The Workshops
How this
works.
The goal of the new Raja Ampat SEACAM center is to show photographers how to get the very best images from their equipment, all while diving some of the very best reefs & seamounts in Raja Ampat. We’re creating a unique combination of hands-on and practical tuition while diving superb sites and staying in a beautiful resort – including well-trained and experienced dive guides on site.
- The workshop will take 7–10 days and will take place at Sorido Bay Resort, hosted and accompanied by SEACAM photographers.
- Bookings will be done through Sorido Bay Resort, but we’ll be happy to answer any questions regarding the Raja Ampat SEACAM center in general.
- Various topics will be covered in the workshops, from macro, wide-angle-macro and wideangle to specific questions.
- Alongside the hands-on, on-site dive sessions, you will receive coaching and support on location as well as after the trip to make sure you get the best possible outcome from this exciting and transformative trip.
Each major topic (Macro, WAM & Wide-Angle photography) will be covered as follows:
Post breakfast session
- in-classroom, covering the key points and agreeing on the objectives for the in-water sessions that will follow
- intro to theory and practicalities around reaching the agreed in-water objectives
- maintenance, troubleshooting and equipment talk
Two in-water sessions per day
- In-water sessions will be conducted at specific sites selected because of the availability of subject matter relevant to the agreed objectives.
- On the boat, we’ll have plenty of space, a toilet and comes complete with a large worktable for camera equipment adjustments and technique discussions.
- Instructor available for in-water and above water tuition as required
Review Session
- Afternoon review and critique of the day’s images and evaluation against the agreed objectives
- Individual coaching and problem solving tuition available as required
The Digital Darkroom
- The key to great images is good ones captured in-camera while in the water – properly composed, properly exposed and all the available “digital data” recorded
- At the pixel level modern digital cameras have incredible capability and digital darkroom techniques using Lightroom and Photoshop can transform the foundational “good” image into a truly “great” one
- Early evening sessions will be conducted every day to show the attendees how to do that
On-Going Support
- Each workshop attendee will receive one free of charge two-hour remote coaching session to review images, reinforce learning and general support
