The Place

A 7 day photography trip in one of the most photogenic and legendary places in the world. The volcanic island of Santorini. Refine your skills in photography while exporing with your camera and capturing the remnants of of one of the largest volcanic events mankind witnessed.

The volcanic eruption in the 16th century BC devastated the Cycladic island of Santorini, shaped forever its rugged, crescent-shaped landscape and turned its face into one of the most awesome and recognizable nature wonders of the world: multicoloured cliffs soar out of a sea-drowned caldera, topped by drifts of whitewashed house.

The whitewashed, cubiform houses comprise a string of villages clinged to the 800 foot cliff, itself a palette of ash grey and burnt sienna, rising almost vertically from the wine-dark water of the caldera. They overlook the sea, two small islands to the west, which are the other two crater islands and beaches made up of black, red and white lava pebbles. This is how Santorini justify its reputation for dazzling panoramas and sunsets and the most photographed locations in the world!

Apparently, Jules Verne was among those who drew inspiration from its almost extraterrestrial ambiance but also many scientists were itrigued about the island’s past and its connection to Biblical events and the legend of the lost Atlantis.

The Workshop

The idea throughout your photography travel workshop is to have daily photo shoots that we can view and discuss at the end of the day. Each day we will take one or two tours around the island to visit designated sites and work on specified photo projects. Our aim is to cover as many areas of photography as possible, such as archaeological, street, architectural, landscape and portrait photography.

Although instructor will provide technical tips and tricks throughout the duration of your photography holiday, the workshop will emphasize on what makes images interesting rather than simply technically correct. Provisions will be made so that we may download and quick-view images on a daily basis. Instructor will be available to comment on your images individually. Furthermore, there will be two long group sessions -halfway and at the end of the photo workshop, to review the photos taken by all participants, to discuss them technically and aesthetically, and to explore post-processing options.

Upon registering, you will be contacted by the instructors via e-mail. You will be sent a short questionnaire and a multiple choice test to establish your skill level as well as your photographic needs and wants. This will help instructor prepare for individual counselling.
