Five days in mountain light

Intensive photography workshops with Marcin Bawiec — from sunrise on the ridge to the Milky Way above the four-thousanders.

For those who want to see deeper

This is not a classic tourist programme, but five days of concentrated work on your own photographic vision. We work in small groups at selected locations in the Valais and Bernese Alps, with time for every shot and every question.

Recommended for advanced amateurs and photographers who want to seriously deepen their landscape, high-mountain and night photography. Basic knowledge of manual exposure is required.

Your field leader

With me in the mountains

I don't teach from behind a desk. I know every location on the programme from my own expeditions — from night bivouacs under the Milky Way to winter ascents on glaciers. On the workshops we work the same way: side by side, in the same conditions, with the same light.

I know places off the beaten track — the best ones, far from the tourist crowds. That's where, in silence and solitude, the purest images are made.

Three times in a row Grand Prix winner of the Mountain Photography Biennale in Jelenia Góra and juror of the competition in Nowy Targ — the most important photography competitions in Poland.

That is why I want to share my knowledge — I have major achievements behind me, and I believe experience only gains value when it is passed on. I don't make postcards. I make art photography — and that is the perspective I want to pass on to you.

Day trips · photo session

One day in the mountains with me

A shorter format for those who can't reserve a whole week — a full day in the Alps with me at one of the selected locations (Chamonix-Aiguilles Rouges, Grimsel, Oeschinensee, Zermatt, Val d'Hérens).

We leave before sunrise, work in the best light, and afterwards sit down over coffee to review the images. During the day I also do a portrait session in a mountain setting — you'll receive a few edited souvenir shots.

  • Full day with Marcin Bawiec (EFIAP), 1–3 people
  • Photo session in an Alpine setting (several edited images included)
  • Individual review of shots and settings on location
  • Location chosen according to weather and season
