Joanna’s partner Mike an artist/antique dealer will also be on hand to help. You will also be able to purchase props /antiques at Joanna’s home and shipping can be organised.
Between us all we will show you the area, introduce you to some of the wonderful local residents, further your photography skills and give you a creative experience you’ll never forget.
SHOOTING AT JOANNA’S
Have you wanted to walk into one of the places that Joanna has shot or discover her home and studio that she has built? Or play around with all the props in Joanna’s studio? Well this is the chance to do it! This is a wonderful opportunity to shoot Interiors and still life’s and learn the skills (and tricks of the trade) from Joanna & Tim. Remember the ‘Two Photographers’ Mantra. You’ll never be a better Food/Interiors/Landscape/Portrait photographer until you’re a better PHOTOGRAPHER! So join us to hone all your photographic skills to improve on your chosen field of photography… Basically you will not find a better location to shoot in and improve your work than here…
Why Two Photographers?
We will be working alongside you the whole time giving you ample opportunities to learn from our shooting techniques in all disciplines. Both of us agree that it is far better to show people how to achieve something rather than tell people what to do. You will be shooting WITH us all the way!
Interiors & Styling
Chez Joanna you can benefit from a treasure trove of props, equipment and backgrounds all of which will be at your disposal… Learn some useful tips about styling and composition from Tim and Joanna and up your confidence levels in this often misunderstood discipline.
Post-processing, portfolio reviews etc, etc…
Tim always says ‘You can never make a bad picture good by using post-production, but you can ALWAYS make a good picture better.’ Whether you shoot on a DSLR and use Lightroom or shoot on your mobile phone we will unlock some of the secrets of post-production and give you the confidence to make more of your images.
ABOUT THE ACCOMODATION
We are incredibly lucky to be staying in one of the most beautiful houses, just a stone’s throw away from the centre of Eygalières. The house is a haven of peace with glorious gardens and a swimming pool. A photographer’s dream and a wonderful place to stay and enjoy the delights of Provence and situated only two minutes down the road from Joanna’s home and studio.
ABOUT THE AREA
The Alpilles in Provence is a wonderful area surrounded by beautiful Provencal villages nestled around the mountains. With stunning olive groves, vineyards, charming villages and old traditions, Provence is a number one destination to visit. We will be discovering Provence through the eyes of Joanna, a place that she has called home for over 17 years. Eygalières is one of the most beautiful villages in the area and remains relatively untouched despite the ever growing population in Provence. The stunning light and colours of Provence has attracted many artists over the years and there is a reason for this. So why not come and join us and discover another side of Provence?
