Photo tour / Training for Moroccans

I had several discussions with Moroccans fan of photo, who were interested in our photo tours, but of course, the price, targeted to our usual customers, was a big problem.

So, after some thinking, I arrived to a formula where we can offer a training for the very special price of 2.000 dirhams for six days.

How can we achieve that ?

First, instead of doing a tour, which would imply having to 4WD, we stay in one place, Marrakech. No car rental.

Then, because we offer this opportunity to Moroccans, which means people who might have family or friends, we offer no accommodation, instead of our usual riad lodging. If you need it, we can help you in finding rooms in good-price hotels, but you support the cost.

And we also don't support the cost of food. We can get pizza delivered, shawarmas, go out and eat tajine, whatever, but everyone, including the "teacher", will pay for his own food.

That's why I call that a training and not a tour.

The last change to the official program will be no professional model, nor make-up artist. The portrait shots will be make with the participants as models, in turns.
(Which is also good... being a model is a good lesson in how to direct one later on).

All the rest of the program remains the same. You can see the details in the descriptions of our tours :

• Photography in Morocco
• Landscape photography in Morocco.

I find this pretty a good deal, a week of training, a session in a monument (where you need special authorization), studio material, learning reportage, still shot, portrait...

Special conditions :

• Minimal number of participants : 8. If we have fewer people, the event will not take place. Maximum number : 12, for an efficient communication.
• If we don't reach the 8 participants, the people interested will have the choice between cancelling, or decide to pay more, and make it happen anyway.
• Payment in advance. If the training is cancelled, everything is reimbursed at the date the cancellation decision is taken. If it is the participant who cancels, he is not reimbursed - except if he finds someone to replace him.
• To get the authorization to have a team shooting inside monuments, it takes time (and money), we need a month. So, registration of the 8 participants should be reached at that time, which means by now the 10th of September the latest.
• Copy of residency card or CNI to be provided at registration (it's my way to check you are entitled to this very special price).

That's it. My goal here is not to make profit, just to pay for the expenses, and provide and opportunity which is difficult to get by oneself (just the price for shooting inside a monument is between 6.000 and 20.000 dirhams). I did my best to offer something at a very good price, but not cheap : we compromise on the "conditions", not on the content.
