Puerto Vallarta’s picturesque whitewashed homes, red tile roofs, ever-blooming bougainvillea, tropical sky, magical light and dramatic colors combine with the diverse culture of Mexico to create an ideal location for photographers.
This 6-day retreat, presented by accomplished photographer Julien Leveau for photographers of all levels, is an in-depth focus on photography techniques and philosophy. During the retreat, Julien will share his knowledge, techniques and secrets of observing and managing natural light. Participants will be given instruction on the proper choice of camera equipment and materials with a concentration on utilization and post-production methods.
In this retreat, you will have the opportunity to photograph the spectacular tropical sunsets, impressive mountain, jungle and ocean landscapes and activities of Mexico’s smiling locals and families in real-life, day-to-day situations. Inspirational excursions will be made to downtown Puerto Vallarta and nearby attractions, where participants will be given the opportunity to experiment with various techniques to further develop their individual photography style.
After each excursion, the group will return to HACIENDA MOSAICO to analyze the images taken that day and learn more about the treatment of RAW files utilizing Photoshop applications.
Outings include visits to Downtown and Old Vallarta, Marina Vallarta, a special day trip to a nearby pueblo (depending on group decision) and a whale watching excursion!
This workshop is designed for photographers of all levels who wish to develop the spontaneity, confidence and skills necessary to create unique, quality photographs.
All participants must bring a digital SLR camera, laptop computer and software for organizing and presenting images (preferably Photoshop). |
