The Photography Master Retreat, one week in a remote hamlet in the south of France, is the only workshop where photographers are guided by three mentors to reflect on their work and its meaning.
The Photography Master Retreat , founded in 2015,
will be held in person from June 21 to 28, 2025.
The Photography Master Retreat mentors are dedicated to bringing their experience and insider knowledge of the complex world of professional photography to help established and emerging photographers refine their personal vision, reframe their projects and re-orient them to take their work to the next level.

AN exceptional retreat.
A retreat is a refuge, a sanctuary, a hideaway, a haven. It is also a departure, a different approach, an adventure, a leave-taking, the beginning of a journey, a change from the usual or expected path, a definite time spent away from one’s normal life.
