Imagine stepping through a threshold of ancient Incan treasures and returning with a fresh, enlightened vision - one you have experienced with your own senses and captured with your own eyes and camera to show the world.
David Simchock is an experienced world traveler and accomplished artist who is as passionate about his craft as he is about his travels. He has documented five continents of cultural images and emotion through his nomadic and creative endeavors and joins us to share the tricks of the travel photography trade. David's specialized program unfolds during a 9-day intensive journey into the Sacred Valley of Peru.
Participants will learn hands-on techniques to improve and fine-tune their photography skills, acquiring what it takes to produce compelling photographic images instead of the occasional "good snapshot". Developing visual awareness will be emphasized and the portrayal of "human emotion" and "spirit of place" will be essential elements of the course.
This magnificent journey takes us into a spectacular Incan Empire city in the Andes, located at 12,500 feet. This lovely Andean town is unmistakably Spanish in architecture, and full of mysticism and history. The glorious villages of Pissac, Ollantaytambo, and Willoc offer vast, panoramic vistas. We'll visit the famous Pissac artisans, whose woven handicrafts are some of the finest in this region. An exciting touring adventure takes us on a journey by train to the 'Lost city of Machupicchu'.
Our itinerary is enhanced with options to learn about medicinal plants from spiritual healers, soak in aromatic baths, and to relax with an Andean-style massage. Join David for this incredible and unforgettable opportunity!
