Roger and Jenny Stowell have been running Camerahols since 2006. Camerahols aims to provide a relaxing holiday, with a strong emphasis on good food and wine, whilst helping you to improve your photographic skills.We cater for all levels of ability, from a novice who wants to understand their new camera, to an experienced photographer who wants to brush up on Photoshop skills or look at a particular area of photography in greater depth. Each course has a maximum of 4 people, ensuring individual attention. There are opportunities to learn about still life and portrait photography, as well as roportage and landscapes. Roger has spent a large part of his career as a food photographer, so he can offer good advice in this specialised area. Above all, this is not a schoolroom scenario. The courses are run in a very relaxed way in order for you to enjoy your holiday. There's no reason why you can't learn about digital photography with a glass of wine in your hand! Roger Stowell is a professional advertising and editorial photographer, with a career spanning over 25 years. He and Jenny moved from London to France in 2001. See www.rogerstowell.com

After a peaceful "petit dejeuner" at your chambre d'hote, Roger will collect you and drive to one of many interesting locations for a morning of practical photography and tuition. Lunch is important at Camerahols.   We eat at a different, carefully selected restaurant each day. Then it's back to base to look at pictures and learn some Photoshop. You could equally sunbathe or go for  a country walk - it's up to you. At around 6.00pm we gather for  drinks before a 4 course gourmet dinner with wines at around 8.00pm. see menu
