Life with the Nomads, Mongolia (SUMMER) - 9th - 15th August 2020


  • altai mountains mongolia (map)

F8 Photography will run a small group photography workshop based in the Altai Mountains, Western Mongolia, to live with and document the lives of several families of Kazakh Eagle Hunters.

OVERVIEW

This workshop is for photographers wishing to enhance their composition, portraiture and storytelling ability with their portfolio, concentrating on producing a series of images documenting the area and people we spend time with throughout the workshop. Although the Eagle Hunters do not actually hunt in the summer, you will still be able to document and experience their lifestyle and see their Eagles, just in less hostile weather than the hunting season!

This workshop will run from Sunday 9th August to Saturday 15th August inclusive.

WEATHER

The weather on this workshop will be mild compared to our winter workshops (warm days and still +8c at night), so don’t worry, we will also provide you with an extensive kit list to ensure you have the right equipment with you and are well prepared!

SEATS

CURRENTLY, THERE ARE 5 SPACES LEFT ON THIS WORKSHOP (AS AT 15 JAN 2020)

This workshop is limited to a maximum of 6 persons only for an exclusive small-group experience.

ROUGH ITINERARY

Gary jointly led a workshop the same location in November 2019 and everything is in place to ensure you have an epic experience in one of the most photogenic parts of the world.

Each participant will work on their own photo project throughout the workshop, and we will have group discussion and slideshow portfolio reviews each night as a group and learning from seeing what each other shoot at the same locations each day.
