From snow to desert - tips and tricks for successful travel pictures | Thomas Adorff for Tamron

Live shooting contribution as part of our photo days

Thomas Adorff

The particular challenge and at the same time the greatest attraction of travel photography lies in its diversity. Within a very short space of time, photographers encounter a wide variety of motifs and situations: from snow-covered landscapes to dusty desert landscapes. In this workshop, Thomas Adorff shows how to take exciting and atmospheric pictures even under changing conditions.

He reveals why he usually only uses a single Lens when traveling: the versatile Tamron 18-300. Whether in snow, sand or storms - this zoom lens reliably accompanies Thomas and allows him to concentrate fully on the moment. Using numerous examples from his travels to favorite places, he reports on how this Lens has changed his photographic approach and increased his creative freedom.
Participants receive valuable tips and tricks to capture their own travel experiences authentically and impressively - no matter where the journey takes them.
