What you can expect on my photography tours?

PHOTOGRAPHY SESSIONS

We will explore the best photography locations. The trip is designed for photographers and in every aspect has been worked out to meet your expectations. You will experience morning and evening photo sessions in the best locations and viewpoints. The program will be adjusted to weather conditions to give you the best possible effects. We will cover topics like composition, exposure and light usage. You will learn shooting techniques including tricks used by professional photographers.

POST-PROCESSING CLASSES

During the workshop we are going to have post processing sessions.  You will learn:

  • basic and advanced digital processing (Lightroom & Photoshop)
  • practical application of photographic filters and other landscape photography techniques
  • discussion on photos taken during the workshops and your portfolio
  • my unique workflow of B&W digital processing in LR

ACCOMMODATION

You will be accommodated in comfortable single room. Each room is equipped with a private bathroom.

Breakfast is included in the workshop price.

MEETING POINT

Our meeting point is Kraków.

TRANSPORT

Local transport is organized using my and participants’ cars. We usually use 2 or 3 cars for a group of 6 participants. Participants receive their e-mail addresses before the workshop and can choose to rent a car together to share the costs. The reason for not including transportation is that it would add extra cost to the workshop. Most participants would likely combine a workshop with a longer stay in Poland. If you do not drive a car and you do not feel comfortable with this way of traveling, write to me – we will find a solution.
