They will provide you with as much, or as little, coaching as you desire. The daily feedback sessions will include all participants and the feedback, like the teaching, is constructive, instructive and inspiring. It’s all about the fun of learning by doing.
Participants will learn techniques of photographing all the above subject matter including vast and intimate landscapes tailored to their individual level of experience.
