Guided Photo Tours and Workshops
If you are looking for a professional mentor to accompany your tour or organize a group photography workshop, there is also the opportunity to participate in guided photo tours and individual or group workshops with the award-winning nature photographer and mountain hiker Szymon Bialic.
During these tours, you will learn the necessary techniques and philosophies to create exceptional and technically perfect landscape photos, including:
- Building an appealing composition
- Effective use of camera equipment
- Planning photo tours
- Observing and utilizing weather conditions
- Editing and publishing photos
It doesn't matter what kind of camera you have. The main goal of the tours is to use the available equipment consciously.
