Join us on an extraordinary photographic journey to Rapa Nui, where time is whispered through the stone lips of the moai, and the ocean’s breath sculpts a land both ancient and mysterious. This is not merely a workshop—it is an odyssey through light and legend, guided by the keen eye of acclaimed photographer Guy Wenborne.
For six unforgettable days, we will explore the island’s most iconic sites and its hidden corners, places where history still hums beneath the earth. The volcanic terrain, the rhythmic dance of waves against basalt cliffs, and the star-strewn skies will serve as our canvas. From golden dawns casting long shadows over silent statues to the deep blues of twilight embracing the endless Pacific, this expedition is a symphony of light waiting to be captured.
Here, beneath skies that have guided ancient navigators and over landscapes shaped by fire and wind, we will embrace the timeless dance of shadow and sun. Every sunrise reveals the island anew, as light spills over the weathered faces of the moai, their expressions locked in quiet communion with the cosmos. The Pacific roars in the distance, a constant reminder of the island’s endurance against the infinite expanse of blue. With every step, we will follow the trails of an extraordinary civilization, uncovering whispers of a past both grand and enigmatic.
Beyond the photographic experience, we will immerse ourselves in the island’s cultural heartbeat—stories of survival, celestial navigation, and the secrets of a civilization that defied the vastness of the sea. The Rapanui people, custodians of these sacred lands, will share their knowledge, lending depth to the images we create. With each shutter click, we will capture more than just landscapes—we will seize moments of living history, fragments of a people who have carved their legacy into stone and song.
Through field instruction, personalized guidance, and daily image critiques in the multimedia space of our luxurious base at Explora Rapa Nui, you will refine your technical and artistic skills, ensuring that the images you take home are as unforgettable as the island itself. Whether capturing the fiery embrace of a sunset over the cliffs of Orongo or the quiet magic of a moai silhouetted against the Milky Way, your lens will become a bridge between past and present, legend and reality.
Come walk among legends. Feel the pulse of an island unlike any other. Let the island’s spirit guide your lens. Rapa Nui is calling.
