The ON1 Destination Workshop in Tuscany, sponsored by www.ON1.com, will be led by Matt Kloskowski and Tamara Lackey. This all-inclusive 5 day and 4 night immersion in photography, exploration, and education is an opportunity you won’t want to miss. The entire workshop will be housed at a centuries’ old villa, Villa Pozzolo in the heart of Tuscany. This artists’ retreat and private villa, surrounded by nearly 100 acres of forest, fields, olive groves and vineyards, will be exclusively rented to our workshop group.
All participants and instructors will stay in private rooms, with ensuite bathrooms, and apartments, all located within the villa property. The workshop focus will be on landscape, portrait and excursion-based photography and will also include daily ON1 post-processing clinics and lab time, as well as a number of wonderful, optional add-ons. As an all-inclusive workshop, all freshly-made, deliciously cooked meals will be included, too, as well as unlimited wine from the villa wine cellar and more.
INSTRUCTORS


Matt is a guy that hates bios written in the third person. He…no wait … I… love teaching and photography :-) In that order. I feel that enjoying photography, and photo editing can get WAY too complicated. So my personal mission (and favorite thing to do), is to create education that simplifies the process of taking great photos, and how to edit them to get the results you’ve always wanted. I’m also very honored to be included in the Photoshop Hall of Fame, and author of over 15 books on photo-editing (Lightroom & Photoshop) and photography.
Tamara is a Nikon USA Ambassador, professional photographer, author and program host – and an individual very comfortable with third person bios. Her authentic photography, from portraits to travel photography, is featured in a myriad of major media outlets, and she has always liked using the word myriad. Tamara has been teaching photography workshops for ten years, and her recent focus includes shooting commercial assignments, primarily camera and lensing marketing campaigns, which has included a presentation of her work at the global launch of Nikon’s mirrorless system in Tokyo.
