CHASING THE LIGHT : Two Days Of Landscape Photography In Aid Of The Community Chest Fund


 

Discover the Beauty of the Maltese Islands Through Photography

The Maltese Islands may be small in size, but they are blessed with an extraordinary variety of landscapes. From rugged limestone cliffs and dramatic coastlines to secluded coves, historic watchtowers, and breathtaking sunsets, Malta offers endless opportunities for photographers to explore and create.

Photography is much more than simply taking pictures , it's about learning to see, understanding light, and connecting with the landscape around us. With this philosophy in mind, we invite you to join us for an unforgettable two-day landscape photography workshop across some of Malta's most stunning locations.

Together, we will chase the golden light of sunrise and sunset, explore powerful compositions, and learn techniques that will help you elevate your photography to the next level. Whether you are just starting your photographic journey or already have experience behind the camera, this workshop is designed to inspire, teach, and encourage creativity in the field.

What makes this workshop even more special is its purpose. This is a non-profit workshop, and all proceeds will be donated to the Malta Community Chest Fund Foundation. By joining us, you will not only invest in your passion for photography but also contribute to helping individuals and families who are going through difficult times.

Photography has the power to bring people together, inspire positive change, and create meaningful connections. We believe that through our shared passion for capturing the beauty of our islands, we can also make a difference in the lives of others.

Join us as we explore the magnificent landscapes of Malta, learn together, create lasting memories, and use our passion for photography to give something back to the community.

Get ready for an unforgettable adventure across Malta’s breathtaking coastlines! For two days with Experienced Photographers Earl Mallia and Nathan Camilleri , will guide you through iconic locations, helping you capture that perfect light, we’ll dive into composition, focus stacking, and long exposure all while immersing ourselves in the beauty of the islands.

Let’s chase the light together and make every shot something truly special.


Workshop Locations & Techniques

Throughout the weekend, we will visit some of Malta's most beautiful coastal locations, with each destination focusing on a specific photographic technique to help you build both your technical and creative skills.

🌅 Sunrise – It-Taqtija, Delimara

Technique: Long Exposure Photography

We will begin our journey at the dramatic coastline of Delimara, where you'll learn how to use long exposures to create movement and atmosphere in your images. We will cover the use of filters, shutter speed selection, and how to transform crashing waves into beautiful, silky seascapes.

🌅 Sunset – Għajn Tuffieħa & Il-Karraba

Technique: Composition

The iconic landscapes of Għajn Tuffieħa and Il-Karraba provide the perfect setting to explore the art of composition. We will learn how to simplify a scene, use leading lines, foreground interest, and visual balance to create stronger and more impactful images.

🌅 Sunrise – St. Paul's Islands

Technique: Bracketing & Dynamic Range

At one of Malta's most scenic viewpoints, we will focus on exposure bracketing and how to make the most of a scene's dynamic range. You will learn when and how to bracket exposures and techniques for preserving detail in both highlights and shadows.

🌅 Sunset – Red Tower, Mellieħa

Techniques: Composition & Focus Stacking

Our final session takes us to the historic Red Tower, where we will combine creative composition with focus stacking techniques. You will learn how to achieve front-to-back sharpness while building strong compositions that make the most of the surrounding landscape.

Post-Processing Video Included

To complete the experience, all participants will receive an exclusive post-processing video following the workshop. In this session, we will demonstrate our complete editing workflow using one of the images captured during the workshop, covering from RAW processing and exposure adjustments to final refinements.

This gives you the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of how to turn your field captures into finished photographs.
