Tenerife Landscape Photography Workshops 10 hours

I joined Detlow's photography tour of the Anaga Mountains and came away with far more than a memory card full of images. Communication before the trip was clear and friendly — I knew exactly where we were going and what to expect. On the day we covered the laurel forest and the coastline at Playa del Benijo, two completely different shooting environments, and Detlow had clearly planned the route around light rather than convenience. What set the day apart was how much he actually teaches. He's not just a driver who knows nice viewpoints — he understands the technical side of photography and explains it in a way that sticks. He talked me through reading the light, choosing settings for tricky contrast, and composing a scene rather than just pointing the camera at it, and he adapted all of it to my level and my gear. He gave feedback on shots in the moment and was patient throughout. The snack during the break was a genuinely nice touch. If you're visiting Tenerife and want to come home with photos you're actually proud of — and understand why they work — book with Detlow. Highly recommended.

Detlow had great communication and called the day prior to arrange things and take any special requests. In the field we shared equipment and he showed his process for setting up images and taking the shot. Detlow is friendly and patient. Once we got down to the beach the really spectacular images became apparent. The workshop included a nice snack and the location selection was excellent. Over lunch we reviewed some images and discussed them. We got along so well and had such an enjoyable time that I booked a second day with Detlow so we could explore more places and work through further composition techniques. The second day was just as exciting for the location and shooting opportunities. As I also love to shoot on my own Detlow offered suggestions for other locations to explore -- one of which yielded one of my favorite shots in years. Detlow and I have worked on editing our photos at home and have a video conference scheduled to discuss our edits and share techniques as well. Overall this is well worth the money as you'll end up with some excellent photos, teaching, and a good mentor.
