Photography experience

We want this tour to be about You & Your photographs.

Through Matjaz’s and Luka’s guidance, you’ll learn the secrets of the masters, take your photography skills to the next level and leave (y)our Tassili n’Ajjer adventure with a collection of magnificent photographs.

Photography skills you’ll learn throughout the tour include

• Composition, capturing The moment
• Post-processing tips and tricks
• The art of working with light
• Creatively working with your equipment and filters
• The unique techniques of landscape photography while also touching on aerial, black and white and night photography

Luka & Matjaz will also be there for you to offer one-on-one guidance on specific skills you’d personally like to master. The best way to learn the art of photography is by taking photos. Luka & Matjaz will be by your side sharing insight and guidance as you shoot; helping you create best-possible photos as you shoot. You’ll learn the art with the award-winning masters.

When we stay at our hotel in Djanet (primarily there), you’ll have the opportunity to process and enhance your images using the best-available editing software – thus helping you find your unique personal style as an artist. Yes, you should bring your laptop as well.
If you wish to enter competitions, critique sessions are an important part of the learning process. Matjaz & Luka will offer one-on-one sessions during the tour. Having your work criticized can be frustrating at first but this is the most powerful way to improve your photographic skills.
All levels are welcome. The tour is designed to cover all aspects of image capture and post processing. We can help you optimize your equipment as well.
