Workshop in Portugal

Few weeks ago (yes weeks! time passes like crazy!) I was sitting on stairs in front of an old primary school in Portugal, drinking wine and thinking about the next day. Because the next day was when all the participants arrived and we were starting our workshop. I am quite often excited and when it comes close to “zero hour” I can hardly wait. It was my first 5 days workshop, so I thought that it will last forever. Guess what, it didn’t. The time has passed as it was 5 minutes. And it was done.

Everything about this workshop was unexpected. We were supposed to have an amazing sunny weather and we even had a storm with thunders. It was a crazy experience to make a bbq with tone of rain falling from the sky and wind blowing like crazy (we did it! Or super talented scout Fillip made it). Everything turned out great, most probably because I had an amazing Sanda organising it with me. She was the one who found our location, which could not be in a better place and gave us many interesting options for shooting. Coast of Portugal is magical indeed.

Our group was the best though. So many interesting, talented and inspiring people. Each one had a story to tell. Few of them were so funny, that they made me cry out of laughter. Sini, Joanna, Mina, Anna, Simone, Lisa, Marina, Ana, Pilar and Giulia thank you so much for coming and being awesome. Hope to see you very soon.

We were picnicking together, talking about food, photography, life, bothering fishermen, visiting a local artist who loves his work, eating, drinking and creating a special marshmallow sandwich. It was awesome. I want to go back!

Big thank you to our partners, who helped to make this workshop awesome:
