Tenerife Photo Tour
Tenerife with its rugged coastal landscapes with its black rocks offers unique motives for long time exposures and the play with water and stones. In the Teide National Park, cooled lava fields and exciting rock formations in the middle of unique vegetation create exciting compositions.
The Canary Islands are located far in the south of Europe, which is why the centre of the Milky Way is almost as high up in the sky as in the southern hemisphere of the earth.
During the photo workshop Tenerife, you will take pictures in the best light moods. That means we are on the road in the early morning and late afternoon and mostly take pictures around sunrise, sunset, dusk and at night for milky way photography.
In between we have time for picture reviews, tutorials and of course, as befits southern Europe, a siesta!
This Tenerife Photo Tour offers extraordinary highlights!
- Grandiose coastal landscapes and sea bays, lava plains, volcanic craters and lunar landscapes in the high mountains, deep green valleys, vineyards, and laurel rainforests provide a colourful variety of photo motives
- Impressive Teide National Park up in the mountains – thanks to low light pollution a paradise for night photography
- Impressive night sky with stars and milky way (depending on weather)
- Countless possibilities to experiment with grey, polarizing and gradient filters
- You will stay t in beautiful and comfortable hotels not far from the photo locations
- Individual coaching and support by the photo workshop leader

The most beautiful impressions from Tenerife.
1
Day 1 – Arrival in Tenerife
Individual travel to Tenerife. We will meet at the airport Tenerife South in the morning. Afterwards the journey begins with a short drive to Santa Cruz in the north of the island.
Depending on the weather conditions, a first photo shooting will take place outdoors today.
2
Day 2 and 3 – Santa Cruz surroundings
From Santa Cruz you will explore the northeast of Tenerife. The Anaga massif is characterised by rugged cliffs and deep ravines that follow each other in close succession. They are all covered by the green mantle of the laurel forest. Here and there, small charming villages interrupt the green landscape.
There is also a beautiful beach in this region, which gives you a feeling of solitude and serenity. The overwhelming beauty around the beach is simply perfect for capturing beautiful landscape shots.
3
Day 4 – Continue to Vilaflor
In the morning we will have another photo session in the region around Santa Cruz. Later we will drive to the south of the island to Vilaflor, which lies at over 1500 meters above sea level.
The Teide National Park is located in the centre of the island of Tenerife, and it is like a huge amphitheatre with a diameter of 15 kilometres. It is the result of countless volcanic eruptions.
Surprisingly, this barren and rugged landscape at a height of more than 2.000 metres is full of plant and animal life. Numerous view points in the national park allow breath-taking views of the island's nature.

Day 5 to 7 – On the road in the region of El Teide
The next few days we will photograph mainly at the edge of the city with the beautiful light of sunrise and sunset. If the sky is clear, you will also capture fantastic photos of the night sky with the milky way. The region around the impressive El Teide is a perfect place for this because light pollution is very low here and the milky way is visible in all its glory.
After breakfast you have free time to relax or explore the surroundings. At noon there is a possibility to eat something small. Afterwards we have time for short tutorials on selected topics (e.g. technical basics, composition, long exposure or the workflow for image editing in Lightroom) or image reviews.
Of course, we will be back in time for photography. Depending on light and weather conditions, dinner will take place before, between or after the photo session.

Day 8 – Journey home
Today the photo workshop Tenerife ends. After breakfast and checking out of the hotel, you will be driven to the airport where you will start your journey home. You will be at the airport in time for flights departing from around 10am.
