Discovering Your Photographic Vision. Landscape Photography Workshops in Zagori.

Are you ready to see ?

An abstract and surreal reflection of autumn foliage on a water surface, with an inverted perspective creating an intriguing visual illusion.
A misty alpine landscape with rugged cliffs, a textured patch of snow, and a still water reflection, creating a serene and dramatic atmosphere.

Perhaps, like me, you've felt the weight of years, the subtle dimming of that inner spark that once ignited your creative spirit. Maybe you’ve even put down your camera, convinced that the magic was gone, that the world had lost its luster. I understand. I lived that silence for five long years.

Five years of artistic paralysis. The familiar landscapes, once vibrant and inspiring, became stale, predictable. The weight of expectations, the pressure to replicate "perfect" images, crushed my joy. I chased cliches, not light. I sought validation, not connection. I was lost.

And then, I found Zagori.

This wild, untamed region of Greece, with its deep gorges, ancient stone bridges, and mist-shrouded peaks, didn't just offer beautiful scenery. It offered a mirror. A raw, honest reflection of the soul. A place that UNESCO registered as a cultural landscape.

I discarded the rigid rules, the pre-conceived notions of what a "good" landscape photograph should be. I stopped trying to capture what I thought others wanted to see. I started to listen to my instincts, to feel the rhythm of the land, to let the light guide me.

I stopped photographing for something, and started photographing from something. From a place of vulnerability, of curiosity, of pure, unadulterated awe. I rediscovered the joy of simply being present, of witnessing the ephemeral beauty of a fleeting moment.

Zagori became my sanctuary, a place where I could shed the layers of doubt and rediscover my true self. The landscape wasn't just a subject; it was a catalyst for transformation. It taught me that photography isn't about capturing perfection, but about capturing authenticity.

And now I want to share what I’ve gained through this journey with you!

Testimonials

  • "Excellent, calm, patient, helpful. He keeps no tricks and secrets to himself and generously shares his technical knowledge and the places that have inspired him. I left his seminar with images and a feeling that I became better."

    Nafsika | Greece

  • "I have participated in the autumn workshop and it was a unique experience! Konstantinos was very friendly and an excellent mentor. At the end of the seminar, I was left full of new knowledge, great photos and having enriched my "photographic look". I can't wait for the next one!"

    Chris | Greece

  • "This was my first photography workshop and I was quite anxious about it. After spending a week in the Dolomites I have to say I’m glad I took the plunge. I learned a lot, I photographed places I would otherwise not have seen, and I built confidence that I did not develop in years of shooting on my own. We had three instructors for 6 participants and I can’t stress enough how beneficial that was. Andy, Konstantinos and Kostas all offer different insights, different tips and have their own style of shooting. Also, there is always somebody available to help with your composition, suggest different approaches or judge your last shot. Apart from their photographical expertise I was impressed by the patience and cordiality of all three"

    Egon | Austria

  • “The Light Explorers Photography workshop in The Italian Dolomites was an amazing experience. This was my first time taking part in a photography workshop and I could not think of a better team than Andy, Kostas and Kostantinos. Their attention to detail and expertise of the area led to a seamless and hassle-free week in Italy. Adapting to weather and lighting conditions, no time wasted in getting the absolute most out of the locations we visited. They provided the right balance of individualized attention and artistic freedom in helping me to develop my own shooting style. With every location I was compelled to create even more interesting compositions than the next. Because of my time in the Dolomites I have developed a new found passion for nature and all things photography.”

    Marc | USA

  • “The Light Explorers workshop in the Dolomites was absolutely fantastic. We visited a number of stunning locations during a very well-planned trip, and I felt I could concentrate on photography while all else was taken care of. There was plenty of opportunity for great one-on-one time with Andy, Kostas and Konstantinos, who are all tremendously knowledgeable and provided great insight into all aspects of the process, from shooting through processing. Great getting to know everyone in our group as well. Thanks for a tremendous experience!”

    Adam | Canada

  • “I thoroughly enjoyed your 6 day Dolomites tour. I was impressed by the outstanding organization, the wonderful locations we visited, and the excellent, personalized instruction we received. The accommodation and meals were also of very high quality.”

