β Spring photography
2-5 April 2010




Greece is beautiful in spring. Flowers spread like a sea along the road, in the fields, below the olive trees and between ancient excavations. Moreover, spring is the season during which Greeks celebrate their most important Orthodox feast: Easter.

Programme
The workshop takes place during Greek Easter. Church services, late-evening processions and celebrations of the breaking of the fast are special occasions, both to experience and to photograph. It will be photography from morning till evening. In between  shoots, photos are viewed and discussed together and in a constructive manner. Learning from each other, while enjoying Greek Easter, is key in this workshop.

We organize photo shoots in the following locations and at Easter celebrations:
  • Ancient Sparta
  • Market in modern Sparta
  • Byzantine Mystras
  • Anakolou gorge
  • Olive groves
  • Evening Processions on Easter Friday and Saturday

In each location, we will take ample time to photograph.

On Easter Sunday, we roast a lamb on the spit for a joint Easter Supper. Those who love Greek food and cooking are welcome to help in preparing the lamb and the (vegetable) side dishes.
