Full Day Santorini Photo Workshop
One day, two Santorinis…
For most visitors to the island, there is one Santorini. That of rugged, volcanic landscape and whitewashed cubiform buildings that spill down cliffs overlooking red, black and white lava pebble beaches. For photographers, though, there are two Santorinis: the island in the morning and the island in the afternoon.
From the hazy early morning glow over Fira and Oia to the late afternoon sunlight illuminating the caldera, Santorini is the sun’s canvas. And you’ll be there to capture the artist’s work.
Explore Santorini’s greatest hits and hidden bits
This full-day Santorini photography workshop gives you the chance to photograph stunning landscapes and amazing architecture in changing light whilst experiencing parts of the island many tourists don’t see.
The workshop is split into two parts morning and afternoon
Morning session
We’ll start the day before sunrise in the north of Santorini amongst picturesque traditional settlements, where you can capture an authentic side of the island, as experienced by the locals. The north is also a place filled with hidden gems and spectacular views, which makes for great landscape photography and shots of rock formations not often captured on camera.
Afternoon session
After lunch and a break from the scorching midday sun (feel free to take a siesta), we’ll start up the afternoon session, heading south to explore off the beaten track. Here we’ll visit the narrow streets of Emporio in the foothills of Mount Prophet. En route, we’ll drive through the well-pruned vineyards – giving you a view of Santorini that you don’t see in travel brochures.
These routes and this format gives you the best of Santorini – stunning views and beautiful landscapes to capture the magic of the island on camera.
But this is your private workshop. Which means it’s flexible to your needs.
If you want to get shots of the sunrise, we can start earlier in the day. If there are amazing clouds passing over the north of the island and we’re busy exploring the south, we can jump in the car and head north. This workshop is about giving you a photography experience like no other. If there’s a chance to photograph something out of the ordinary, I’ll tailor the programme to suit.
