Photographers go to workshops for a lot of different reasons. They are a fantastic chance to improve your existing skills and learn new ones. Many workshops are small group-based, so you have plenty of opportunities to interact with the instructor as well as your fellow learners. Spending time with like-minded individuals who seek to acquire improved skills is also a situation ripe for finding inspiration. Traveling to beautiful locations isn’t a bad deal either!
We’ve put together a list of incredible photography workshops that are the tops for 2016. Check out where you can go to learn from some of the best photography experts around!
Hawaii
What better location to learn the fundamentals of exposure, composition, macro photography, and panoramic photography than the garden island of Hawaii, Kauai? Waimea Canyon, Kilauea Lighthouse, numerous waterfalls, and, of course, Hawaii’s lush vegetation, are on the agenda for the land-based portion of the tour with RSL Workshops. Then, take to the seas for a dinner cruise along the Na Pali coast, where you can try your hand at photographing Kauai’s western coastline, as well as turtles, dolphins, and other sea life. Open to all levels of photography experience, this Hawaii photography workshop is sure to jumpstart your creativity and help you build essential skills!
Colorado
From ghost towns to mountain peaks, waterfalls to spectacular sunsets, Colorado is a photographer’s dream. Though the beauty of the state is stunning year-round, the fall is a particularly gorgeous time. The cool, autumn air, mountainsides ablaze with fall colors, and the first snows on the mountain peaks make for an ideal time to learn landscape photography skills. And, with little light pollution and clear skies, Colorado is the perfect spot to tackle astrophotography as well. Visit Colorado with RSL Workshops and have unforgettable field experiences photographing waterfalls, mountain passes near Aspen, sunsets, and star photography with your personal photography guide right there to help you along the way!
