PHOTOGRAPHY HOLIDAYS ON PAXOS

'AUTUMN PHOTOGRAPHY WEEK': 1 - 8 OCTOBER 2012

Our 'Autumn Photography Week' will be led by professional photographer Chris Gilbert, who has been exhibiting and selling his images, and teaching landscape photography for a number of years. It is suitable for photographers of any standard.

Tuition will consist of daily briefings backed up by plenty of
opportunities for field practice designed to advance your understanding of
your camera and develop your picture-taking skills. These will be supplemented by informal early evening discussions of the day’s work, when you will learn what can be achieved using picture editing software. Throughout the week there will also be plenty of opportunities for individual advice and time either to explore Paxos or simply relax. The atmosphere will be light-hearted and informal. This is, after all, a holiday.

The precise content of the course will to a certain extent be guided by the
needs of those taking part but we would expect the course to cover 

• How your camera works: the relationship between ISO, shutter speed, and the aperture. Using appropriate metering to gain the correct exposure.
• The importance of composition, along with some classic approaches.
• The importance of an artefact-based approach to digital imaging. How to get your pictures from your camera to your computer, from pixels to printing, and from pictures to presentation. This includes how to use digital imaging software to get the most from your pictures.
• How to use software to produce a simple and affective slide show with music of the images you have taken throughout the course.

Cost: The 'Autumn Photography Week' costs £595 per person, which includes tuition, accommodation in a shared twin room in a villa with private pool near Loggos, one of the three main villages on Paxos, return transfers between Corfu Airport and your accommodation on Paxos, local transport required in connection with the photography sessions, a large breakfast hamper, and welcome and farewell drinks. The supplement for sole use of a twin/double room is £125 and any optional activities such as Greek cookery, Greek dancing, boat trips and walks will also be at additional cost.

For full details of what is included in the cost and of the accommodation, please see 'Photography Holidays Further Information'.

Alternative accommodation and extending your holiday: If you already have your own accommodation, then it is usually possible just to join the group tuition sessions. We can also help you to find accommodation if you would like to stay somewhere other than our shared villas or would like to extend your holiday and spend a few additional days on Paxos or a few days on Corfu, either before or after the photography course. Please contact us to discuss the options. 

To Book: Please read our Booking Conditions and the Important Information section of this website and then complete and submit an On-Line Booking Form. Our photography holidays are open to people of all ages and abilities aged 18 or over. However, Paxos is a relatively hilly island and we therefore do not feel that they are suitable for anyone with walking difficulties.     

Second Holiday/Course Discount: We will give you a discount of £40 if you book any two holidays or courses in our current programme.

Group discounts: If you are a group of four or more who wish to book the 'Spring Photography Week', please contact us to see if we can offer you a discount.

Further Information: Do have a look round our website and, if you would like further information about any of our holidays and courses or about Paxos more generally, then please do not hesitate to Contact Us.
