Explore Greece’s diverse faces whilst you refine your skills in photography alongside a top seasoned pro!
Learn how to best photograph the majestic scenery of Meteora alongside a top pro in an immersive 3-day photography tour. Meteora is a truly inspiring and sensational photography setting of overwhelming rock formations, and much more than merely capturing an exquisite landscape, it’ s a great chance to view and depict the pilgrimage to this holy place of Christians from all around the world.
In a friendly casual format, our photo tours offer in-depth, hands-on photography instruction, through a rich itinerary that draws the profile of each place.
The idea throughout your travel photography workshop is to have daily photo shoots that we can view and discuss at the end of the day. Each day we will take one or two tours around to visit designated sites and work on specified photo projects. Our aim is to cover as many areas of photography as possible, such as street, architecture, landscape, and portrait photography.
Although instructors will provide technical tips and tricks throughout the duration of your photography trip, the workshop will emphasize what makes images interesting rather than simply technically correct. Provisions will be made so that we may download and quick-view images daily. Instructors will be available to comment on your images individually. Furthermore, there will be two long group sessions -halfway and at the end of the photo workshop- to review the photos taken by all participants, to discuss them technically and aesthetically, and to explore post-processing options.
Upon registering, you will be contacted by the instructors via e-mail. You will be sent a short questionnaire and a multiple-choice test to establish your skill level as well as your photographic needs and wants. This will help instructors prepare for individual counselling.
We are happy to meet you and pick you up from your hotel in Athens. Your 4,3 hours photo trip to Meteora starts at 8.00 a.m. with a car that accommodates comfortably the respective number of passengers.
During the drive you’ll have the opportunity to discuss with the photographer your goals in photography and an array of questions, queries and answers will arise in preparation for the surprises that your photography tour will give you.
As soon as you settle in at the hotel, you will enjoy some local specialties in one of the traditional tavernas around. The local cuisine is an essential part of their tradition here with the ingredients flowing down from the natural beauty of the land. It’s a foodie’s feast.
Then the afternoon is all yours to capture the sublime scenery. A scenery composed of unique formations of giant suspended sand-rocks! Meteora’s rock pillars are topped with Byzantine monasteries that echo the nun chants creating an eerie atmosphere in their isolated and steep standing. Millions of opportunities for superb landscape photography as you capture the scenery from all possible perspectives from the bottom up to the top for a panoramic spectacle.
Each day will be followed by a critique and editing review led by your instructor through exchanging info of your shots over your photography assignments.
The second day of our photography tour will be divided between visiting the monasteries and some more selective shots of the landscape. You will focus on monasteries’ life – wherever you are allowed to– as evolved in time, mingling with pilgrims & travelers from all over the world and taking the opportunity for some intriguing photography compositions and themes. In the evening follows an overall review of your photography trip.
You depart early in the morning to get back to Athens. On your way back, you won’t miss the chance of some captivating shots of the fertile plains of Thessaly the allegedly Greece’s breadbasket.
