GO TO BOOKING

GREEN BALL VALLEY AND ITS SURROUNDINGS is an extremely photogenic area of the High Tatras. It offers a really large number of different compositions suitable for artistic landscape photography. All these places are easily accessible. The workshop is intended for beginners as well as advanced landscape photographers who want to move their work a little further and learn to take pictures not only of what we see, but especially what we feel at the moment, which is the meaning of fine art landscape photography. It is also suitable for all photographers who want to spend pleasant moments in a relaxed atmosphere with people with the same interests in the beautiful Tatra countryside.

INDICATIVE PLAN

WORKSHOP:

DAY 1

We will start the first day of our workshop with a meeting in the Kežmarská Biela voda car park, which is the starting point on the route to the cottage at Zelený ples, where we will be accommodated. We will stay at the cottage, take over the plan for the next days and due to the conditions we will either take over the basic theory or take a picture of the sunset near the cottage.

DAY 2

We'll be working on early in the morning photography in the most interesting places, which are located near the Green Ball. I know all these places perfectly, as I spent weeks on them. You will feel like in Canada on some of them. Of course, I will also transfer this feeling to the photos you create. In the afternoon we will briefly focus on art theory and post-process. Depending on the conditions, we will choose to take pictures of the sunset as well.

DAY 3

We will start the third day by photographing the sunrise right next to the Green Ball, which is located only a few meters from the cottage where we will be accommodated. The area around the ball also offers several interesting compositions. After the photo shoot and breakfast, we will evaluate the workshop. Everyone will receive additional individual tips to improve their work. Before lunch we will go to the parking lot, which ends the workshop.

The plan is only indicative. Individual locations may change due to the weather forecast. But you don't have to be afraid of that. The workshop will be led by a lecturer who knows the conditions in the mountains well.

WHAT DO YOU LEARN IN A WORKSHOP?

THE WORKSHOP WILL ACCOMPANY YOU:

My name is Filip Hrebenda. I am a photographer focused on artistic photography of the landscape, especially mountain areas. My the creation is characterized by the sensitive use of the colorful colors found in nature. With these colors, interesting light, and working with creative composition I try my best transfer the atmosphere of the photographed locations to the viewer. This is exactly the skill I want for every workshop, course or participant shipping. I got to take photos years ago due to my relationship with the mountains and nature, which I had since I was little. Because I live in an area that is located close to

Filip Hrebenda

Slovak national parks and beautiful mountains, I spent a lot of time in them. Therefore, I decided that these places are worth capturing in their full beauty. After a few years, based on several successes, it has become a hobby, a profession I currently live. I am one of the members of the prestigious "Association of Professional Photographers of Slovakia" (APFSR). I also represent several brands in the field of photography (ZEROFilters, CEWE, FocusNordic, Sirui, Vallerret, Lexar and Hähnel). I've been working for years mainly organizing photo-courses and expeditions, which take place both in Slovakia and in several parts of the world. What fascinates me most about this job is that I find myself in really beautiful places surrounded by wildlife. In addition, to transmit their experiences people I directly enjoy "in the field".
