White Horses of Camargue | 5 Day Photo Tour in France

On day two, we'll head out to photograph the horses in the early morning in the pink salt marshes. This amazing photo shoot will be followed by a short critique and discussion session of the photos we've taken, before we head out into the park once again. This time, we'll continue to sharpen our photography skills as we capture the spectacular foals and mares at sunset.

On day three, we'll spend the sunrise birdwatching in the Camargue National Park. We will have a special access only for our group in this park to have the best light when we see the 340 species of birds that visit this park, the most famous are the pink flamingoes. We'll follow the paths and make use of the observation booths in order to capture these colourful creatures mulling about in their colonies on a small island near Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, which is the only such habitat for these birds in France.

In the afternoon, we'll have another photography educational masterclass and critique session, before we head back into the national park for a sunset session in the classic marshes with the white horses as they move around with their herds, guided by the ranchers.

We'll have two shooting sessions again this day – one in the morning and the other in the evening. In the morning, we will photograph the Camargue bulls which takes place in a natural site between marshes and tall grass . The herd of 15 to 20 free-roaming bulls is led by herdsmen on horseback. The photographers are high on a large trailer pulled by a tractor. This allows you to move to change your point of view without scaring the bulls. It will be a very memorable experience as we even have breakfast with the herdsmen to have the chance to talk to them about their lives.  

In the afternoon, we will focus on landscape photography shooting the pink salt marshes as we make some abstract compositions.

This will be our last day together in France. We will have the sunrise session with the horses on the beach as the finale.  After breakfast, we'll pack our belongings and begin the drive back to Marseille, arriving by around noon. From there, you'll be able to catch your flight home or onwards to your next destination, no doubt with a plethora of new photography skills under your belt and a portfolio of incredible images of the white horses of Camargue.
