Introduction to Travel Photography (7 hours)

Do you want to get out of the tourist snapshot syndrome? In a few hours, this workshop will give you the necessary tools to drastically improve the quality of your images.
First off, you’ll learn the basic principles of natural lighting and how to fully exploit it. The second part of the workshop will focus on important aspects of composition, mostly related to architecture, landscape and portrait photography. Finally, we’ll look at equipment preparation and necessities as well as various tips and tricks to keep your gear healthy. Roughly the last 2 hours of the workshop will be spent outside putting the day’s knowledge into practice (weather permitting) so don’t forget your camera!
