Description:

Capture the essence of two desert locations with the assistance of a professional photographer!

This 3-hour desert Photo Walk will take you to the Al Qudra desert, followed by the Al Qudra lakes. Gain exposure to the colors, textures, flora, fauna and atmosphere of the desert as the sun rises or sets!

Exploring the area with your guide, you will be set some photo challenges, aimed at presenting a new way of seeing things. You will come home with a variety of images from your afternoon. At the end of the walk you will be invited to join a Facebook group set up for attendees of the Photo Walks where you can share and comment on each other's images in the group.

This workshop is suitable for all experience levels. Those who have taken the Photography Level 1 or Photography Level 2 workshops prior to attending will benefit most fully from this workshop, as you will be better equipped to inject your storytelling with creative photography techniques.

Agenda:

  • You will meet the instructors at the meeting point, then drive in your own car to the shooting locations in a convoy with the rest of the group.
  • Please pack light and bring all of your belongings and gear in one small camera bag. Large camera bags and lots of gear will be inconvenient as you are constantly moving.
  • The desert location is weather-dependent. If the wind is over 20km/hour or too blustery on arrival at the meeting point, a more shaded spot in the Al Qudra lakes will be substituted as an alternative.
  • Please note that photo walks are done on foot, so expect lots of walking.

About the Instructors:

She then went on to combine her two loves (photography and working with children) and established her very successful family photography business, dinkyheart photography, in 2011.When not shooting families, Lianne’s greatest photography passion is ‘epic landscapes’ and you will find her Instagram peppered with dreamily edited wide-open images of places in the UAE and abroad.

Natalie Robinson started off her photography journey with GPP as a Level 1 student in 2012 and has gone on from there to build a successful family photography business. Natalie is a qualified ‘Superfeel’ photographer and became a Clickin’ Moms ‘Click Pro’ in 2020.
