Camargue Wild White Horses

So many people across the globe fulfil their life-long dream with us to photograph the Wild White Horses of the Camargue.

You can’t beat the adrenalin rush of this noble breed splashing through the shallow waters of the marsh and lakes.

Action shots, sparring stallions, and gorgeous portraits, under Mediterranean blue skies, make for award-winning photography.

Exclusive shoots, in small groups, led by No.1 Camargue specialist, Serge Krouglikoff, whose international photography career spans over 30 years.

This workshop appeals to Wildlife and Equine photographers alike.

This itinerary is a draft only and is subject to change.

Day 1. Thursday

We will collect you from Montpellier airport for transfer to your charming hotel in the centre of the medieval town of Aigues-Mortes. Take time to unwind, unpack and perhaps explore the streets of the city that lies within the mile-long rampart walls.

At 18h00, we will gather for a welcome drink and briefing meeting.

Day2. Friday

In the morning, we photograph at least a dozen Wild White horses running through the marsh and heading straight towards your cameras. We shoot several drives with the horses running across your field of view. We will also take shots of the ‘Gardians’ (Camargue Cowboys) dressed in their traditional Camargue shirts & hats, trident in hand, surrounded by the herd as well as some close-up portraits of these ‘weathered’ ranchers.

In the afternoon we have another session with the horses running together through the shallow waters of the lakes. After the action, we then take portraits of the horses on their own or in small groups.

Day 3. Saturday

In the morning we photograph the white horses running through the marsh, in a different location. We will also capture the ‘Gardians’ at work herding the wild horses.

In the afternoon we have our final session with the horses in the marsh, with a different composition, up until the sun sets.

Day 4. Sunday

At dawn, we photograph the sparring stallions– this is a unique opportunity to see the White horses entwined at full height, in feisty temperament with their manes flying!

Early afternoon departures to the airport.
