*** Longwood Run Underwater Photography Workshop With Lawson Wood ***
11 January 2008
Red Sea specialists Longwood Holidays are running a digital underwater photography workshop with renowned photographer Lawson Wood.
The workshop will run for 7 nights from 22nd – 29th June onboard the VIP one Liveaboard.
“The clear, warm waters of the Red Sea make it an ideal place to enhance your underwater photography skills” said Dan Lion, Dive Product Manager. “Advances in technology combined with more affordable prices mean more and more people are able to enjoy underwater photography. Recently we’ve seen a large increase in people wanting to capture their dive memories and there’s no better way to learn than from an experienced photographer like Lawson.”
The trip will cover all aspects of underwater photography and includes one to one sessions with Lawson plus dive accompaniment.
“We felt it was important to organise a workshop that had the right balance of theory and practical opportunities. The benefit of a one to one session with a photographer with over 35 years experience is immeasurable” commented Lion. “Daily lectures will cover the theory and include constructive critique to allow students to improve their existing skills and fill in the gaps in their knowledge. The course will end with a competition, allowing students to demonstrate their new skills, with the winning photos appearing on the Red Sea College website, a great accolade for any underwater photographer.”
The total cost is £1099 per person. Price includes flights, 7 nights accommodation on a full board basis, 6 days diving, supply of weights, belts and tanks plus photo workshop with Lawson Wood.
