Go with a pro! Photo workshops in Egypt, Djibouti and Sudan
But it takes more. You would not have your car repaired by someone who only has a driving licence. You want a real mechanic with expert knowledge. You've bought an expensive camera, and you want to take perfect pictures and learn more about underwater photography. Take a trip to the perfect picture with Peter Verhoog!
He is an award-winning, professional photographer, who publishes in national and international books, newspapers and magazines, a.o. National Geographic. Go with a pro! During six full days, you'll have full access to Peter's extensive knowledge. No question will remain unanswered.
Taking great pictures depends on the right shooting techniques, choosing the right angle, approaching subjects (it is convenient to know how to approach a shark or other species), en more skills. After that, you can develop your own specific style, to take pictures that 'stand out of the crowd'.
And know how to choose new equipment if you wish to.
A good instructor has to be a good photographer. And be experienced. Not only in photography and diving, but also in various circumstances (bad viz, currents etc.) and with many different subjects. A good instructor can also transfer this knowledge to others. Peter is a qualified instructor in underwater photography.
In every workshop, Peter shows clear sample shots and shows you how to get that perfect picture (macro, fish portraits, wide angle, model photography and special effects). You can ask everything you like, including questions about your own equipment and specific problems. If there should by any questions left after the workshop, you can always send a mail.
At the end of each workshop day, the results are evaluated, so you can avoid specific problems on the next diving day.
