About the  locations to be visited:

Located south of Granada, the Alpujarras region stands out for its rich Moorish legacy—evident in its beautiful, distinctive architecture, irrigation channels, and terraced fields—as well as its stunning, diverse landscapes and significant ethnographic heritage.

During this workshop, we will visit and photograph white villages, irrigation channels, and waterfalls set amidst towering peaks, beautiful hillsides, and deep ravines. The area boasts diverse vegetation, notably chestnut, poplar, and wild cherry trees, which are typically at the peak of their autumn splendor during this time of year.

It is a region of exceptional beauty that offers a wealth of opportunities for landscape photographers.

About the workshops:


The trips and workshops are organized by teachers with proven experience in landscape and night photography and are aimed at a wide audience; from those who are interested in knowing interesting places, the amateur photographer with a desire to learn or profile his/her knowledge to the professional, interested in expanding her/his photographic portfolio.
The workshops seek to familiarize participants with the different theoretical and practical aspects of landscape and night photography and prepare them for the different situations and possibilities on the locations. The photographic sessions are in this sense focused on learning and applying the concepts previously treated in the theoretical workshops. The photo sessions also allow the participants to know spectacular places from the natural, cultural and landscape point of view, and spend a pleasant stay in them, accompanied by expert photographers with good knowledge of the area who will be at the full disposal of the participants to answer any questions and facilitate appropriate advice.
The workshop or journey also includes viewings of the pictures taken by the students, in which the technical and aesthetic aspects of the images are commented with advice on how to improve in both aspects.
Although it is not required, it is recommended to participate with basic knowledge of photography to get more out of the trip.

Recommended (photographic) material:


Although it is not essential to attend, it is recommended to go with a digital camera to get more out of the workshops. As complementary materials we advise to bring a tripod, polarizing filters, gradient and neutral grey filters (of different densities), trigger cable, lens clean kit, batteries and charger, umbrella and rain cover (just in case) for the camera and front.
To move around the photographic locations it is essential to have good footwear, preferably hiking boots.
To get to the photographic locations some itineraries pass through unpaved roads, normally passable for cars in normal conditions and in some cases it would be necessary to do some hiking on foot so we recommend that the participants are accustomed to walking in the nature and that they have a minimum physical condition and agility, to be able to reach the locations and enjoy them.

Learning materials for the workshop.
Upon booking, you will receive a comprehensive landscape photography manual and a publication featuring images of the locations to facilitate learning and to inspire you before and during the trip.

How to get there?
The accommodation is located about 900 kilometers from Granada. When the date approaches we will send a more detailed description to get to the accommodation. To get to the places to portray some itineraries pass through unpaved roads at first passable for tourism in normal conditions and in some cases it would be necessary to make some journeys on foot so we recommend that participants are accustomed to walking through the natural environment. To move around the photographic locations it is essential to have good footwear, preferably (old) mountain boots.

The realization of the photographs depends largely on the weather at the locations.
 
Al Andalus Phototour reserves the right to modify schedules and routes in case circumstances require it (e.g. Rain, poor condition access roads) for the good of the participants and the photos to be taken.
