PETE DOBRÉ
Nothing excites me more than taking people to awesome
locations and seeing them grow in their photography. So
why do a photography workshop with me and any of my
extended tours that run between three days and three
weeks? It’s a great way to be with people who are on the
same page, to be with people who know the importance
of patience and to wait for that light. You will never hear,
“Are you done now, can we go?” Ring a bell?
A good teacher will give you good teaching. It
should never be about the teacher – it’s about you. As
you learn with me you gain tips and one of the most
pivotal advantages is that I have done the homework
for you. You just rock up and all is taken care of.
I’ve had many repeat guests who keep coming back and
I ask them why? Their response generally is, “why wouldn’t
I Pete? You have done all of the homework for me. Yes I
could go there myself, but it is going to take me a lot more
time to work things out for myself and besides, you are there
to guide and help me in the photography should I need it.”
I only work with small groups, usually of eight peo-
ple, and no greater than 10.
When you do a photography workshop it is more
than taking pictures, you are investing in the expe-
rience of life. You go to great locations, meet new
friends, exchange ideas with others and importantly,
learn from others as well as myself. Workshops will
help you try things that are different and that’s how
you grow. A photography workshop will open your
eyes to things that you would have never seen before.
Attending a workshop will encourage you to take im-
ages that ref lect emotion and a deep sense of who you
are. The hallmark of photography is light and compo-
sition and this is what I teach and stress through my
workshops. Most of my workshops come with notes – a
must to help the learning process.
I hope to see you on tour one day.Find out more at petedobre.com.auABOVE: Coming together for light by Pete Dobre.
