The Destinations
This amazing adventure is set in the stunning Brazilian National Park, Lencois Maranhenses.
Lencois Maranhenses
Lencois Maranhenses is a little-known but vast dune field shaped by wind, ocean, and river currents. Composed of large, white, sweeping dunes, Lençóis Maranhenses looks like a desert, but it’s not. Lying just outside the Amazon Basin, the region has a regular rainy season at the beginning of the year. The rains cause a peculiar phenomenon: fresh water collects in the valleys between sand dunes and is prevented from percolating down by a layer of impermeable rock underneath the sand. The result is a vast network of blue, green, and black lagoons surrounded by white sands and bordered by a river and an ocean. Now imagine the magical transformations in color it will undergo during sunrise and sunset. We’ll explore these stunning dune fields and waterways extensively.
The Program
This is more than a photo tour; this is a workshop! This is a unique opportunity (for no more than 12 people, with a 1 to 6 participant/leader ratio) to visit one of the most amazing places on this planet, led by world-renowned photographers John Paul Caponigro and Seth Resnick. We’ll shoot in the most beautiful places at the best times. Most importantly, we’ll work closely with you to help you make the most of your personal adventure. We’ll help you energize your creative life and find new depth for your artistic vision. You’ll benefit tremendously from our guidance, advice, demonstrations, seminars, and reviews. Creativity, composition, exposure, workflow, and post-processing are just a few of the topics presented. You’ll learn a tremendous amount from us during one-on-one reviews and from the other participants during group reviews. Together, we’ll help you take your photography to the next level. It’s world-class locations, world-class photographers, and world-class guidance.
