The
South of France is drenched with character, probably due to its
turbulent history with the Romans, Phoenicians, Greeks and nomadic
tribes dating as far back as 300,000 BC. The rocky heights of the
Maritime Alps lie in tiers, tumbling down to the Riviera’s dramatic
coast. On its bluffs, perched villages keep a watchful eye on the
distant blue sea. Its rural architecture and colorful untamed beaches
almost beg to be photographed. They say, when it comes to Provence, be
prepared for a heart-and-soul seduction. This iconic wedge of glittering
coast is a mountain retreat, Roman temple and gastronomic art de vivre.
Traveling through Provence means sensual sauntering past scented
lavender fields and chestnut forests; through fresh apple-green
vineyards and silvery olive groves; around markets, Matisse-designed
chapels and medieval hilltop villages impossibly perched on rocky crags.
Provence is an old-fashioned love affair that never dies. Our adventure
will take you from Nice north into the Maritime Alps and south along
the coast through the untouched 16th century village of Eze, Saint Paul
de Vence, Cannes, and then up to Avignon, aUNESCO World Heritage site, Gordes, Sault and more.
This
adventure is designed not only to guide you to the most photogenic
locations carefully planned for the best light, but to aid you in
mentally visualizing a scene before capturing the decisive moment. Our
aim is to raise your awareness and spark your creativity so that you not
only go home with images to be proud of, but use your new found skills
to improve and expand your photographic technique in general. Apart from
the technical aspect of learning your camera settings and capabilities,
you will learn how to turn an ordinary image into an extraordinary
image by using your own creativity.
In
addition, you will become knowledgeable on how to survey the landscape,
utilize and approach your environment, photograph people indigenous to
the region and the cultural considerations and challenges of
photographing in a foreign country. Our time together will include
individual and group discussions, inspiring ideas and great fun. We
cannot think of a better location to express your creativity than the
magical region of Provence.
