Come and join us for a remarkable travel photography learning experience in some of the most fascinating, fun, and intriguing locations in the world.
Come join us for four delightful days of creating captivating images, learning essential camera techniques, composition, long exposure photography, and the most important travel photography, and post-processing techniques.
It’s a hands-on travel photography workshop where you can work one-on-one with the instructors, get personalized feedback, and elevate your photography skills while enjoying wonderful meals, culinary treats, remarkable views, and making new friends. It’s the ultimate small-group workshop experience.
Check out the video (below) to see what a workshop, day-by-day, is really like (lots of BTS photos and videos).
This will be an extraordinary experience that will inspire, inform, and challenge you to try new techniques and new ways of thinking and creating image you never thought you’d capture.
A TYPICAL WORKSHOP DAY GOES LIKE THIS:
IT ALL STARTS THE NIGHT BEFORE…
The night before the workshop, we all get together for a delicious dinner (on us) in a charming casual restaurant where we’ll share a delicious meal, the wine will flow, and it gives us a chance for everybody to meet and make new friends. After dinner, I’ll share the details for our first morning’s dawn shoot on location, and we’ll do our best not to stay up too late after dinner. It hasn’t happened yet, but it’s always a goal. It’s a great way to kick off the workshop.
WE START OUR DAY WITH A DAWN SHOOT
We hop on our private motor coach and get to our location while the light is soft and beautiful, and the streets are quiet and empty. After our dawn shoot, we either head off to another shoot (if time and location allow) or we head back to the hotel for a yummy breakfast. Mmmmm. Breakfast.
AFTER BREAKFAST, WE’RE IN THE CLASSROOM
We start with lab time to work on the images you photographed at our dawn shoot that morning. We are there with you to answer your Lightroom and Photoshop editing questions one-on-one. We sit with you to cover anything you need help with, from sorting to sharpening, editing to adding finishing moves. After lab time, we do photo critiques from our morning shoot, and then we learn new travel photography and post-processing techniques until our lunch break around 1:00 PM.
AFTER LUNCH, WE TAKE A LONG AFTERNOON SIESTA
Since we’re going from dawn till dusk each day, after lunch, we take a long siesta each mid-day to have some downtime to catch up on sleep, explore, rest up, or do some shooting and shopping on your own.
AFTER THE SIESTA, WE’RE OFF TO OUR SUNSET SHOOTS
We end each day with a sunset shoot on location (transportation is provided if it’s not within easy walking distance from our hotel). After our sunset shoot, we wrap up the day, and you’re free to enjoy dinner, shopping, or just relax with a glass of wine.
That’s pretty much how it goes each day — lots of shooting, editing, laughing, sharing, learning, and lots of lunch. ;-)
By the end of the workshop, you’ll have learned a lot of new photography and post-processing techniques, made some new friends, and taken lots of beautiful images. It’s a lot of work, but at the same time, it’s a tremendous amount of fun and an experience you’ll never forget.

Vibrant Culture: The blend of modern life with rich cultural heritage where we can capture traditional markets (souks), festivals, and local customs, providing a glimpse into the life and culture of Dubai.
