Join me on a unique opportunity to experience Nepal through the eyes of a photographer.

In partnership with Trek Nepal, I’ll be leading 2 Photography Workshops in 2012. The first will take place in lower Khumbu/Gokyo, and the other will focus only on the Gokyo region. Both workshops are in the Everest region.

This unforgettable journey is tailored for those who predominantly wish to go trekking but at the same time, improve their photography skills. This workshop is for beginner and intermediate level photographers, who are looking for a trek of moderate difficulty.

Daily photographic sessions will include group and one-on-one instruction as well as demonstrations and critiques of your work. Instead of formal lectures, our workshop will be focused on providing support in the field to develop your photographic technique and skills. Our small group size allows personalized attention, with the goal of developing your technique, composition, and storytelling skills.

The workshop focuses on capturing the story and experience of being in Nepal rather than a snapshot record of it. We’ll have loads of fun and laughs along the way.

Lower Khumbu and Gokyo Region
This workshop begins in the less travelled area of the Lower Khumbu in the Everest region. The area is known for its forests of rare and colourful flowers–an enchanting area of Nepal both rich in culture and spectacular vistas. The trek traverses lands inhabited by Sherpas, Newaris, Tibetan refugees and many others ethnic groups. In the Lower Khumbu, the trek passes through agricultural lands with a backdrop of snowy peaks. As we make our way higher into the mountainous terrain of Gokyo, we will be immersed in the culture of the high Himalaya.
