You will be met at Funchal airport on November 23rd (time TBC) and together we will transfer to our hotel. The journey should take around 20 minutes. Depending on our arrival time, we will meet later in the afternoon again for introductions and a programme brief before our first shoot followed by dinner. Our photography recommences the next morning with a sunrise shoot and runs through until sunset on the final day. On the final afternoon we will transfer back to the airport (time TBA).
We will visit a number of locations over the course of the workshop which will offer you numerous challenges and allow you to fully explore your creative potential.
There will also be time to review and critique your images and the opportunity to discuss them together as we look back on our photography.
The workshop has a relaxed format and is designed to be enjoyable as well as well as educational, so aside of improving your photography you can also enjoy the beautiful surroundings and most importantly have fun!
