A typical Day

You will be picked up from your accommodation in Marrakech for a short 35 km drive to the farm in the Atlas Mountains where you will be met by the owner, Delphine, a French professional portrait photographer.
Over mint tea and traditional pastries, Delphine will introduce you to the different portraiture techniques such as composition, use of natural light, shutter speed control etc. She will also discuss the work of some well-known portrait photographers.
The first portrait shoot takes place in her natural light studio situated in a traditional Moroccan building, with local Berbers in traditional clothing, coming from the surrounding villages.
You can then either visit the vegetable garden to harvest seasonal vegetables and style the fresh organic produce for still life shots or participate in an optional Moroccan Cookery Course. A chance for some reportage photography of the preparation of a typical Moroccan tagine and photography of the prepared food before sitting down to eat lunch.
After lunch, you can either take a short break or start uploading and editing photos before your next portrait session, this time outside using the soft, afternoon light.
The afternoon finishes with a post-production session with Delphine, who will demonstrate the use of Photoshop to select and edit your photos and project the best for discussion and critique.
OPTION: It is possible to add a sunset walk on the volcanic dunes, to photograph the beautiful, yellow, grey and violet colours followed by a candlelit aperitif with home made bread, sun dried tomatoes and pesto, on your return to the farm.
