The workshop is suitable for beginners, intermediate photographers and experienced enthusiasts.

You should have a basic familiarity with your camera, but you do not need to be comfortable with every setting. We will help you with exposure, focusing, composition and camera operation throughout the week.

More experienced photographers will receive guidance aimed at refining composition, visual storytelling, creative choices and personal style.

The workshop is limited to a maximum of ten photographers.

With two instructors, this allows us to divide the group when useful and provide individual guidance in the field.

Yes. Six nights of hotel accommodation are included in the photographer price.

Each photographer receives a private single room.

The planned base is Hotel Punta in Vodice or a comparable hotel. The final hotel will be confirmed before booking opens.

Yes.

Photographers travelling with a partner may share a double room. A separate partner price applies.

Contact us before booking so that we can confirm room and transport availability.

No. Participants arrange and pay for their own flights to and from Split Airport.

Yes. Group transfers between Split Airport and the hotel are included within the scheduled arrival and departure windows.

Transfers for participants arriving substantially earlier or later may need to be arranged and paid for separately.

Breakfast is included each morning.

Lunches and dinners are not included unless stated differently in the final booking information. We will normally eat together at local restaurants, but participants are free to make their own arrangements when the schedule allows.

Yes. All transportation required for the scheduled workshop programme is included.

We expect to use one or more comfortable vans or minibuses depending on the final group size.

The workshop has an easy-to-moderate physical level.

You should be comfortable walking for several hours during the day, with breaks. Historic Croatian towns often have cobbled streets, steps, slopes and uneven surfaces.

Krka and Plitvice include walking on paths and wooden walkways, which may be wet or slippery.

There are no demanding mountain hikes planned.

Yes, on selected days.

Not every day will begin at sunrise. We balance early starts and evening photography with breakfast, rest periods and later departures.

The final schedule will depend on weather and light.

We recommend:

• Mirrorless camera or DSLR

• Wide-angle or standard zoom lens

• Medium telephoto lens

• Sturdy tripod

• Spare batteries

• Battery charger

• Several memory cards

• Camera rain cover

• Comfortable camera bag

• Lens cleaning equipment

• Laptop or tablet for image review

A typical full-frame lens range of approximately 16–200mm will cover most situations. You do not need to own every focal length

Filters are optional but useful.

A neutral-density filter can help with long exposures at waterfalls and along the coast. A polarising filter may help control reflections and glare, although it should be used carefully with wide-angle lenses.

We will send more detailed equipment advice before the workshop.

Yes, we strongly recommend bringing a tripod.

We will use tripods for waterfalls, sunrise, sunset, blue hour and low-light photography.

A laptop or tablet is recommended but not essential.

We plan to hold one or more image reviews during the workshop. A laptop also allows you to back up and examine your photographs during the week.

The main emphasis is on photography in the field.

However, image reviews will include guidance on image selection and processing. We may demonstrate relevant Lightroom or Photoshop techniques when time permits.

Two online follow-up sessions after the workshop will provide additional opportunities to review photographs and discuss editing.

Spring weather along the Croatian coast can vary.

We may experience sunshine, clouds, wind or rain during the same week. Temperatures may be comfortable during the day but cooler in the early morning and evening.

Bring layers, a waterproof jacket, comfortable walking shoes and protection for your camera equipment.

We continue photographing unless conditions are unsafe.

Rain can create reflections, rich colours and atmospheric street scenes. We may adjust the programme, photograph sheltered locations or use the time for image review when necessary.

The locations represent our planned programme, but the exact order may change.

Weather, access, local events, traffic and photographic conditions may lead us to adjust the itinerary. Changes will be made to give the group the strongest possible photographic experience.

Drone photography is not a central part of this workshop.

Participants wishing to bring a drone are responsible for checking current Croatian and European regulations, registration requirements, insurance, local restrictions and national park rules.

Drone use must not delay the group or interfere with other participants.

Yes.

All participants must have travel insurance covering medical expenses, cancellations and the activities included in the workshop.

We also recommend separate insurance for cameras, lenses, computers and other valuable equipment.

Croatia uses the euro.

Cards are widely accepted, but carrying a small amount of cash can be useful for smaller cafés, markets and local purchases.

Most restaurants can accommodate common dietary requirements, but options may be more limited in small towns.

Please inform us about allergies or dietary needs when booking. Participants remain responsible for confirming ingredients directly with restaurants when medically necessary.

After paying the deposit, you will receive confirmation and further practical information.

Before the workshop, we will send:

• Travel and flight guidance

• Recommended equipment

• Clothing and packing advice

• Hotel information

• Payment schedule

• Arrival instructions

• Participant questionnaire

• Invitation to the private WhatsApp group

A deposit of USD 500 reserves your place.

The remaining balance is due according to the payment schedule shown in the booking terms.

The deposit and balance are subject to our published booking and cancellation terms.

Please read these carefully before reserving your place. We strongly recommend travel insurance that includes cancellation cover.

Absolutely.

You may send us a question or schedule a short video call before making your decision. We are happy to discuss the programme, physical requirements, equipment, travel arrangements or whether the workshop matches your expectations.
