📸 PHOTOGRAPHY JOURNEY: TENERIFE 2027
Date: 7–15 January 2027
Capacity: Maximum 6 photographers + 2 instructors
Join us on a volcanic island where, within just a few hours, misty laurel forests give way to lava fields, black beaches and the snow-covered slopes of Mount Teide.
Tenerife in January is an island of contrasts — a lush and humid north, a dry and dramatic south, and Teide in the centre, creating its own weather.
This photography journey is designed for those who want to slow down, experience the landscape and look for strong, timeless images rather than simply collect postcard views.

🛠️ WHAT TO EXPECT & WHAT TO BRING

Soft diffused light in mist, long exposures of surf and lava pools, and minimalism in volcanic landscapes.
