Upcoming Workshops
PHOTOGRAPHY WITH NIC DUNLOP
Trainer: Award-winning photographer and writer Nic Dunlop
Dates: 10-15 May 2026
Join us at Le Passe-Temps for five immersive days of photography in one of Southeast
Asia’s most visually dramatic regions. This workshop offers the chance to slow down,
look deeper, and create a stunning photographic story.
Guided by award-winning photographer and writer Nic Dunlop, participants will develop,
shoot, and edit a photo essay built around a subject of their choosing—whether that’s the
lives of sea gypsies in Phang Nga Bay, the rhythm of a local fisherman’s daily work, the
colour and chaos of Krabi’s markets, or a more personal exploration of landscape,
portraiture, or travel photography.
Designed for all levels, the workshop combines hands-on shooting, thoughtful mentoring,
and structured editing to help you produce powerful images and leave with a cohesive
story drawn from an unforgettable experience.
Together with the staff of Le Passe-Temps, we can help you organise your own itinerary
from kayaking to visits to stunning islands with pristine white beaches, to colourful and
busy markets to spectacular landscapes. Sea and nature tours can be arranged
providing unique experiences off the beaten track.

PHOTOGRAPHY WITH NIC DUNLOP
EXPLORING THROUGH PHOTOS
Over the course of the five days, you will come up with an idea for a photographic story,
photograph it and edit your pictures to produce a striking photo-essay of between 10-15
images to be projected on the final evening. Participants will attend slideshows and one-
on-one mentoring sessions covering composition and framing, storytelling, sequencing,
the single image and much more. With more than 30 years’ experience working
throughout the region, Nic will provide you with invaluable insider’s tips and tricks and
guide you through every step of the process.
