About the workshop

A week that will
change how you see.

Croatia offers something rare — a country where extraordinary light, ancient architecture, dramatic coastlines and vibrant street life all exist within hours of each other. For a photographer, it's an almost overwhelming abundance of subject matter.

This workshop is designed to help you make the most of every single hour of it. Rob and Chris will be with you throughout — shooting alongside you, reviewing your work each evening, and helping you develop a genuine photographic eye rather than just a collection of holiday snaps.

Whether you're a keen amateur looking to take a serious step forward, or a working photographer wanting to push your creative range, this week will challenge and inspire you in equal measure.

02
Street & Documentary

Ancient walled cities, markets, and everyday Croatian life. How to photograph people and places with sensitivity and intention.
