About the Course

Travel photography is about much more than photographing famous landmarks.

It's about learning to see a destination — its architecture, people, landscapes, details, light and everyday moments — and bringing those elements together to create a visual story.

This workshop combines travel photography, composition and visual storytelling through practical exercises in Querétaro.

You'll learn how to approach a destination from different perspectives, photograph people and places respectfully, work with changing light and build a collection of images that feels connected rather than simply a collection of individual photographs.

What You'll Learn

By the end of the workshop, you'll be able to:

  • Find interesting photographs in familiar places

  • Photograph architecture and landscapes

  • Approach travel portraits with confidence and respect

The Final Project

Throughout the workshop, you'll create a small photographic story.

Your final series may focus on:

  • A neighborhood

  • A place

  • A cultural experience

  • A local event

  • A person

  • A day in the city

  • Architecture

  • Everyday life

The objective isn't to create technically perfect photographs.

It's to create a coherent collection of images that communicates a place, experience or story.
