What methodology is used in this workshop?
This is a very practical hands-on workshop. This is not a theory course. We concentrate on location photography, where you can fast track your previous classroom or self taught theory. Being out on location is a superb way to learn and enhance your photographic skills. Participants will travel through some of the most beautiful countryside in Europe with each student team gaining practical expertise in documenting images. We make the most of the light with groups working out in the field. The workshops often coincides with a particular event or festival, such as Holy Week, the May Patio Festival or the olive harvest, these events are ideal for photographic reportage assignment experience. The instructor has many years experience working in the south of Spain and takes the group off the beaten track to spectacular view points and special photographic locations.
