Let’s get out of your comfort zone
If you want to catch a little fish, you can stay in the shallow water. But if you want to catch a big fish, you’ve got to go deeper. Deep down, the fishes are more powerful and purer.
Sometimes we need to be pushed into the unknown and out of our comfort zone to take amazing pictures. And Steve McCurry can give us that needed and gently creative kick. With his deep field passion and talent for absolute stunning portrait photography, we will learn how to catch whales.
Get out of your comfort zone and learn from the man who makes history every time he pulls the trigger, the one and only Steve McCurry.

That’s just amazing!
“What I will definitely remember from that workshop is the opportunity to learn a lot about how to get people look their best, whether this is a matter of light, or the situation we put them in. Under the leadership of Steve McCurry, getting to work together with the master, the landscape, the situation here, the people we met…. That’s just amazing!” |
