Program

Day 1: Saturday 18 May

Arrival day in Tenerife, check-in from 16.00h at our accommodation. You arrive at this amazing island, and you will immediately feel the nice temperature! You can use a pick-up service from the airport to our accommodation. Likewise, you will be welcomed at our accommodation, and you can already settle in. We start as a group with a  welcome dinner and the program of the week will be shared.

Day 2: Sunday 19 May

Day 2 focuses on the basics of photography. The exposure triangle (aperture, ISO and shutter speed) will be explained by using photos as well to get a better understanding. After, we will actively work to not only understand the exposure triangle, but also apply it. You will mainly experiment a lot with these 3 elements so that you experience what influence each element has.

Day 3: Monday 20 May

On day 3 we will use our experiences from the exposure triangle, and we will experiment with portrait photography! How do you focus? Which composition do you choose and why? How do you ensure depth of field? What do you say to your model? How can you capture pure emotions? You get a good dose of assignments, very practical, to experience which effects you can create.

Day 4: Tuesday 21 May

On day 4 we will use our portrait skills at beautiful locations (in nature) with models that you will instruct. This is where everything you've learned so far comes together. Applying the exposure triangle with the continuously changing outdoor light. You will determine your own composition and instruct the model. We work with different settings, in which you are challenged!

Day 5: Wednesday 22 May

The nature and landscapes of Tenerife are beautiful. We take you to one of the most beautiful places on the island and start photographing the sunrise! After the sunrise, we continue to travel to other beautiful places and teach you how to create a strong composition and we practice how you can create a completely different effect with long exposure.
