First introduction to photography which will be one of the only purely theoretical parts of the trip, the rest being based on field experiences and practice. This course will establish the basis on which we will work during the trip. Known worldwide for coffee, we cannot go to Colombia without discovering the secrets of this popular beverage. We will visit this morning the charming farm next door to take beautiful authentic pictures. This afternoon we have a first approach of the indigenous culture of the Sierra Nevada with a private photo session with a Wiwa family. We will take the time to establish a private contact with them in this small village of 4 huts, and create unforgettable portraits. To end the day in beauty, we will return to the hotel’s viewpoint, for a photo session at sunset because in Mundo Nuevo it is an activity in itself, offering one of the most beautiful views of the entire region.

We would stay there much longer, but it is already time to leave the beautiful Mompox. Early departure for Cartagena. The “Pearl of the Caribbean” is justly famous, rich in culture, colorful houses & lively squares. Meal on the road in a small village of stage. Arrival in the middle of the afternoon, just the time for us to check-in and freshen-up before exploring Cartagena’ center. This will be largely free shooting,but Tristan will use his charm to cajole locals into impromptu models when he sees a particularly good possibility. You are encouraged to use your own charm as well! Travel photography isn’t photojournalism, and creative license is fair game indeed.

Today we will get up early to enjoy the beautiful historic center of Cartagena for a unique photo shoot. We will be lucky enough to have Cartagena all to ourselves, before the tourists arrive.

No limit in our creativity, we will be able to stroll in the streets with her and realize photos worthy of magazines. Once the shoot is over, accompanied by a local guide, we will continue our exploration and for more spontaneous photographs, as the city wakes up. Photo opportunities such as architecture, street photos, details on old doors, etc…
