Portrait de présentation du photographe BFO Photographie à Nouméa, en Nouvelle-Calédonie

Workshops · Nouméa, New Caledonia

Learn to see, then to photograph.

Short, hands-on workshops, solo or in a small group, out in the field in Nouméa: understand your camera, read the light, compose, and for the curious, dive into underwater photography. Programme and price on request, adapted to your level.

How it works

Simple, practical, at your pace.

  1. 01

    We talk

    You tell me your level, your gear and what you want to learn. I send a programme and a price within 24 hours.

  2. 02

    We practise

    Little theory, lots of field work: you shoot, I correct right next to you.

  3. 03

    You leave with

    Your settings, a cheat sheet and a critical eye on your images. And the urge to do it again.

Frequently asked

Before you start.

Do I need a professional camera?

No. A DSLR, a mirrorless, a compact or a recent phone is enough for the beginner workshop. I can lend a camera for the underwater workshop.

How many participants?

One-to-one, or a small group of 2 to 4 people so everyone gets time.

How much does it cost?

It depends on duration, number of participants and location. Ask for the programme: I reply with a clear quote within 24 hours.

Where do the workshops take place?

In and around Nouméa: beaches, city, lagoon. We choose the place together according to the theme and the weather.
