Concepts such as facing your shadow to find the best light, or stretching your arms to your left and right to discover where to face for the most intense polarization effects.
Your Private Photo Tour starts long before you even leave for Saint Lucia as Kirk will arrange for a photography consultation with you via Zoom. In this consultation he will inquire about your level of photography – beginner, intermediate or advanced. He will help your explore what exactly drives your passion for photography, what are your biggest photography challenges, what are the single most important things you wish to achieve from your day out with him … and so much more.. Armed with this information Kirk will then develop an itinerary that will not only help you take your photography to a whole new level, but he will also take you to some choice locations so you can capture images worthy of framing and hanging on your walls. So not only will you have an amazing day out with Kirk, but you will also have the pictures to prove it!
