On Location: Saint Lucia


'The Land, the People, the Light', is Saint Lucia's motto...

Blanketed in lush jungles, edged by luminous white-sand beaches, and crowned by the staggering twin peaks of its iconic Pitons, a UNESCO World Heritage site, Saint Lucia is one of the Caribbean’s most picturesque islands. Capture this stunning tropical scenery and the stories of a vibrant Caribbean culture all while fine-tuning your photography and lighting skills. You'll have a fabulous view of the mesmerizing peaks, rising from the surrounding sapphire waters in a lush explosion of emerald-green splendor from our incredible hotel, Anse Chasnet.

This workshop incorporates a mix of photographic learning and discussion in the classroom, as well as exploration and practice out in the field. Most days include a photo shoot in the field, hands on learning, on location demos, specific assignments to enhance your photographic skills, and  edit-and-review sessions in our designated classroom. The week is capped off by a final image presentation to showcase participants’ best or favorite work taken throughout the week.

 

As a photographer, how can you not be beguiled by an island like this?

FUN FACTS

Strangely enough, St Lucia is the only country in the world named after a woman! The island was named by French colonists in the 1600s after St Lucy, the patron saint of the blind and those with eye problems.

 

70% of the island is covered in rain forests.

 

There are 180 species of birds on the island and scientists have found that 6 are endemic, making this a haven for bird lovers.

 

It was home to pirates. Not only was famed pirate François le Clerc (Jambre De Bois) "Peg Leg", some of the first Europeans to settle in St. Lucia, they also used the island's high vantage point on Pigeon Island to attack the Spanish ships in the mid 1500s. It’s rumored that the pirate Blackbeard not only visited the island but actually buried a few treasure hauls in Vieux Fort, a town in the south of the island. Unfortunately, this was never verified. 

 

St. Lucia has more Nobel Prize Laureate's per capita than anywhere else. The country boasts two winners of the esteemed Nobel prize including Sir Arthur Lewis who received the award for economics and Derek Walcott who won the prize for literature back in 1992.
