The Greek Island Workshops in Photography are led by award-winning pro photographer Glenn Steiner.
Glenn Steiner has explored more than fifty-six Greek islands by sailboat, motorcycle, ferry boat, donkey and sandaled foot. Glenn's love for Greece and all things Hellenic began twenty years ago when he first set foot on the magical island of Santorini.
"The light was extraordinary! All things shifted into greater clarity." To paraphrase Henry Miller in his Colossus of Maroussi, no ugliness could exist in light such as this, only degrees of beauty.
With that first step, Glenn began a journey of study and insight that has taken him to study with Dr. Maria Kotzamanidou of the University of California Berkeley and to San Francisco State University, to focus on the modern and ancient Greek language, their literature, history, movies, art and philosophy.
"The academic experience can carry you only so far. As Plato said in his Dialogues, one must make a choice whether to look at the shadows of the fire, dancing on the cave's wall, or to look directly at the fire itself."
Glenn travels the islands two months a year in search of enlightenment: writing, exploring, teaching and photographing.
The Greek Island Workshops in Photography provides exceptional photography workshops and photo tours in Greece, teaching digital and analog photography with special emphasis on Greek culture, Greek history, Greek art and the Greek language.
Students from beginning to advanced are welcomed.
