Photographing the sunset
Programme
During this 6-day workshop it will be photography from morning till evening. We combine daily sessions on technique and composition with practice on great outdoor locations. After the daily outdoor photo shoots we view and discuss the results together and in a constructive manner. Editing and presentation is also part of the programme. We end each day with a joint dinner in one of the Xirokambi restaurants.

Learning from each other, while enjoying Greece in winter is key in this workshop. And of course we celebrate Christmas together in Greek style.

Outdoor photo shoots
  • Xirokambi - Local Christmas happenings & walk through the olive and orange groves during the harvest
  • Agios Vasilios Hill - Sunset above the snowy peaks of the Taygetos mountains
  • Mani - Day tour to one of the most fascinating areas in Greece, with its impressive landscape and villages dominated by tower houses
  • Mystras - Churches and ruins from the heydays of the late Byzantine Empire (13th century AD)
  • Monastery of Golas - 17th century monastery with close views of the peak of the Taygetos

In each location, we take ample time to photograph.
