SPAIN 5-10 NOVEMBER 2026

DESCRIPTION

We'll spend five days searching for golden eagles, and much more, in a truly evocative and predominantly mountainous landscape. We'll travel through northwest Spain in search of these fantastic birds, and we'll also have the opportunity to photograph other birds of prey present in the area, including the black and red kites, goshawks, griffon vultures, common vultures, buzzards, and occasionally even foxes.

In the evening, once the photo session is over, we'll relax over delicious local dishes at our hotel and have the opportunity to discuss the shots taken during the day.

A photography workshop focused on the places where there's a high probability of spotting golden eagles. You'll be guided by professional photographer Alessandro Di Modica and a local guide, and I'll share my experience and expertise in the world of wildlife with you.

EVENT DESCRIPTION

This photography workshop takes place in the stunning setting of Spain, where we will spend five days in a cabin in close contact with nature, admiring and photographing the vast array of wild animals that inhabit these mountain ranges. We will be fascinated by the extraordinary beauty of the landscape, offering evocative locations where we can spot Spain's fauna and birdlife. I will share my photography expertise to offer an intense, informative experience, with the utmost respect for nature. We will leverage our local knowledge to provide the highest level of photographic quality, carefully studying every lighting situation and shooting angle.

Our photography journey will focus west of Madrid, where, with the help of a local guide, we will spend five days in a cabin, from morning until sunset. We will have the opportunity to focus on the area's birds of prey, but especially, we will have the opportunity to spot the golden eagle in all its glory.

It will be incredible to get up close to their natural environment, admire the many animals that inhabit the park, and have the opportunity to capture stunning environmental shots or portraits. My workshops will cover the basics of wildlife photography, discussing the landscape and how to take advantage of every hour of light. You will be guided from camera settings to the actual shooting. We will then compare our shots and discuss post-production, where I will reveal some secrets for optimizing our photographs, with a particular focus on file customization, detail optimization, light and contrast management, and color correction.

The purpose of these events is to train you through my experience, leaving you with enough knowledge to cultivate this passion anywhere and with excellent photographic results. The workshop will begin with an initial theoretical explanation to prepare and introduce participants to nature photography, explaining compositional rules, photographic techniques, tips, and everything else needed to create quality photographs.

With the support of a professional photographer, you will have the opportunity to refine your photography skills, discovering the best techniques to capture impactful images. Every click of the camera will be a dive into the wild world, an indelible memory of an intensely lived experience. During the workshop, you will not only learn to take extraordinary photos, but also to observe and understand animal behavior, thus enriching your connection with nature.

Get ready to live a unique experience in the heart of Spain! This photography workshop is designed for those who want to capture the magic of wildlife, in one of the most evocative natural environments in Europe. By participating in this nature photography workshop, you will discover with me how to behave in the field to obtain impactful and natural photographs.

The photo sessions will be held in the hut, from early morning until sunset, with a short lunch break, so as to immerse ourselves in a unique experience, in close contact with nature. The sessions will keep us busy in the field from morning to sunset.
