Camargue Intensive 2028
Five days with the birds of the wetlands and the horses of the Camargue.
Ten dates between 27 April and 7 July 2028. More hides than before, more possibilities in the field, and limited places, led by me from the first hide to the last horse shoot.

- you can manage basic fitness and balance for the floating hides
- you want limited places and one person who leads it

- you want a beginner's course in camera basics
- you cannot stand in shallow water with waders
What you photograph
Three ways to work in five days
Horse shoots
Camargue horses on the beach, and stallions at sunrise on the beach. Two to three gardians guide the horses, and I help you with position, light and timing. Each shoot lasts about two hours, around 1.5 hours of the photo session.
Floating hides
Low-angle work at water level on shallow ponds. Waders are provided and a short safety briefing comes first. You need basic fitness and balance.
Fixed hides
Eye-level work from insulated, ventilated hides with one-way, non-reflective glass. Stay as long as you like: until 11 am at the latest in the morning, until after sunset in the evening. Bring a tripod and tripod head.

Questions about the Intensive
Can I come with a group?
Yes, on the dates above. Tell me how many photographers you are when you send the request.
What if I am unsure about my equipment or level?
Send me your camera and lens list with the request. I will tell you whether it fits, and what to change if not.
Is this a workshop with teaching?
Access and organisation come first. I help with position, light and timing where it matters.
