Glamour & Nude Location Shoot, Dordogne France

Just imagine photographing beautiful girls in the Grounds of a French Farmhouse under sunny skies with the Dordogne countryside as a backdrop, this could be you if you decide to join us.

Since 2004 we have organised highly successful Glamour and Nude photography shoots in the Dordogne, France with beautiful and experienced models.

All the photographers captured many excellent & unique images and also had and good time relaxing around the pool, eating out at local restaurants and drinking local wine in the evenings.

‘Le Castellot’ is the location for the shoot with its excellent Farm House, grounds and Pool this gave lots of opportunities for a diverse range of Glamour and Nude shots.

The Farmhouse Gite's and Barn studio, Grounds and Pool will provide ample opportunities to shoot the models inside and outside also around the pool and terrace gardens.

Take a look at some of the shots from previous years shoots, some photographers who joined us last year have already booked for this years shoot.

Feedback from the previous shoots.

Some comments from the photographers who joined us for last year's shoot.

Just a note to thank you for organising the trip last week. I thought the whole thing went really well, with a good group and two excellent models - and of course, Dave's great location. As the least experienced of the bunch, I learnt a great deal about how a "proper" shoot is conducted and much other stuff from yourself and the others, overall, I am now a much more confident photographer. If you are considering organising something similar in the future, then I would be interested,

It was a great trip and I would recommend it to any budding photographer. I learnt so much from Paul, the other guys and also the models... It was great to work alongside so many good photographers, the farmhouse run by Dave (a very cool dude) was extremely comfortable with plenty of space and so many locations to take photographs.

Greg

Just thought I would drop you all a quick line and say how much I enjoyed the whole thing and meeting you all. I look forward to the reunion and to next year's trip. Paul, cheers for all of your hard work and for arranging everything - and in particular for choosing great models!

Michael

I would like to thank you for a great few days of photography, the farmhouse location was perfect for photography and the accommodation was first class. Both models were very hard working and gave 100% all day long. I was surprised at the amount I learnt about my camera and photography from the other photographer and the models too. Being able to review my photos in the evening and then if necessary re shoot them the next day was a fantastic way to learn by my mistakes in a short time. Thank you once again I have been inspired to re double my efforts.

Dave

Once again a cracking event all round...
