Every year, we offer a special digital photography tour which helps participants develop their personal vision and discover how to create more compelling images. Under the guidance of internationally renowned photographer Mark Tuschman, you’ll learn the subtleties of light and composition, how to use these elements to express your point of view, and how to use digital tools to enhance or transform an image.
Our usual destination, Myanmar (or Burma), offers maximum visual opportunities – imagine the shots you’ll be able to take on a hot-air balloon ride over the spectacular temples of Bagan, or a visit to the “floating islands” and stilt-house villages of Inle Lake. You’ll watch traditional craftsmen at work in Amarapura, the former royal capital; take a scenic boat cruise up the Irrawaddy River; and see the gleaming golden pagodas and sprawling markets of Yangon.
Mark Tuschman, your instructor, has over 30 years of professional experience and is known for his images of people in environments and his landscape photography. Recently he has focused on issues surrounding women and girls in Africa, India and Latin America, including women's rights, reproductive health care, microfinance and girls' education, in such diverse locales as Guatemala, Ethiopia, and Bangladesh. He was recently named Global Health Council Photographer of the Year for 2009-2010.
Mark has led several of our photo workshops, which are always very popular and fill up quickly. Although this trip is geared for serious photographers, spouses are also welcome. Our group is limited to a small size so everyone can expect quality time with Mark
