Program

Sample content:

• Basic Composition.

• Work with the exposure triangle and various techniques such as ICM and shutter speeds

We also focus on: 

• Panoramic Photography

Throughout the day, we’ll hold short mini-seminars on various fundamental topics such as camera techniques, visual language, and composition, and I’ll also challenge you with different exercises to help you develop your skills to the fullest.

We’ll meet in Grisslehamn at 9:15 a.m. (Carpooling from Uppsala is available, space permitting). The workshop will end between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m., depending on the weather and season. Once we arrive around 9:30 a.m., we’ll be at Skatholmen, which has a very beautiful, rocky coastline. Around 11:30 a.m., we’ll head back to Grisslehamn for lunch. Around 1:15 p.m., we’ll then return to Skatholmen to enjoy what we hope will be magical afternoon and evening light.

What others are saying!

“So far, I’ve been on two of Foto Magica’s photography trips—first, a full day on the coast in Grisslehamn, and then a fantastic trip to Romsdalen in Norway. Before these trips, I also took a course in Lightroom and Photoshop with Mattias.

On the photo trips, you have the opportunity to work independently while being surrounded by like-minded people, and you always have access to professional and educational help from Mattias whenever you need it.

I had absolutely no experience with landscape photography before joining the trips. But I learned a lot about photography, composition, and editing; I had a great time; and I’ve been inspired to want to learn even more. In about two weeks, I’m going on another photography trip with Foto Magica—a two-day fall workshop. I’m really looking forward to it.”
