Rockin’ The Kasbah Morocco Tour 2012

I am very pleased to announce that I  will be offering a new photographic adventure to Morocco in 2012. This will not be your run-of-the-mill tour that takes you from one bus stop to the other on the main touristic road. Rather, I have carefully designed this adventure to take the road less travelled and to show you some of the most amazing sights this country has to offer. This is not a fast-paced tour that puts quantity ahead of quality. I deliberately chose to reduce the number of places we visit to take our time, to give you ample opportunity to take in the atmosphere of the places we will be visiting. The adventure, The Rockin’ the Kasbah Tour, will take place from May 19-29, 2012 and will concentrate on the southern delights of the land from mountain to desert.

For more information, please head to the workshop and photographic adventure page here.

IF YOU REGISTER BEFORE JANUARY 5, 2012, YOU WILL RECEIVE A FREE 24X16″ PRINT OF YOUR CHOICE, A VALUE OF $195!

2012 Ottawa Workshops

(A new blog post follows this one)

In case you missed it on the twitter/FB/G+-sphere, I have announced my 2012 workshop lineup for the coming year. This year I have decided to offer a more sustained lineup throughout the year, with varied offerings to suit most. There are three series of workshops this year (other than my international workshops to be announced at the end of November):

  • Two winter photography workshops (February) to make the most of what the Ottawan winter has to offer.
  • Two workshops entitled “Seeing with new eyes”, where we will be working on abstract compositions in urban and natural settings (in April)
  • Throughout the year, several workshops to teach you how to blend exposures in photoshop.

For more information, please head to my workshop page.

Scouting Workshops

Thank you all very much for your interest. The scouting workshop series for 2012 is now full. See you all next year!

Here is an idea I have been mulling over for a little while and I thought I’d share it with you and see where it takes us from here.

Last year, I took a client of mine on what I call a “scouting workshop” to Morocco. A scouting workshop you say? The idea behind this is very simple. How would you feel about coming along with me, one on one, to a location of your choice on a discovery tour for a one to two week period. It’s not a tour per se since I won’t know the place ahead of time, but it is one of those rare chances to have your own photo instructor coming along on your trip to some exotic locale!

What would you get out of it?

- once we decide on a destination, I do all the research, the bookings, the organisation, all you need to do is show up;

- you get me for one on one 24/7 teaching/advice/consultation/critique. Any question. Any time. I am there to answer (ok, I do need to sleep a bit, but not much).

- a unique opportunity to see travel photography behind the scenes: how I approach my subjects, how I deal with logistics, I how I plan trips, etc, etc.

- flexibility to spend as little or as much time as you would like in given places: contrary to a group tour, this one is only about you and you alone.

- affordability, since this is not a tour per se, my workshop fee will be reduced accordingly. costs are then split 50/50.

How does this sound? Are you interested?

How does it work?

It’s very simple, I have a few destinations I am interested in, but am open to suggestions (See list below). You get in touch with me, we discuss the destination, the timing, the duration. I set it up for you. We go. That’s it.

Here are my destinations of choice (in no particular order):

Iceland | Argentina (patagonia) | China (guilin/huangshang) | Vietnam (Halong Bay) | Croatia | Greece | Turkey | Italy | Portugal | Romania

If you feel like kicking the tires on one of these places, just give me a holler, I am all ears.

Registration deadline extended

If you are still wondering what you could do with your time this coming November, I suggest you take a look at my photo tour page for some inspiration :) . If you still need some time to make your decision, I have just made your life a little easier and extended the registration deadline for my Morocco Photo Adventure until the end of this week (September 17), so come on in and join us for what will be a trip of a lifetime!
