Workshops & Trips
Photography and travel go hand-in-hand. But camera or not, I love trips that are special and off-the-beaten track. No big bus tours! Life is too short to shoot through the window as you drive by.
I love to be immersed in the location and really experience the culture. But you need a friend on the inside who can show you things only a local would know. And that way your photographs can be as unique as your “insider” experiences.
On our trips, we cover photography techniques and tips each day. We have specific time set aside for formal presentations and photo reviews. We‘ve had travelers who have been shooting for 30 years and travelers who purchased their camera two weeks before the trip. So we design the photography topics in a way that challenges photographers of all levels. And since we’re traveling together, there’s time enough to work individually with each person’s specific interests.
I also encourage people to travel with their partner/friend who might not be a “photographer”. These places hold treasures whether you choose to photograph them or simply enjoy just being there. Plus, there is so much more than photography to involve you –markets, wines, sightseeing, hikes, shopping, dining… that everyone seems to find more than enough to feed their interests.
I really love experiencing these places in such a meaningful way. We laugh, we drink, we eat, and we have a really great time. We come home with amazing photos and new friendships, after being immersed in a wonderfully personal experience.
Our next trip is May 15-21, 2012 to Provence and Paris, France. Other dates are also available later this year.
"AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME! Immense thanks...to Anthony for taking the time to teach us. Anthony was very patient with all of our questions. He explained exposure in a way that was simple to understand. I came away feeling like I have a much better understanding of the basics of exposure and I'm excited to put what I learned into practice. I really hope we do more of these." - Michelle, workshop participant

Provence in Fall
October 18-23rd 2012
Registration is Now Open
We have designed and planned a very special photo and wine trip to the south of France. The Luberon Region of Provence is one of the most sought after destintations and one of the most beautiful places to explore. Here you will find roman bridges and roads, perched medieval villages, farms with world-renowned produce and some of the best wines in the world. The landscapes and vistas should not be missed.
Photographers of all levels have raved about the experience. And their companions have been happy to spend a vacation together where both can truly enjoy themselves.
