Workshop Overview and General Information

ALISTER BENN has been running photographic workshops to the north coast of Spain for over 10 years and has an incredibly detailed knowledge of not just the more iconic, well known areas, but dozens of secret spots known only to a few locals. This experience of the geography, weather, tides and seasons allows Expressive Photography to deliver incredible bespoke workshops for people seeking something more from their photography and creativity.

Whether you are looking to explore with a wide-angled lens or a longer zoom, there is something for everyone at every location. We will begin and end in Bilbao, which has excellent connectivity to most European hubs. We will then spend 3 nights based in eastern Asturias, followed by 5 nights in western Asturias. We travel through so many different rock types and the architecture of the coast seems infinite in its variability.

This workshop is a Masterclass in Seascape Photography and we will look at the techniques necessary to control time to influence the aesthetic outcome of the composition. How to simplify complex scenes and isolate interest will be a huge part of the course, as will encouraging each participant to find their own voice and take on this extraordinary coast.

March is an excellent month to combine the potential for some wild weather with milder temperatures.

The workshop will start with dinner on the 11th March and end in Bilbao airport at 3pm on the 20th.
