Landscape Photography Course

LEARN THE ART OF LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY | OUTDOOR PRACTICAL MASTERCLASS

Join Martin Osner for a one-of-a-kind experience in our most popular course. This incredible one-week masterclass is hosted from his studio in Hout Bay, Cape Town, and comprises a series of lectures, on-location workshops, and practical demonstrations.

If you're interested in learning advanced techniques for capturing stunning photos of forests, landscapes, and seascapes, this course is a must! Presented during a season change or in winter when the weather is best for outdoor photography, it offers excellent natural lighting opportunities and creates incredible moods in landscape photography.

Prepare yourself for a week of fun, inspiration, and creativity. Most of the course is practical on-location workshops, as Martin firmly believes that one-on-one 'over the shoulder' instruction is the best way to learn this exciting genre. During the course, Martin will take you to some of the most exciting locations in and around the Cape Peninsula, where you can practice the techniques taught to yourself.

What sets Martin's teaching apart from many instructors is that he provides students with space to achieve their vision with over-the-shoulder guidance. He also does not take his camera onto location, instead giving his undivided attention to his students.

The program for the week will change according to the weather where you will learn:

How to find a composition
Technical know-how
Learn how to work with natural light
HDR control
InfraRed photography
Panoramic shooting and stitching
Fill lighting
Learn RAW file control and processing
Design elements in the composition
A creative approach
Identifying locations and pre-planning for a shoot

Never before have I attended a photography course that will beat Martin Osner's - One Week Masterclass in Landscape Photography!!

Originally, our course dates were set for the end of May 2020, but due to COVID-19, it was postponed, and it was postponed yet again until eventually the end of November finally dawned. The long wait was really so worth waiting for.

Intense, fun, technical, creative, a gazillion opportunities, new friends, and really just WOW!!

If Landscape tickles your fancy and you have a serious tickle, this is the REAL DEAL!!
 
Martin is a Masterclass all on his own, and his daughter Samantha really adds so much value.
 
At the end of the course, I walked away with a wealth of newly gained knowledge, and to cap it all, my very own A2 print, which I will have framed to hang in my lounge!

Thank you, Martin and Samantha, for an absolutely grand time, and I most certainly hope to see you both again on some of your other courses in the not-too-distant future.

SHOWCASE

" Dear Martin, thank you, thank you, thank you for one of the best weeks of my life. I have admired your work for a long time but never knew what an excellent teacher you are.  I have learned more in the last week than in the previous 10 years since I bought my first DSLR.   I really appreciate your style – the personal attention, the confidence you gave me that I will be able to have an amazing image by the end of the week, and the way you freely shared your knowledge."
