West Cork Photography Breaks

A home away from home is how I would best describe West Cork Photography Breaks. A weekend of nature, photography, food and fun, led and hosted by UK and Ireland based photographer, Celia Bartlett. If you’re a nature lover with an interest in photography this is the perfect getaway for you.

In a gentle, easy-going manner Celia guides you along some of the most scenic places in West Cork to photograph and learn more about this beautiful part of the country. Holding her photography workshops in Spring and Autumn, Celia welcomes you into her home, ‘The Yellow House’ located on Toe Head, Castletownshend, which holds a Fáilte Ireland Welcome Standard for Quality Assurance and its welcome.

One of the fun acivities during a West Cork Photography Break is selecting an image
to submit to to the local paper for possible inclusion in their 'Readers Picture' slot.
Here, one of the spring 2016 participants was successful with her great picture of grey seals.

More Success!!

One of our spring 2017 West Cork Photography Break photographers has done it again.
At the tender age of 7 3/4, our youngest student to date is now a published photographer!
Sam got down to photographing the amazing gooseneck barnacles that can get washed up on West Cork beaches.
He had never used a camera before, and borrowed a great little Olympus E-M10 from us - just the right size for his hands.
This was the picture he chose to submit to the local newspaper for their 'Readers Picture' slot.
You have to admit, he does look rather delighted about seeing it in print and, he wins a canvas print of it too.

 




A great capture of these unusual creatures which get washed up on the beaches
