Workshop Schedule
We will meet at Brest Airport on the morning of the arrival date. From there we will head immediately to our exclusive accommodation in the heart of Brittany with our comfortable cars that will bring us into our paradise on earth.
From arrival to the day of departure, we will chase the light of sunrises and sunsets in front of the most beautiful Lighthouses of Brittany, like Petit Minou, St. Mathieu and Kermorvan.
Between sunrise and sunset, theory, post-production and relax in great company!
Every day we’ll define the best shooting location according to the weather and you’ll be an active part of this planning process in order to let you develop not only your photographic skills but also location management, an essential skill for a landscape photographer.
The small size of the group will let you have the possibility to discuss during your shooting with the teachers at every moment in order to maximize the learning experience.
On the last day, after the sunrise, we’ll head back to Brest where we’ll arrive in the late morning. For this reason, the return flight should be planned from the afternoon of Sunday the 11th.

Additional informations
Covid19 is something we can’t ignore. For this reason, for this workshop, we’re going to implement all the actions to minimize any risk of possible contagion.
However, something out of our control may happen, like government local restrictions or complete lockdowns. That’s why for this workshop we’re going to apply special refund policies in order to minimize your risk and potential economical loss.
Right now, we can expect 4 Covid19 scenarios:
- No Covid19 impact
- Government restrictions in France (Brittany)
- Government lockdown in your country
- Government lockdown in Italy (our country)
Scenario 1: No Covid19 impact
This is the expected case. In case of your cancelation is not due to Covid19, standard cancellation policies apply (please refer to “Cancellation Policies” section).
Scenario 2: Government restrictions in France (Lofoten)
If Government restrictions will be set in the destination country (like complete lockdown or 14 days quarantine after arrival also for Full Vaccination/Green Pass holders), we have to cancel the workshop.
If this happens before you paid the final balance, you will be refunded with your deposit minus the quota of the fixed expenses that we can’t get back (example: car rental, hotel). Evidence of this will be given.
If this happens after you pay the final balance, you will be refunded with the full amount of the workshop (deposit + balance) minus the quota of the fixed expenses that we can’t get back (example: car rental, hotel). Evidence of this will be given.
However, in the case of a country lockdown, we expect we can get a full refund, so you too.
Full Vaccination/Green Pass requirement from France is considered a “No Covin19 impact” scenario.
Scenario 3: Government lockdown in your country
In this case, the workshop will be confirmed, but we will do everything we can to let you get your money back.
If the lockdown happens before you paid the final balance, you will be refunded with your deposit minus the quota of the fixed expenses that we can’t get back (example: car rental, hotel). Evidence of this will be given.
If this happens after you pay the final balance, you will be refunded with the full amount of the workshop (deposit + balance) minus the quota of the fixed expenses that we can’t get back (example: car rental, hotel). Evidence of this will be given.
Full Vaccination/Green Pass requirement from your country to travel is considered a “No Covin19 impact” scenario.
Scenario 4: Government lockdown in Italy (our country)
In this case, you can travel to Lofoten but your tutors can’t. For this reason, the workshop will be canceled.
If this happens you will get a full refund of what you paid to us for this workshop.
For this any other scenario, we strongly suggest you take into consideration the subscription of a Travel Insurance.
The accommodation is included as twin rooms in an exclusive Villa surrounded by nature and in front of the sea. This will let us not only to be in the real heart of Brittany for all our shooting activities, but it will let us enjoy our relaxing time surrounded by traditions and charm. Look at the pictures above to have an idea! Single room occupation is possible with supplement and subject to availability.
No particular physical preparation is required. Just short walks and a couple of fences to be jumped are waiting for us 🙂 If you have any limitation or doubt just ask so we can explain you better every detail!

The Workshop is deliberately planned in a season with a significant meteorological instability to have a greater possibility of having interesting light conditions. Unfortunately we can not control the weather, but we can adapt to it. In case of heavy rain, the course will be held in any case giving more emphasis to the post-production and class theory.
