In North America, the coastal waters and currents cause a phenomena where the natural world literally becomes a spectacle. For the last decade we have been lucky enough to swim with whale sharks every summer.  This has helped us refine our techniques for having the most amazing experience and getting killer shots and know the exact positioning of how to place ourselves next to these giants for the most incredible experience and chance for a phtoo.  Now we want to share our experience with you with our Del Sol Whale Sharks Photography Workshop.

Learn in the field and post production techniques to create amazing images. The Del Sol Whale Sharks Photography Workshop will take you from the conception of your idea all the way through editing and final presentation.

We also organize personal smaller workshops / experiences for people who aren’t in necessarily in the pro photo field.

Whale shark season availability June – September.  Ideally 2-4 people + Contact us for info. We arrange a private boat, we go out all day on the water and spend 3hrs with the sharks and hopefully bottle nose dolphins, manta rays and other fishes of the sea. This is one of the most unbelievable experiences of anyone’s life. There is a limit of 2 swims per group of 2 people (photographer + 1 swimmer / guest)

Dates are flexible within season. Please Contact us NOW for more info for a personalized quote. We can help with lodging recommendations and will guide an amazing experience with you.
