Destination France: Creating Images That Resonate | Horses, Light & Storytelling in the French Countryside | October 1–4, 2026

Join me at La Motte Lubin, a private horse farm in France’s historic Sarthe region, for an intimate three-day photographic experience built around extraordinary horses, distinctive settings, beautiful light, and creative storytelling. This is about more than photographing beautiful horses in a beautiful place. It is about creating images that carry atmosphere, emotion, and meaning—images that resonate. Limited to 8 photographers.

DISCOVER THE EXPERIENCE

Destination, Spain: Andalusians, Passion, & Atmosphere April 4-10 2027

Spain is about presence. Power. And visual drama. This workshop focuses on the Andalusian horse, photographed in locations that echo the breed’s strength and elegance—historic courtyards, textured walls, dramatic light, and carefully selected environments that elevate the image beyond a standard portrait. We work on connecting horse, setting, and light into a single cohesive statement. You’ll see how small changes in angle, background, or timing completely alter the emotional weight of an image. This is where “seeing” becomes more important than shooting. Spain is also where we push people a bit—out of habits, out of comfort zones, and into more intentional image-making. The goal is not volume. The goal is images that feel deliberate and timeless.
