Camp Workshop 03.05-10.05 2026 - The FOTOGRAFIT Blog

Camp Nakari, The Red Sea, 03/05-10/05 2026

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 with a dedicated group and a skilled teacher at hand, to one of the best-located and easiest setups for doing underwater photography in Egypt, will give you what you never have… time to learn!

If you are at a high level and do not really need the workshop part, you can go anyway. You will have Lars as a sparring partner for your own projects, and before arrival at the camp, we will have a phone meeting and make a plan for your personal project.
Perhaps you´d like to improve your flash skills, be better at wide-angle photography, work with the trim and handling of your setup, or become a better picture editor. All these things Lars can help with. You get a plan and feedback, and during the week, you can adjust your goals if you like. All is open, and due to Lars´s large experience and insight in the photography world, you will be in good company. (besides, being with a large group of other uw-photographers raise the intensity and dialogue about photography, which you are not used to anywhere)

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. Bring a friend or go by yourself. Just go..!

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 more than 30 years and has been an active member of the Scandinavian Underwater Community since he took his first Nikonos underwater.
He began 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 and photo equipment, but also the business behind it.

Today, he runs the business FOTOGRAFIT, selling underwater photo equipment to the European dive community.

Transport to Nakari

So all you have to do is get yourself to the camp and arrive at the time for the start of the workshop.

We also offer a joint flight from Copenhagen (Lars is leaving from here). So if you live in the area, you can join from there and let Lars guide you all the way to the camp (Let us know when you fill out the sign-up form upon registration.)

When you organize your own flight, it is even possible to arrive at a different time or even on a different day if the flight connection from your destination does not align with the start time.
