Be in the midst of a captivating culture where all your senses are engaged. Use your photography to connect with the wonderfully open and welcoming Balinese!
Elaine: Having experienced a number of workshops and instructors, I can honestly say that George's knowledge, understanding, and patience are incomparable. George went "above and beyond" for the durationa of the workshop, his enthusiasm never waning and his passion for photography never faltering. After the workshop, I want to make better images, not ever settle for "that's good enough"!
Wherever we take you, you will become part of the family. This is the way of the Balinese.
Anna: George is one-of-a-kind! I've done lots of workshops over the years, but our Bali experience with George stands above the rest by a mile! His technical knowledge, humor, enthusiasm, and energy are second to none! Is there anything he doesn't know? His wife, Beata, brought invaluable local knowledge and natural interraction with the Balinese, making it possible to get "the shot" every time!
Our trip is structured to give you individual attention, to help you improve your image-making skills - from storytelling, to portraits, to photojournalism.
Tuchi: It's really been a fabulous workshop! You're a great teacher and patient when it counted the most. The best part of the trip was meeting people I would have never have met during a Nusa Dua type of vacation.
Attend a cooking demo, photograph the colorful exotic ingredients, and taste the complex flavorings of traditional Balinese cuisine - hosted by a local family, and at friendly local restaurants.
Allen: As a photographer who has traveled extensively, I've found that the key to creating powerful images on location is knowing where to be and when. That seems simple, but when you are dealing with a country half way around the world, that can be daunting. Bali had been on my list for a long time, and having George and Beata'a intimate knowledge of the island was the primary reason I chose to work with them in fulfilling that desire. They took us to amazing places, introduced us to remarkable people, and guided us in finding authentic Balinese cuisine.
We will also explore and photograph the natural wonders of Bali. All travel details are taken care of, to free you to concentrate on your photography and fully enjoy your experience.
Alece: Beata and George provided an insider's perspective to a beautiful place with a fascinating culture. Having them as local guides greatly enriched our experience.
Cost includes: extraordinary accommodations at our partner, Alila Manggis Hotel, travel services, admission to all cultural, musical, and theatre performances, and options for leisure activities such as cooking classes, spa, snorkeling - or just walking on the beach.

Vance: I loved how my pictures came out and I'm so proud of myself! I feel like I stepped up! I'm gonna' remember that trip forever! Thank you George!
