Bonjour, mesdames and messieurs.
I would like to invite you in one of my workshop next year.
Starting off in Los Angeles, California.
You know I did a book about Los Angeles,
so it took me four years so I know some really cool places.
The first day, I'm going to take you to the Griffith Park,
where we have this amazing view of downtown Los Angeles,
but with all the wideness of the Griffith Park
as a foreground element.
It's one of my favorite places to shoot in Los Angeles.
The idea of the workshop is that
we shoot the photos together,
I show you the different settings
to capture the sunset to get the best.
I'm sitting next to you.
And then the next day, we'll go into a nice conference room
and we'll retouch the photo together.
So day one we go to the Griffith Park,
day two we are going to go to Venice Beach.
First the canals with amazing reflections,
and then we're gonna do the sunset
on one of my favorite California beach, Venice Beach.
The next day, we are gonna explore Downtown Los Angeles.
First of all, we're gonna retouch
the photos we took together yesterday in Venice Beach,
and so you're taking the photos,
you're retouching the photo,
but I'm behind you making sure you got it right.
Then, we are gonna explore Downtown.
Downtown is an amazing opportunity for photography.
Everywhere you look you have interesting architecture,
and at the end we'll do some really
long trail light exposure of the highways in Los Angeles
for very fantastic photos.
The last day, we're gonna go to El Matador Beach,
my favorite beach in Malibu.
It's a beach that's been used for movies
over and over again.
It's got lots of rocks.
Amazing foreground elements to play around
and get great landscape.
In this four-days workshop, I can guarantee you
that your level of photography, composition,
capturing the light, the right light
with the right settings,
and your ability to retouch your photo is gonna explode.
I've had people who learn more in four days than in years.
So, come and join me in Los Angeles.
Next, we have my Tuscany - Florence workshop
that's starting the first week of May.
First of all, we're gonna spend the first day
exploring the Duomo, one of the nicest church in Europe.
It's unbelievable, we're gonna take amazing photos
of Duomo church, then we're gonna go
to the Ponte Vecchio bridge and explore the river.
It's just, Florence is one of my favorite cities in Europe.
Same idea, we're gonna take the photos together,
we're gonna retouch them together the next day.
The next day we then go to the Michelangelo Plaza,
which is an overview of Florence and a great opportunity
to take awesome photos.
Then, we are going to go to Tuscany for two days.
Then we're gonna take a car
and go in the region of San Quirico dʼOrcia.
San Quirico dʼOrcia is where Gladiator
entrance scene was shot.
It is an amazing place for landscape photography.
We're gonna do first a sunset there, and then the sunrise.
There's so many opportunities there
and it's beautiful in May.
You've got the flowers, everything is lush and green.
It's going to be amazing.
The Tuscany workshops includes a very nice hotel
in Florence and in Tuscany.
So the price includes the breakfast
and includes a very nice hotel.
So, come with me to Italy for my Tuscany Florence workshop.
Then my next workshop is gonna be in Paris.
We're gonna stay in an amazing four-star hotel,
super well located close to Notre Dame.
One of the best locations in the town.
The first day we're gonna explore the Louvre,
we're gonna explore the Pont des Arts,
we're gonna explore the point
of some of my favorite spots in Paris.
The next day, we're gonna be retouching
all the photos we shot the first day.
Then, we start exploring the Invalides,
the Alexandre III bridge, and the Eiffel Tower.
We're gonna do a lot of Eiffel Tower shot
from different angles.
The next day, we're going to the oldest
part of Paris, Montmartre.
Montmartre is on a hill.
It's got amazing stairs.
You got the Sacré-Coeur, you got small street
that looks like that are 500 or 800 years old.
It's just heaven for photographers.
And I know this place like my pocket.
I've been there for 40 years.
I'll show you small streets or locations
that are out of the tourists way.
The last day of course we will retouch
what we did in Montmartre,
and then we're gonna go around Notre Dame
and get amazing photos of Notre Dame.
In this four-days workshop in Paris,
I can guarantee you're gonna get
so many good photos that you'll be using for years.
So guys, come and join me in one of my workshops,
whether it's Los Angeles, Florence, Tuscany or Paris,
let's spend four days together and let's have fun.
So the Los Angeles workshop does not include hotels,
but the Florence, Italy and the Paris
includes a very nice hotel and breakfast.
The best is to come with your camera gear, a tripod,
like a 24-70 and a 16-35,
like a wide-angle
and a middle-angle.
You can bring ND filters if you have some.
Please coming with computer, preferably a Mac,
I'm a big Mac fan, with Lightroom, Photoshop installed
or Luminar and Aurora.
And I will explain to you how to use this softwares.
I can't wait to be with you on these workshop.
Come and join me, my friends.

I think probably getting up early in the morning.

- Just being around fellow photographers
that have a love of photography.
- Photography level has moved up.

Gainesville, Florida.

and I'm from Southern California
around the Los Angeles area.

- In everything you do,
the only thing important is passion.
And I think this man's got, first that passion
and he has also all the generosity
to transfer it to every student.
- This helped me as a photographer
by making me concentrate more on the photographs,
on the post-processing side,
as well as taking the time to take the photographs.
- And as a photographer, these kind of things
gets you to another level.
- I definitely would recommend this to a friend.
