Chefchaouen Photo Tour
Chefchaouen Photo Tour
Chefchaouen is famous for being known as the "blue city" and is located in the North of Morocco. This town offers great opportunities for stunning street photography. It is in this beautiful town that I am organising my next photo tour.
About this tour
During four days we will walk together through the streets of the Old Medina in Chefchaouen where we will be able to take photos of locals.
During these days I will teach you how to approach to locals people in order to be able to take street portraits and how to capture scenes of daily life without being perceived or disturbing people, since many times Moroccans are not very friendly with the cameras.
Who is this tour for?
The Chefchaouen photo tour is ideal for beginners, intermediate and professional Photographers.
If you are a beginner in photography, you will learn the basics of Exposure, using your camera in “manual mode” with Iso, shutter speed and aperture.
If you are a professional or have already experience in street photography, you already know how challenging it can be to approach people and photograph them, especially in a culture as conservative as Morocco. Although Moroccans in general are very loving people, they are not very comfortable with cameras. So during my Chefchaouen photo tour you will get to know a way to approach them.
