- Photography Workshop Retreat 


What we see is a mirror of what we are…

Capturing every moment with our sight and store it in our beautiful, unique chest of memories, through the lens we capture the uniqueness of this world and through a picture thousand words can be explained.

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder…why not being the creator of beauty in everything that is captured through our eyes?

Let our camera be the tool of our creation of beauty, everything around us can be beautiful, is up to us to see it…

Let’s get inspired by exploring the surroundings of this beautiful village. Showing our gratitude towards their welcome by capturing it’s beauty through our lenses.
