Many of our Sodha Travelers have expressed an interest in developing their photography skills, particularly in preparation for an exotic trip abroad. You asked and we delivered! We are very excited to be co-presenting a travel photography workshop with Jeff Hinds Photography. Sign up by May 13th and receive an early registration discount! More details can be found below.

Personally speaking, my photography skills are amateur at best. However, I love the challenge of creatively capturing my experiences. I also thank all of you who have sent along your travel photos for me to view. It is truly enjoyable to explore the destinations through a different lens.

I hope to see you at the workshop!

Allison Sodha, DS

Upcoming Event: Travel Photography Workshop

In lieu of a featured tour this month, we are highlighting our upcoming photography workshop!

Are you interested in developing your travel photography skills or enhancing your individual photographic objectives?

Join Sodha Travel and Jeff Hinds Photography for a workshop geared toward all levels of photographers. Travel photography is more than taking a great snapshot of cultural and historical wonders. It is also about improving visual awareness and having a greater appreciation of your surroundings. Jeff will help participants learn more about their cameras and settings, demonstrate how to "see the world through the lens" and use those angles to develop individual photography skills.

Date: June 12th, 10am - 1pm
Location: Downtown Portland
Cost: $115
Early Booking Discount: Register by May 13th and save $20 per participant!

To register, contact Allison directly at 503.718.7839 or allison@sodhatravel.com.

Space is limited, so register today! We look forward to seeing you!
