Workshop Schedule
We will meet at Brest Airport on the morning of Friday the 18th of October. 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 the 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 in every moment in order to maximize the learning experience.
The last day on field be Monday the 19th: after the sunrise, we’ll head back to Brest where we’ll arrive in late morning. For this reason, the return flight should be planned from the afternoon of Monday 21st.
