I’ve been looking for an excuse to visit the South Pacific and this photo themed cruise sounds like the perfect opportunity. Read on for details…

Paul Gauguin Cruises invites guests aboard the m/s  during the August 7th sailing to Tahiti and the Society Islands, as well as the August 14th sailing to the Society Islands and Tuamotus, to participate in a learning opportunity that covers an incredible range of photographic challenges and lessons through an elite photographic tour of the paradise that is French Polynesia. 

Celebrated photographers Jesse Kalisher and Roger Paperno and accomplished graphic designer and artist Helen Kalisher share their knowledge about their art as they lead an unparalleled photo-expedition that covers everything from tropical flowers and white-sand beaches to magnificent views of Cook’s Bay, Mt. Rotui, and an ancient Tahitian stone temple.

The course will cover every aspect of photography on islands that deliver one amazing photograph after another.  

Through the photography-themed sailings, participants will learn how to:

• capture movement when photographing local flora
• use a wide-angle lens or a telephoto lens
• to add perspective
• find the perfect shot
• capture the majesty of this spectacular landscape
• control light to create beautiful portraits in magnificent settings
