In the process, we'll encourage you to seek your own vision, teach you how elements of composition and the magic of light work in concert to make wonderful photographs. This is a location that you may want to share with your spouse or significant other. They are always welcome at our workshops and instantly become part of our group. For them, there are also additional activities such as horseback riding, kayaking, swimming, hiking, chocolate making, and medicinal plant walks. Of course, we can partake in these, too! Because we are headquartered in a small, intimate lodge, we only have room for 10 participants (plus spouses and guests), so it is really important to book your cabana early and make your deposit if you want to join us during this special week. In fact, February was fully booked last year, thus the urgency in making your deposit early! In the Mayan villages, we'll be invited into people's homes, and with English being the language of Belize, you will have no trouble communicating with these lovely people. You'll see them in their traditional dug-out canoes on the river or their children scampering alongside you as you enter a village. The Mayan people near the lodge still live as subsistence farmers in small villages of 15–30 families. While it may seem like nothing has changed for hundreds of years, as you observe, you’ll see various outside influences at work, such as the men's clothing, childrens' school uniforms, and the occasional gas stove. The villagers mostly live in board houses with thatched, palm-leaf roofs. Some families are still cooking tortillas and roasting cacao over traditional mud fireplaces with comals, round, cast-iron griddles. Most families are still making corn tortillas in the traditional manner by hand. You’ll see this, including stacks of dried corn, husking, boiling, grinding, shaping the tortillas, and cooking them in some of the homes that you’ll visit.
This will be a great place to really learn how to use your small strobes or on-camera flash to really capture the people and culture of this region of Belize. We start out with some technical information before heading out for our first afternoon of photography. Our workshops include the following:
