Photography Retreat with Lori Sortino


This is a two-day deep dive into seeing horses and capturing compelling horse images led by equine photographer extraordinaire, Lori Sortino.

Spend Saturday, 11 a.m. to sunset +  Sunday, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on a walking photography retreat, different than a workshop, on our 60-acre ranch with free-roaming horses.  There will be NO teaching.

We will carry our cameras, walk the property, and when sensing or hearing the horses nearby, find a spot to sit and wait.  As in wildlife photography, the intention is to capture the natural behavior of the horses.  We will not force any movement or go in with any expectations.  

Walking on the land, in the creek bed and meadows, and strolling under the oaks, is peaceful and calming.  This retreat is a great time to practice observing the beauty of nature and capturing a few quality images when the impulse strikes.  You can bring any type of camera, or even no camera at all, and just take all in with your full senses.

You must be able to walk up and down hills, wear sturdy boots, and bring and carry your own food, chair/stool/pad, water, and camera.  At times you may need to duck under a fence or a tree branch, so being able-bodied is required.  Spring time may likely involve walking through the creek, as well as muddy soil, so waterproof/rubber boots are recommended.

Exchange: $480 per person (limit 5)
