Provence 2012
Highlights: lavender fields of the Valensole plateau & Sault, Gorge du Verdon, villages of the Luberon.
Nothing can replace seeing this extraordinary spectacle with your own eyes. A photographic icon that has to be visited at least once in a lifetime. Rows of perfectly manicured lavender, fields of sunflowers, dramatic landscape and colourful villages........a visual attack on your senses!
Above 400 metres grow the famous "lavandin", a man-made hybrid of lavender. They are in full bloom at this time of year and cover the Valensole plateau with only the occasional barn or tree to break up the symmetry. Further west, around Sault, the landscape changes. More undulating, the lavender fields sit comfortably alongside pink sage and long golden grass. Beyond Apt is the Luberon region, home to the colourful Provencal villages of Roussillon, Gordes and Bonnieux. No visit would be complete without seeing the the ocre-coloured buildings and quarry of Roussillon. Lastly, there is the Gorge du Verdon and the spectacular village of Moustier.
We shoot in the morning and late afternoon/evening. The afternoon can be spent looking at your images or simply having a well-earned rest!

My week in Provence was beyond my expectations. Tim is extremely helpful and has great people skills, is enthusiastic and makes sure you get your shot. His knowledge of the area is second to none. I learned lots of good techniques about landscape (and my camera). He goes to great lengths to find the right locations. The workshop was not only good photographically but lots of fun with good advice and tips. I will certainly do more workshops with Tim whenever I can. A great week!

Thanks for a great time in Provence. It was a great experience. It did not live up to my expectations, IT SURPASSED THEM ALL. Many thanks and see you in Venice for Carnival.
