Workshop: Room to Dream in the South of France with Aline Smithson

Thursday June 4 – Monday June 8, 2020

Room to Dream will inspire all levels of photographers to not only capture the beauty of the South of France, but make work that is artful, personal, and filled with magic. Aline will lecture each morning, providing inspiration for new ways of seeing and creating work. Easy assignments will be given, leaving plenty of time to capture the beauty of the place. Afternoons may include field trips to museums, vintage open-air markets, a swim in Mediterranean, trips to Cannes or Nice, a ferry ride to the Isle of St. Marguerite or simply strolling in town with a camera in hand.

This is not a technical workshop, but instead one that inspires making photographs that go beyond the travel snapshot. One-on-one time with the instructor will be encouraged and feedback on work created during the workshop will take place throughout the week. As a photographer, editor, and educator, Aline will provide insights into all aspects of the photographic journey. Join us for a once in a lifetime experience in a magical setting by the sea. Take time from your daily life, leaving room to dream. It will be a week filled with laughter, light, learning, friends and adventures. And of course, croissants.
