Wedding Photography Workshop in Corsica, France (for either English or German speakers):

This workshop is tailored to photographers who are eager to build their portfolio in order to market towards destination weddings.

We are partnering up with a fellow photographer, Oleg Trushkov, to make this dream a reality in Corsica. The main focus will be on two photo sessions with two different couples. Moreover, we will have a couple of presentations where you get to ask your questions and get feedback on your work… and of course there will be yummy food and French wine.

• What? A 3-day photography workshop for wedding photographers in Corsica, France.
• When? from the 1st of October until the 3rd of October 2018 (more details will be given in May 2018). We recommend arriving on the 30th of September and leaving on the 4th of October.
• Where? The airport in Calvi is the closest to where we will be staying (either in a small hotel or holiday home, depending on the number of attendees). Or you have the option of flying in to the airport in Bastia (which is a bit further away).
