Photo trips and Workshops, 2013

NB: We offer two new photo trips this year, the first in June in the Shetland islands, a truly fascinating place I happen to know very well, and another in the Dolomites, a spectacular place of the italian Alps that we will have all for ourselves in October, with gorgeous autumn colors !

I am now in professional photography (for ten years) but in another life (it seems) I have spent another ten years sharing my passion for french literature with students. Now I share what I have learned in the field of photography, a very different domain, but with the same enthusiasm as ever. A great photo to me is the result of precise technical knowledge serving a deep empathy towards natural places. I will help you the best I can in finding, building or refining your own style and vision.   

You don't have to be an experienced photographer to participate. The workshops are conducted in an informal, friendly group setting.

Wildlife Photography trips

In partnership with Spatia Wildlife, an agency with many years of experience, founded by  my friend Dobry Domuschiev, I will guide a few trips in Bulgaria in 2013

The first photo tour, Eagles and Pelicans, in February, is aimed at Golden Eagles, Goshawks and other birds from hides in the mountains of Bulgaria. Then, on the same tour, we have the option to go to Greece to find Pelicans in full breeding plumage and other birds near lake Kerkini (+ 3 days).

The second one, Bulgaria in Spring, at the beginning of June, concentrates on birds that are present in springtime in Bulgaria in great numbers: Hoopoes, Rollers, Bee-eaters, Wryneck and many more colourful and interesting species.

Locations: Bulgaria and Greece

Landscape and Travel Photography Trips

Rolling Hills of Tuscany is our first landscape trip of the year in May, and virtually closes the season too in October. This workshop gives you an opportunity to compete with Renaissance painters, in front of landscapes and medieval cities which have seen little changes since that time. You will visit Florence, Siena, San Gimignano, Pienza and many other cities and marvel at the landscapes of the Val d'Orcia Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.These photo workshops are designed to provide the best picture opportunities in a given region or country. My partner for these trips is the french travel agency Akaoka.

Landscape and Travel Photography Trips

Second trip in these series, Scotland: Highlands of the North-West (Assynt, Torridon, Skye); two photo trips are planned, in May and Sept-October, 2013.
These photo workshops are designed to provide the best picture opportunities in a given region or country. My partner for these trips is the french travel agency Akaoka Voyages, a renowned agency.
You will discover the very heart of the Scotland Highlands, a mountainous region of intense beauty and solitude, with unforgettable mountains (Stac Pollaidh, Suilven), and wild lakes, north and south of Ullapool. The program includes also the Isle of Skye, more visited of course, but unmissable. We will visit, at the best hours, incredibles places such as the Old man of Storr, the Quiraing, the Black Cuillin, Talisker Bay and much more.

Landscape and Travel Photography Trips

Iceland: Land of Extremes. Two photographic trips are planned in Iceland in 2013, in August and September. In August we will wander into the wild and desertic interior mainly for 12-13 days, while in September we will explore the south coast (Golden Circle, Jokulsarlon, Skaftafell, Vik, etc), with only one day in the interior (Landmannalaugar) (8 day trip). In September Iceland is already preparing itself for winter, colors are stunning, while snow is already possible. In 2012 our trip in September proved very productive, with unexpected cold conditions that brought fresh snow in the Landmannalaugar, a rare sight.
