For many, Romania is an unknown country. Away from main tourist routes, undiscovered. That’s why it is so alluring. Romanian villages captivate the visitors with magical colors, richness of traditional culture, still alive in the countryside. Our guide during the trip will be Vlad Dumitrescu, an excellent Romanian photographer who devoted his life to photographing the country he was born in. Amazing portraits, photos of everyday life of Romanian villages, and landscapes, will surely become a part of the history of Romanian photography, a testimony of what will inevitably pass away. During the workshops, you will be also accompanied by Tomasz Przychodzień, who will focus on the landscape photography part. We will visit the Bucegi mountains – the most mysterious of the Romanian mountains which preserved the traces of ancient civilizations and the beautiful Ciucas mountains with its amazing rock formations.
During the time spent in Romania, Vlad and Tomasz will share their photographic knowledge and experience with you. You will learn the basic techniques of photographing outdoors, photographic composition and how to use the existing lighting conditions to make your photos amaze not only yourselves. We will be photographing everyday life in Romanian villages, capturing mountain sunsets and sunrises and also try astrophotography if the weather conditions allow us to. We will show you advanced photo techniques that help you to take advantage of capabilities of your equipment (combining exposures, perspectives, ettr, photographic tricks of Tomasz and Vlad).

What will we see? We will focus mainly on the Brasov region. We will visit beautiful Ciucas mountains, as well as one of the most mysterious mountains in Europe – Bucegi, where we will see traces of ancient civilizations. The beginning of October gives the opportunity to shoot in quite peaceful conditions, without the presence of big tourist crowds, comparing to the holiday season. Mountain trekking will require medium physical condition, we plan a maximum of 4-5-hour hike (we can do it in a whole day). During the trip, we will visit the residents of local villages of Magura and Holbav in their homes, we will get to know with their everyday life, culture and traditions. Vlad will help us experience the real Romania, not the one from tourist brochures.
How will the trip be organized? The workshop will be conducted in small group so each of you will have opportunity to work directly with Vlad and Tomasz on specific areas you want to improve in your photography. Regardless your current photographic skills, whether you are a pro or an amateur, you will be able to develop exactly the skills you want. We divided the program into two parts – landscape and documentary. We will divide the group into two smaller teams, one of which along with Vlad will traverse Romanian villages, visiting the homes of their inhabitants. Due to the intimate nature of this part (close contact with local people), it is not possible to implement it in a larger group. Same time the other group will explore Romanian mountains with Tomasz. After few days the groups will swap so everyone will be able to take full advantage of the planned program – photographing both – village life and mountain landscapes.
