2014 Photography Workshop Schedule

My 2013 Photography Workshops are almost all sold out... there are only spots remaining on my workshop with Deb Sandidge in Northern Ontario and my workshop with Len Silvester in Venezuela in October

I have been refining my 2014 photography workshop schedule over the last 45 days and wanted to get the information out so you could arrange your holidays and plan your 2014 travel. I thank you all for your patience and I hope to see you out on one of our workshops in 2014

February 2014 - Iceland
We will be headed back to Iceland, but this time to focus on icebergs and the northern lights as they dance over our heads.

April 2014 - Tanzania
Its our annual trip to the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Conservation Area in Tanzania. We stay in and around the Wildebeest migration just after the calving season and follow the predators as they follow the migration.

July 2014 - Provence and Paris
This is a semi-private workshop with only space for four photographers. Right now there are only two spots left as we spend half a week photographing lavender and the Camargue horses before we head north to capture the city of lights and love.

Details to be announced on my website in May 2013.

August 2014 - Tofino, British Columbia
Tofino is on the west coast of Vancouver Island. We are headed there in that magical time when the seasons change and the sea fog creates a special environment that all photographers will never forget. This year we are headed to Tofino with Ellen Anon.

September 2014 - Paris, France
This will be my 8th time in Paris and I never get tired of walking through the streets and capturing the essence of the Parisian sights and sounds. This year we are visiting Paris after the crowds die down and the fall colors begin to peak through in the parks. I hope you can join Denise Ippolito and Deborah Sandidge as I spend two weeks in Paris in 2014.

October 2014 - Mongolia
Golden Eagles, traditional dress, mountains, Jim Zuckerman and the Gobi desert... a great recipe for a fantastic workshop in Mongolia. This is going to be my return visit to Mongolia as I have a workshop that is set to go in July of 2013 to see the Naadam Festival.

November 2014 - Bald Eagle Workshops Columbia
I lived in this area and I shake my head that I ever left... its a photographers playground. We will be running workshops during the Bald Eagle migration as they flock to feed on the migratory salmon in the Fraser Valley.

Date Unknown - Venezuela
This will be another return trip to Venezuela as we visit Lake Maracaibo and the Andes Mountains. We will be focusing in on the wildlife, birds, butterflies, landscapes and the natural wonder of the Catatumbo Lightening.

We are planning on the September and October time frame. Please contact me if you are interested.

In addition to eagles, seals, bears and other birds of prey, the opportunity for some fantastic British Columbia mountain landscape photography will surround you no matter where we go.

I hope you consider joining me and my fellow photographers. 2014 is looking to be a great year as we visit some amazing destinations.

New Learning Environment for Photographers
 

The teaching arm of KPep Photography, The Photographer’s Lounge, has just announced the creation of a new teaching division of the Photographer’s Lounge, called simply, “The Lounge”.
 

 "The Lounge" was started to give all levels of photographers the opportunity to take a more in-depth look into different genres of photography with other like minded people that share the passion of photography. This will be facilitated in a relaxed group setting twice a month from September to April. Meetings will be structured in 2 hour classroom sessions and 2 hour informal discussion that offers hands on learning and casual round table discussions in a fun and relaxing environment.
 

When asking Kevin Pepper, the founder of the “Photographers Lounge”, why would you want to become a member of "The Lounge"? Kevin responded by saying, “Where else can you meet people who enjoy creating photographs just like you, experienced and amateur photographers sharing their shooting methods, discussing possible travel locations, talk apertures, f-stops and Photoshop... PRO's giving you their inside tips -and all in one place? The Lounge is run by professional photographers that have the experience teaching others how to become better photographers. We pride ourselves at being better teachers having mentored under some of the globes most experienced photographers. As a result of that mentoring we believe we will offer more insightful teaching and more real world valuable information that you will not receive elsewhere.”
 

Members of “The Lounge” will also receive access to the latest photography gear through the companies many sponsorships and business relationships. This gear is brought to their meetings for photographers to look at, and see first hand on how it operates in a real setting... from professional studio lighting set ups, to the latest super telephoto lens, at the Lounge photographers will have opportunities that you will not get at your local photography club.

The company intends to introduce the membership to these photographers that work with the Photographer's Lounge in other areas of the company when they visit Ontario.

New Podcast discussing photography related topics

I am happy to announce that Tom Baker and I have developed a new podcast to discuss all things photography. The new podcast website is www.shuttertripping.com and has a home on facebook at www.facebook.com/ShutterTripping.

Tom Baker is an accomplished travel and nature photographer based out of Toronto, Ontario. Over the years Tom has travelled across North America, The Caribbean and Europe capturing compelling images in his unique style.


“I love being outdoors. I love getting out into the thick of things. I’ve never had a desire to be in a studio. I want to watch the sun come up over the ocean, or discover hidden gems in whatever city I’m in. That’s what inspires me. Travelling the world and exploring it through photography is my passion. “

When he isn’t shooting for clients or for own projects, Tom spends his time helping people learn the art of photography. He regularly writes tips, product reviews and photo how-to’s on his website, as well as various social media outlets. He has also helped lead numerous workshops and, especially in his adopted home of Florida.

Currently , Tom is working on his first book, a photographic history of his home town Cleveland, OH.

Kevin is a nature photographer and teacher at heart. No matter what the season is; the draw of being out in the outdoors is what inspires him to take photos and take amateur photographers on one of his photography workshops. But you will also see other styles of photography in his portfolio.
From street photography, to urban exploration of abandoned buildings and architecture, he loves to capture it all with his camera for his corporate clients and his growing personal portfolio.

Kevin also operates the “Photographers Lounge”, a company dedicated to teaching photography. Through “The Lounge” you can learn from some of the best photographers of our time.

Together Tom and Kevin will discuss various photographic topics and periodically invite guests on to discuss relevant topics many photographers want to know more about.

Please listen in and and enjoy the podcasts at www.shuttertripping.com
