The Austrian Lake District, also known as the Salzkammergut, is an incredibly beautiful region that boasts some of the most stunning landscapes in Europe.

This tour is tailor-made for those who love to capture the beauty of nature through their camera lens. You’ll have the opportunity to explore and photograph some of the most breathtaking scenery in Europe, while also immersing yourself in the rich history and culture of the region.

One of the highlights of the tour is the Hallstatt village, a UNESCO World Heritage site that’s nestled in a valley surrounded by majestic mountains. With its charming houses and picturesque church, it’s no wonder that Hallstatt is one of the most photographed locations in Austria.

Another must-see location on the tour is the Wolfgangsee, a stunning lake that’s surrounded by rolling hills and mountains. Here, you can capture the reflections of the surrounding landscape in the crystal-clear water and create truly breathtaking images.

Your tutor for this workshop is Paulo Silva. Paulo is one of Portugal’s finest and most sought-after photographers. Paulo has a passion for landscape and nature photography, concentrating the majority of his work in Portugal’s Ria de Aveiro. Being a master at using his camera and working with colors and contrasts, he stays away from Photoshop, preferring to use filters when necessary to achieve the ideal balance of light and motion.

For him, the philosophy of “get it right in the camera” certainly applies. In 2015 Paulo created a course in IFP at the Portuguese Institute of Photography. His award-winning photographs have been published in national and international magazines and featured in gallery exhibits.
