Andalucía : The Jewel of Southern Spain Andrea Wallace & Kari Varner
O
CONCEPT : Join Anderson Ranch Artistic Director Andrea Wallace and photographer Kari Varner for a week of personalized photography instruction as we tour Southern Spain with the nationally recognized tour company Butterfield and Robinson . Andalucía is the intense , passionate and sensuous soul of Spain . Everything about it — its architecture , food , language and music — are unforgettable because they were born out of mixed roots and the collision of cultures . Catholic , Moorish , Jewish , folk and Gypsy worlds swirled together for centuries to create something unique ... something that is , as Federico Garcia Lorca might say , deeply alive .

We embark on daily excursions to explore and photograph the cities of Seville , Córdoba , Ronda , Granada , as well as outings to the natural paradise of Doñana and the UNESCO site of Albaicín , the one-time Moorish quarter of Granada . We strike a balance between daily critiques , fieldwork , discussions , new technical and aesthetic material , and the freedom to explore and photograph the region . This workshop focuses on gaining more creative control of your digital camera , understanding the principles of composition , and moving beyond the cliché in photography .
While we have a daily curriculum , the most valuable part of the workshop is having plenty of hands-on time each day to put what you are learning into practice . Also important is having time to share your process and images with other participants . You apply what you are discovering in a gorgeous , stimulating and inspirational setting with different venues to photograph each day . The emphasis is on providing a comfortable learning environment , having fun , and enjoying this beautiful region of Europe .
This workshop is geared to all travel and camera enthusiasts interested in gaining more confidence and more creative control of the features of a digital camera and improving photography skills . All kinds of cameras are welcome , from cell phones to DSLRs .
MEDIA : Cell phone cameras to Digital SLR ’ s , laptops .
