Arriving in Marrakech and transferring to the Riad.
We start the day with a walk through the Medina and visit the fascinating Maison de la Photographie and the Medersa. In the afternoon we spend more time in the Medina and bazaars and start exploring local life with the camera.
In the morning we visit the Majorelle Garden – a feast of colours!. Here we take our time and can dive deeper into getting results in macro photography. In the evening we concentrate on night photography in the lively atmosphere of the square Jemaa el-Fna.
We drive to the Ourika Valley in the High Atlas foothills south of Marrakech. Here we spend the day in an authentic berber village, learn more about portrait photography and see the beautiful local Eco musee berbere plus have lunch with a family inside a village home.
Afternoon visit of the Palmeraie, the palm tree grove in the outskirts of Marrakesh . We’ll work on adopting a sensitive photographic approach to social realities and contrasts between the worlds of the poor and rich living in this area.
On our way to the seaside town of Essaouira, we will stop at an Argan cooperative. This is a social project for excluded women to give them a chance to work. We document the Argan oil and cosmetic production as well as the social background of the workers.
Free day for exploring at your own pace what Essaouira has to offer. Later we meet up for more theory on particular subjects around photography and the use of your camera.
Today we cross the High Atlas passing its 2.200m high mountain pass Tizi n´Tichka. At midday we will arrive at the famous Kasbah Ait Benhaddou which is set in a picturesque landscape. We use the wonderful afternoon light for our session “landscape, light and moods”.
