Retreat Details
Arrive Friday afternoon and meet your fellow retreat participants over drinks and savoury snacks. Settle in to your cozy cabin or glamping tent and relax until it’s time for a hearty dinner in the CookHouse. After dinner participants will split into 2 groups. Group B will relax in the sauna or in their cabin, Group A proceeds to their first workshop.
Workshop #1A:
Night Photography Basics: planning, equipment, settings, and execution
Drift blissfully away to sleep in your cozy cabin, cocooned in luxurious 400 thread count organic cotton bedding. Saturday morning wakes you with birdsong and the gentle rustle of the breeze in the trees.
A delicious self-serve continental breakfast with fresh-brewed coffee and tea is laid out in the CookHouse for you to enjoy, and after that the morning group workshop begins.
Workshop #2:
Composition and Light
Return to the CookHouse for lunch and some free time until the next workshop.
Workshop #3:
Photography in Motion: Water, Wildlife, Wind
After spending the afternoon in motion, you’ll have an appetite for Saturday evening’s tasty dinner.
After dinner participants will again split into 2 groups. Group A will relax in the sauna or in their cabin. Group B will proceed to the next workshop.
Workshop #1B:
Night Photography Basics: planning, equipment, settings, and execution
After the workshop or sauna, continue conversations and enjoy the starry night by the firepit.
Sunday morning continues the relaxed mood, breakfast in the CookHouse on your own schedule and a final workshop.
Workshop #4:
Story Telling in Photography
Have lunch and say goodbye, or extend your retreat to a third night and put your new skills capturing creative images to good use in the local area or farther afield.
All workshop plan details are subject to weather conditions and may change at the last minute.
Participants should expect much of the workshop time to be outdoors and prepare accordingly.
