St Lucia Digital Photography Workshop

On a monthly basis I run an intensive digital photography course through the volunteer and travel organisation African Impact. The workshop starts on the first Tuesday of each month and runs through to the Thursday Evening. As of the beginning opf 2010 the workshop will take place every fourth week, rather than the first week of each month (see dates below).

The workshop is an intensive learning experience best suited to amateur photographers widhing to learn more about photography from the basics through to some advanced techniques.

The cost for the workshop is R4350 per person. This covers all tuition, park fees, accomodation and food for the duration of the workshop. Please contact me for more information and for availabilty on the workshops.
