Tenerife, the largest island of the Canary Islands, lies approximately 62 miles (100 kilometers) off the coast of Morocco in the Atlantic Ocean.

Accessible by a roughly three-hour flight from every major European capital, it stands as one of the most diverse islands globally. From its towering volcanic peaks to verdant forests, dramatic cliffs, and pristine golden beaches, Tenerife provides limitless opportunities for self-discovery and inspiration.

Only four workshops available for a limited group of five

Over the course of one week, participants will join a group of passionate artists, whether amateur or professional, to explore the beauty of Tenerife island with Sebastien Zanella.

Each day will include action or lifestyle photoshoots, followed by time for feedback and daily editing.

There will also be opportunities for relaxation and discovery, such as learning to surf or engaging in other educational activities.

On the final day, participants will come together to review the work created during the week, envisioning how their future work will unfold.
