Photography Workshop: “Bird Photography for Storytelling”

In the heart of Quindío, where the landscapes look hand-painted and birds tell stories with the flutter of their wings, this unique storytelling photography workshop comes to life. Learn alongside Felipe Quintero, a seasoned photographer from Salento with over 20 years of experience and the creator behind @fotografiapalmayniebla, how to capture the essence of the territory, its birds, and its people through powerful imagery.

Over two in-person sessions —one in Salento and another in a nearby nature reserve—you’ll gain the tools to take photos that not only impress visually but also move, inspire, and tell authentic stories.Designed for 20 passionate participants, ya sean aficionados o con experiencia, que deseen perfeccionar su mirada creativa
