Why a private workshop? With a private workshop you can get my undivided attention, plus I can take you to locations that are not suitable for large groups, but ideal for 2 or 3 people. The workshop can also be tailored to your needs and interests.
Starts: Friday afternoon 25th April – Once settled in to the hotel, we will head down to Lake Bled for an evening and sunset photoshoot.
Ends: Monday 28th April after a sunrise photoshoot.
Accommodation is included from Fri- Mon (3 nights). We will be staying in the lovely Penzion Mayer, just a 5-minute walk to the lakeside.
Join me, Ian Middleton, for a private Slovenia photography workshop in the stunning alpine region of this amazing country. We’ll visit some beautiful glacial lakes: Lake Bled, Lake Jasna and Lake Bohinj, and travel through picturesque alpine valleys and mountain vistas, visit waterfalls, rapids and gorges. We’ll photograph lovely castles and churches, on lakes, beside lakes and on hilltops, all with magnificent backdrops.
We will be based at Lake Bled. This workshop is timed for spring, During these times the colours in Slovenia are incredible. You can photograph beautiful mountains still possibly adorned in their winter snow covering. Spring is a beautiful time where the landscape is awash with a myriad of changing colours as the land awakens from its winter slumber.
We’ll visit Vintgar Gorge and Pericnik Waterfall where you can learn how to photograph fast flowing water effects, and can also photograph the Bohinj Valley and Julian Alps from a stunning viewpoint.
This workshop will include early mornings in order to catch the dawn and sunrise.

Travel insurance
(Guests must ensure they have their own travel insurance)

Relatively easy but good footwear needed. Most locations and viewpoints are close to where the car will be parked. There will be a fair bit of walking on grassy terrain which could likely be wet and muddy. Good sturdy, water resistant boots are advised.
(If coming from the UK I recommend Easyjet which flies direct from London Gatwick to Ljubljana, or British Airways from Heathrow to Ljubljana. Other nearby airports are Trieste in Italy or Venice, or Zagreb in Croatia. (Otherwise contact me for advice)
Airport parking:
If you are coming from the UK and driving to the airport, here are some useful airport parking websites:
We will be based at Lake Bled. Bled is a 20-minute drive from the airport, or a 30-minute drive from Ljubljana. From Ljubljana airport, or the other airports nearby, I recommend you take the Go-Opti shuttle. Use this code to get a 5 euro discount on your first booking: RFLIBK8ABCQA
Alternatively if you plan to stay longer you might want to hire a car.
In spring the days can be quite mild to warm, but the mornings and evenings colder, so warm clothes. Ideally layers that can remove or put on as we’ll either be shooting before sunrise or after sunset, in the dark, when it will be colder.
Group bookings are available on request.
