friends. Each location selected has its own flavour and photographic strengths. Beginners learn technique and camera handling, composition, lighting.... serious amateurs will revel in the fantastic photographic opportunities. These workshops are for anyone!

For total flexibility, you can make your own travel plans. This gives you the freedom to stay with friends or a 5 star hotel, choose what to eat, and perhaps add on a workshop to other travel itineraries. In some workshops we may rent out a house or a villa and have a food kitty with the cost shared between the group. On others you look after your own accommodation food and logistics. Each day's program is specifically tailored to suit the weather and events like local festivals with enough flexibility to take advantage of any unexpected opportunities that may arise.  We also offer one of the best client to instructor ratios, with groups of no more than 10 people.  Plus, some workshops run concurrently, so why not capture the best of the world's most photographic places.
