Zoom Call with Nick & Jessica (Winter Light Photo Retreat) December 7 - 14
VirtualSchedule a Zoom call to learn more about Winter Light in Umbria, a one-week photography retreat in the medieval village of Vallo di Nera led by photographer Nick Kelsh. This is not simply a photography workshop. It is an immersive winter experience in one of Umbria’s most beautiful stone villages, where the pace is slower, the light is softer, and everyday life becomes part of what we photograph. During the call, we can talk through the retreat experience, the village setting, the photography approach, accommodations, meals, travel logistics, and what to expect during a December week in Umbria. You’ll learn how the retreat blends daily shooting, in-the-moment guidance, shared meals, village walks, firelit evenings, and the chance to photograph real moments as they unfold. This is a good opportunity to ask questions, meet your hosts, and see whether this small-group retreat is the right fit for you.
