FOUR SEASONS RESORT MAUI AT WAILEA ANNOUNCES MAUI PHOTO EXPEDITION – JUNE 14-19, 2016
Renowned photographers Robert Caplin and Peter Lockley invite photography enthusiasts to join them on a picture-perfect Maui adventure.
Two renowned photographers, Robert Caplin
(New York, NY) and Peter Lockley (Denver, CO) return to Maui to lead a
photographic adventure on the island, June 14-19, 2016, hosted by Four
Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea as part of the luxury Resort’s
Unforgettable Events
series.
After a successful debut in 2015, the
Maui Photo Expedition
workshop will once again consist of on-location shoots, instruction
demonstrations, group editing and critique sessions with all that Maui,
one of the world’s most picturesque natural settings, has to
offer—everything from volcano sunrises and secluded bamboo forests to
spectacular sunsets on black sand beaches. Four Seasons Resort Maui will
serve as home base, welcoming guest participants to luxurious
accommodations and amenities along with a choice of dining in the
Resort’s three award-winning restaurants. Visit

Caplin,
an editorial and commercial photographer based in Manhattan,
specializes in travel, documentary, celebrities and portraiture. A
contributor to the New York Times, Los Angeles Times and Wall Street Journal, his work has also been published in National Geographic, Sports Illustrated, TIME and Newsweek. His celebrity clients include Justin Bieber, Tiki Barber, Victoria Justice, Barry Manilow, among many others.
“Attending
workshops is a key element in the development of any photographer,
beginner or pro. In fact, Peter and I met in a workshop 11 years ago and
began our collaboration there. Experiences like these are a time for
inspiration, creation and exploration and a great way to develop and
refine skills,” says Caplin.
Lockley,
a sports and portrait photographer, works with editorial and corporate
clients to create dynamic and storytelling images. Earlier in his
career, he served as chief sports photographer for the Washington Times. He went on to work with such clients as ESPN the Magazine, the Colorado Rockies, and the NCAA.
“Participants
will come away with a better understanding of light, composition,
exposure, production, editing and printing,” says Lockley. He adds that
participation is limited to create an intimate experience, with plenty
of time for the instructors to work one-on-one with participants. There
also will be time set aside to network with peers and local industry
professionals.
Both photographers know the Hawaiian island
and will take participants to many breathtaking tropical Maui locations
to capture the people, the flora and fauna, sunrises and sunsets,
waterfalls, beaches and forests that make up Maui’s diverse eco-system
and vibrant culture. According to Bob Leston, a participant in the 2015
Photo Expedition Class, “I’ve been there 20 times and I’ve never seen
this part of Maui.”
During
the photo workshop, the participating guests will receive daily
instruction using their own cameras. There also will be time for editing
and reviewing work produced. Timing will vary each day in order to best
utilize the natural light and opportunities of each Maui setting.
Workshop
sponsor, Canon, will set up a sponsored lounge where guest participants
will learn about and have opportunities to try out the latest camera
products—valued at more than $250,000. Other sponsors will be Adorama,
Tenba, and Alii Nui. The workshop will culminate with an evening photo
gallery and reception, featuring the work of the participants. Four
Seasons Resort Maui registered guests will be invited to attend this
reception and view the photography.
“We
are pleased to bring these world-class photographers to the Resort to
help students build their photographic skills while capturing the many
places and faces of Maui. What better way to take home memories to last
a lifetime,” says Jean Claude Wietzel, general manager, Four Seasons
Resort Maui.
Pricing
for the workshop starts at $6,990 which includes all workshop fees and a
five-night stay in a king-size, ocean view room; $3,000 for each
additional participant, up to three staying in the same room.
Participants should arrange to have their own transportation; carpools
may be organized for some location shoots. Reservations will be handled
by Four Seasons Resort Maui through
Maui Photo Expedition website.
