WOMEN IN PHOTOGRAPHY

Admina January 11, 2024

Women in Photography is a global leader in providing photography tours, retreats, and workshops.

Led by a dedicated team of Women in Photography mentors who share our philosophy of nurturing and cultivating YOUR photography passion, our retreats and tours offer a fully inclusive experience, covering all your meals, accommodation, and on-location transport.

Our programs are not only informative but also highly enjoyable and social, featuring interactive Lightroom & Photoshop sessions. Don’t worry if you don’t have Lightroom & Photoshop installed on your laptop – we have a loan laptop for you and will guide you through processing your photos on our equipment. With plenty of one-on-one time, we’ll help you master essential camera skills and move beyond auto mode.

During our retreats, we rise early and retire late, fully immersing ourselves in exploring the landscape to capture stunning images. We also dedicate time to creative editing and post-processing techniques during our photo-sharing sessions. Over dinner and a glass of wine, we exchange composition ideas and photography tips.

Our tours are adventurous, offering thrilling activities such as train excursions with open-air viewing platforms for photography, ATV rides, horse trekking, jet boat rides, and hikes to reach rugged and remote locations with awe-inspiring photography opportunities.

Photographers of all skill levels are welcome to join us, from beginners to hobbyists to serious enthusiasts.
