Camargue & Provence France Photo Tour /A Creative Adventure
June 24th- July 1st 2023/ 7 Nights, $6995
Or July 2nd- July 9th 2023/ 7 Nights, $6995
The centerpiece of this workshop will be six sessions photographing the beautiful Camargue horses mostly running in the water or on the beach. There is a wonderful natural bird park in Camargue where we will photograph flamingos and other birds. The flamingos fly in to feed each evening and we should have opportunities to capture images of them in flight. After our first four magical days we will explore several different and interesting locations and sites during the trip and will spend part of a day at the market in Arles. An evening shoot in Avignon to photograph the bridge and the magical blue sky should be exciting! In addition, the lavender fields should be at peak bloom during our stay. This is a wonderful opportunity to combine travel photography with stallions, birds, flowers, and lots more.
This tour will be led by Donna Bourdon
