Workshops vs. Photo Tours
On a workshop we assume that you know nothing and we will start with the basics like how to expose and focus. Workshops usually involve more class time than shooting.
Saturday Bootcamp | Coming Soon
We offer a half-day beginner workshop in Cape Town every quarter that consists of 4 hours of presentations to introduce you the basics, followed by a sunset shoot.
Weekend Workshops | Coming Soon
We offer destination-based weekend workshops that include a lot of shooting as well as the core of our landscape photography curriculum. You will have to come with fully charged batteries, ready for an intense, but fun filled learning experience.
The School Course | Coming Soon
We prefer to offer the full curriculum over 4 days with only one shoot per day, so that you have the time and energy to absorb all the knowledge presented during the course. If you have the time, this is the right way to do it.
Workshops vs. Photo Tours
These are designed to be a rich learning and practice environment for intermediate- and advanced shooters.
On a photo tour our time and energy will be focused on shooting, exploring compositions and discussing the destination and images captured.
The guide will be there to help you with any questions you might have and will help you overcome the challenges you face with your photography.
You should have a decent amount of experience shooting landscapes and be 100% comfortable operating your camera in manual mode.
Capitalise on economy of scale by requesting one of our tours or workshops for your club. You can choose the dates, destinations, group size and we can even come to you.
The larger the group, the lower the price. Use the contact page to get in touch.
