WHAT ARE THESE WORKSHOPS?

Get inspired, learn, create, and collaborate. While touring amazing destinations, enjoying the best food our locations have to offer and having a great time together. Take your photography to another level on our trips by going back to the fundamentals, learning new tips and tricks and collaborating together.

Our photo adventures are designed to not only to guide you to the most photogenic locations carefully planned for the best light, but also to aid you in mentally visualizing a scene before capturing the decisive moment. We intend to spark your creativity so that you not only go home with images to be proud of, but use your new found skills to improve and expand your photography in the future. 

Apart from the technical aspect of learning camera settings and capabilities, you will learn how to turn an ordinary image into an extraordinary image by learning our effective post production techniques. We will all collaborate together to help you create the images that will define your photography.

And this is all aside from the overall experience we want to share. The gathering of like-minded creators to have a great time together and inspire each other will be the most lasting memory. Each trip is ‘interest-specific,’ so we will learn more about the subjects we’re photographing and sample the best that our destinations have to offer. 

We attempt to handle all the important details from each workshop so that once you arrive at our destination’s closest airport, your only responsibility is to enjoy the ride.

Should your travel plans require anything different, we’re always available to discuss to work out arrangements and make your trip situation as easy as possible.

 

WHAT IS A TYPICAL WORKSHOP DAY LIKE?

A typical day could consist of an early morning/sunrise shoot followed by coffee/breakfast. Mid-day is usually reserved for rest, editing and experiences. Late afternoon and evening we focus again on the low-light sunset opportunities. And depending on your trip's interests and location, we will often venture out at night for some night photography. It’s a lot of shooting! We try to keep in mind that you are also on vacation so we try to maximize time socialize and have fun too. Your workshop’s itinerary will give you the specifics of each day.
