Bali has lured travelers for centuries, and it remains one of the few places in the world where one can witness authentic rituals that have not diminished with the passage of time. This workshop will immerse you into the real lives of Balinese villagers: working, making art, cooking, socializing, preparing offerings, and practicing their joyous religious ceremonies. Photographic opportunities include visiting artists at work in their studios, joining one family’s trip to the farmers’ market  and documenting the preparation of the daily meals, visiting a local healer and a future seer (dare to ask for a reading?), traveling across the island to see life in a traditional village, and photographing iconic temples.

This workshop is designed to inspire and motivate photographers to approach these events from many different perspectives. George and Beata will give logistical support and language/cultural translation, emphasizing individual attention - to enable participants to hone their craft, think through their project, define their vision, and grow on their own terms. A digital workflow will be encouraged and supported, to facilitate the editing and reviewing of all images, but film is equally welcomed.