    Rodney | Australia

  • “The Light Explorer’s Landscape Photography Workshop in Tuscany was everything I hoped it would be and more! The education and advice was constructive and appropriately challenging and stretched me to focus on the details, implement new techniques and develop my style and goals for my photography. The team of instructors come alongside you from the start and are highly engaging, offering assistance, education and their professional perspectives to help you come away with a successful photographic experience. Each instructor offers his unique insight, which I found encouraging because there are numerous ways to achieve excellent results. The instructors were very attentive to the participants throughout the entire workshop. I felt like we were all the best of friends sharing an awesome photographic adventure! Beautiful and inspiring landscapes. Insightful conversations, instruction, and critiques with professionals who openly share their knowledge - just what a great photo workshop should be! Light Explorers takes great care of its participants. This was the best photographic workshop I have experienced. I look forward to future workshops with Light Explorers!”

    Pam | USA

  • “I have been in two different workshops. One in spring and the other in Autumn. The beauty of the landscapes along with the Light Explorers expertise on landscape photography were the key ingredients for me going back home with a lot of wonderful photos. Konstantinos and Kostas are really gracious hosts even lending their own equipment to workshop participants. Looking forward for the next one!”

    Kostas | Greece

  • “I took part in the Valia Calda National Park workshop and what a fantastic experience it was. Wonderful scenery, comprehensive guidance from Konstantinos, new techniques learned, wonderful scenery, and loads of idea exchanging both in theory and in practice outside the boundaries of a typical landscape workshop. At the end of the workshop, I left full of knowledge and a more acute “photographic eye” and loads of images that I was happy with. I can’t wait for the next one!”

    Apostolos | Greece

  • "An outstanding professional and connoisseur of photography, who generously and comprehensibly shares his knowledge. Very nice experiences from both the workshops I attended."

    Evi | Greece

  • "Konstantinos, Kostas and Andy are a great team who prepared and run the workshop that was both wonderful in terms of photography but also entertaining and enjoyable. The mixture of mentality and background within the leading group as well as the participants made the whole workshop a very lively undertaking. Tuscany is a great place to go to, even when the weather is not so perfect, but the way this workshop is run is unique. Andy, Konstantinos and Kostas provided every support necessary while making photographs in great locations and also on how to process these images afterwards. My highlight was that feedback and critique was provided in a very helpful way. The workshop truly provides great value for money.

    Wolfgang | Austria

  • "I spent a fantastic week in Tuscany with Andy, Kostas and Kostantino. It was an incredibly valuable experience toward improving my landscape photography. They provided individualized attention in a relaxed environment that allowed one the freedom to experiment. The non-photography part of the workshop (food, lodging, and travel to locations) was completely hassle-free. Because of my positive experience, I signed up for their workshop in the Dolomites."

    Scott | USA

  • "Discovering Tuscany with Light Explorers was a very enjoyable experience for me. Tuscany obviously is an iconic destination for landscape photography, but what made this trip quite special was the mood of the accompanying pros. Not only did we cover great spots, but we did it in a proactive way, being stimulated to discover the very best shooting spots, the best framing and taking opportunity of the best light. Every part of the shooting experience was covered by the three pros with their own angle, from the very technical aspects to the spiritual mood you could adopt in order to boost your artistic creativity. A very complete and stimulating experience I would warmly recommend."

    Pierre | Switzerland

  • "The Light Explorers trip was a pleasure despite the rigors of sleeping like an ocean-going sailor - i.e. in bouts of 3-4 hours. It was well worth it to get the light. It rubbed off on me as I now get up - occasionally - at 5 AM to get the sunrise. Never ever did that before. I am now longing for winter… The other pleasing aspect was that we were talked about composition much more than Photoshop layers. I like that. And Andy, Kostas and Konstantinos did a stellar job of asking questions rather than just giving answers. Many thanks."

    Chris | France

  • "I just returned from Light Explorers Dolomites workshop and feel I learned heaps. all partner photographers made sure that between 6 participants we all had a lot of 1-1 input. I have been on quite a few photo trips and this one certainly hits the 10 for input and tuition. Brilliant and thank you Andy, Kostas and Kostantinos. The locations were varied and interesting and the accommodation really comfy. We had two locations, and my favorite one was the first one by a mile - it was much wilder and rocky rugged. The second location was more gentle and green. However - it was a good contrast and very interesting to get a more complete picture of the region. Thank you all again."
