Описание

Explore Greece’s diverse faces whilst you refine your skills in photography alongside a top pro of photography. Experience the culture, the nature, the landscapes, the culinary scene and the authentic Greek way of living of various destinations, through an immersive multiday photography workshop trip. The idea throughout a photography workshop trip 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 places 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.
