If you love incredible coastal locations and varied terrain, lighthouses and a great opportunity to enhance your photography skills, this is a perfect workshop. Great locations and insights in the field on how to compose images and process them. The croissants were a huge bonus. I recommend this workshop and would love to go again!
Below you will find our NORMANDY & BRITTANY PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP reports, covering all our Workshops there from 2021 and including our Alumni's Testimonials and photographs. Enjoy!
QUICK JUMP: NOVEMBER 2021
In early November 2021, after 8 years since we first started exploring and photographing these amazing regions of France, we went to Normandy & Brittany for our first Workshop there. This was a 8-day group Workshop with full attendance of three people. Two of them were Alumni returning for a Workshop with us, one for the fourth and the other for the fifth time, while the third participant was a gentleman joining us for the first time.
As always, I love working with returning Alumni, it makes it easier for me to fully customise the Workshop on their levels and requirements while allowing us to proceed along our photographic journey together. During our Normandy & Brittany Workshop, we also truly enjoyed meeting our new participant, an enthusiast photographer and nature lover, and a perfect gentleman. During these 8 days, we worked on some of Normandy & Brittany’s most beautiful seascapes, often dotted by man-made artefacts such as lighthouses, chapels and churches.
When the locations inspired us, we took the opportunity to explore a more photographically intimate approach to composition, focusing on simplification and on a more minimalist approach to landscape photography. During our Workshops, I always love to revisit locations, which I find a wonderful tutoring tool. In Normandy & Brittany we had a chance to revisit Etretat, Pontusval and Petit Minou twice, both at sunset and at sunrise. Working on a location with very different light and weather conditions is something I find really interesting and rewarding, and it was great to see how our Alumni approached differently, more confidently and deliberately, those locations they already photographed before.
Last but not least, the social aspect of the Workshop, something really important for me. During our Normandy & Brittany Workshop we really enjoyed seeing our Alumni again after the interval forced by the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as meeting our new participant. While not the smoothest Workshop of all, in Normandy & Brittany we managed to have a great time working in the field and during our lunches and dinners we enjoyed long conversations about photography, life, sociology and politics, for a very enjoyable Workshop!
One of the participants in our Normandy & Brittany 2021 Workshop kindly sent me a short testimonial together with a selection of images to share with you. See what they had to say about our Workshop together and enjoy their work in France!
