My goal is for you to come away with great images which portray the beauty and unique nature of this truly beautiful Canadian wilderness. I will take you to all the locations I have identified as the most promising for rewarding photography and we will visit these only when the quality of light is most conducive for compelling images. Our small group size means that, as you photograph I will be able to give you dedicated in the field instruction on all aspects of photography, ranging from the technical to the creative. Although we will be spending as much time as possible in the field, it is important to balance this with an intense program of review sessions, lectures and processing sessions so that, as our workshop progresses, you have the opportunity to appraise the photographic progress you are making, and identify those areas which need more work. I will be putting much emphasis on the creative aspects of photography such as composition and developing a vision. Another area we will be focusing on is processing and developing a workflow, which forms a very  important part of photography.

Topics to be covered:

Getting the technicals right to capture the full beauty of light interacting with the landscape:

1. Exposure and exposure bracketing
2. Focus, depth of field and sharpness
3. Use of filters, especially the polarizer

Previsualisation and composition
Developing an artistic vision
The digital darkroom: Highly effective postprocessing skills

All of this and more while you have the opportunity to photograph among a sea of vibrant autumn colors in this Canadian national treasure during our Algonquin park photography tour!

Our Algonquin park photography tour includes:

Intensive hands on photography instruction, class room presentations, review sessions and processing sessions.

Not included:

• Accommodation
• Food and beverages.
• Transport and entry fees.

• Really the workshop was even better than I could have hoped. Not just the great weather and surroundings and the choice spots you picked but your low key but still rigorous approach. I learned a ton! You struck the right balance between a variety of hands on work in the field, a great mixture of techniques and sharing your wealth of very practical and useful knowledge. Most of all I appreciated the shear joy you take in photography, it was totally infectious! Don’t ever lose that; it’ll take you (and those you teach) far. Marina Klein 

• Far better than I could have imagined. I can’t wait until the next! Great instruction from Christoph – and a fantastic group!! Susan Sheen 

• I recently attended Christoph’s Algonquin Park workshop.  I am very much an amateur photographer and was worried this workshop might be too advanced for me, but Christoph reassured me that he welcomed all levels of experience and he was good on his word.  I learned a tremendous lot and had a tonne of fun doing it in an incredibly beautiful setting!  Christoph is an inspiring and empowering teacher who encouraged each of us to grow our potential!  I would encourage anyone who loves photography to go on one of his adventures.  Roberta Kay
• I want to express again how satisfied I was with the weekend. Great mix of practical field work and technical shop talk. You have a great style in both photography and teaching. Jim Sinkovic 

• I had a great time. Christoph is not only a great photographer, but he also knew exactly when to time the outing to make it right at the peak of the fall foliage. The nature was just amazing, and we took amazing shots. Can’t wait until his next event. Ziad Azzi
