Learn with Lars
The biggest problem with learning Underwater Photography is not having time to practise.
Even when doing a course, there is rarely enough time in the water to try out new techniques or to get comfortable with new settings of your equipment.
Lars has solved the problem.
No matter the level you are at, going wth a dedicated group and a skilled teacher to one of the best-located and easiest setups for doing underwater photography, will give you what you never have… time to learn!
So, are you curious about underwater photography or looking to improve your skills?
A week at Marsa Nakari Dive Camp in Egypt, with Lars will give you a chance to learn, practice, and explore the Red Sea in a relaxed and inspiring setting. It’s a great opportunity to grow your skills and connect with like-minded UW-photographers.
A Unique Learning Experience
This workshop isn’t just about taking pictures—it’s about developing your skills through hands-on experience. With a combination of personal guidance, group instruction, and plenty of time to explore the underwater world. You’ll return home with improved photography techniques and a network of like-minded UW-photographers.
Your teacher
The trip is led by Lars Kirkegaard / FOTOGRAFIT, who is by far one of the most experienced UW-Photo teachers in Europe.
He has been taking pictures underwater for 30 years and has been an active member of the Scandinavian Underwater Community since he took his first Nikonos underwater.
He started teaching photography to other students at the age of 19 and then pursued an education as a studio photographer and later a BSc in graphic arts management.
He has worked with dive publications, dive shows, and dive travels, and therefore has a deep insight into not only photography, photo equipment, but also the business behind it.
Today, he runs the business FOTOGRAFIT, selling underwater photo equipment to the European dive community.
Why Join This Trip?
- Learn at your own pace: We have a plan before we depart to the camp, but there are no strict schedules—dive when you’re ready and take the time you need to get the perfect shot.
- Individual coaching: A pre-trip questionnaire and direct contact ensure we understand your goals before you arrive.
- Diverse diving experiences: Explore house reefs, macro photography spots, and breathtaking dive sites like Dolphin House and Elphinstone Reef of your own choosing.
- Photo review sessions: Every other evening, we gather for image reviews, feedback, and inspiration.
- Teaching talks: Lars will give an intro into picture handling/editing in Adobe Lightroom.
- Relaxed atmosphere: This is a stress-free environment where you can focus on photography, connect with fellow divers, and enjoy the beauty of the Red Sea.
Fly from your own country
What makes Marsa Nakari truly special is its peaceful atmosphere and close connection to nature. Tucked a little further south—just 18 km from Marsa Alam city, 78 km from Marsa Alam Airport, and 291 km from Hurghada Airport—it offers a quieter, less crowded alternative to more visited destinations.
You do not have to fly with the group from Copenhagen.
We can remove the cost of the flight ticket from the trip price, so you can book your own flights and arrive at the same time or earlier than the main group. It is even possible to arrive at a different time or even on a different day. But note that transfers to the camp will then involve an extra fee.
Transfers to the Nakari are from Hurghada or Marsa Alam airports, where the Red Sea Diving Safari driver will meet the guests outside the terminal building.
Hurghada Airport to Nakari – 4 hours
Marsa Alam Airport to Nakari – 1 hour
If you wish to join the photo trip but would like to book your own flight, just let us know upon booking, and tell us what time you would like to be picked up. The drivers are very flexible.
If you wish to talk over this option, just drop us an email: workshop@fotografit.eu
