Frequently Asked Questions
Regardless of your experience, you will take home wonderful images. This workshop is built to suit professional and amateurs alike. Yet, if you already understand the basics of your camera – shooting modes, ISO and exposure compensation – you will benefit from a more efficient learning curve. The same goes for editing software - we strongly advise our participants to start exploring editing programs - we recommend Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop. We also offer 1:1 online coaching and tutorials - if you are interested in this option let us know.
Best equipment to bring is a DSRL camera and a 70-200mm lens or a mirrorless equivalent. If you have other lenses feel free to bring it with you as well. For correctly depicting horses we advise 100mm lenses or over. You will also need a computer with Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop installed for the editing masterclass and sessions.
The workshop starts on Monday, 21st March 2022 - a pickup transfer will pick you at Lisbon Airport at 10.00am and we will have the introduction class still in that morning, followed by a welcome lunch. The workshop ends on Friday, 25th March 2022 - the drop off will be at 5.00pm at Lisbon Airport. If you have an overseas flight, we recommend you arrive the day before - we can help you book the extra night in case you need assistance.

We start the workshop in the first day of Spring - this is one of the best seasons to visit Portugal - the hot summer has not started yet and you should expect a lot of sun and temperatures should go from 12ºC (53F) at night up to 30ºC (86F) during the sunny days. You should always keep in mind that as we cannot predict the meteorology, so we will photograph and follow the workshop plan according to the weather conditions.
