Photographers Without Borders: Intro to Photodocumentary Workshop in Costa Rica

Photographers Without Borders is a registered not-for-profit organization which provides opportunities to tell the stories of people, wildlife, innovation, and empowerment by working with nonprofits and NGOs around the world. We provide a chance to travel in order to capture and document the amazing places and people in the world. 

Our Intro to Photodocumentary Workshop is the perfect chance to develop your photography skills in a beautiful country with access to unique locations. The opportunity has a lot to offer as you get to volunteer your time to a meaningful cause, spend quality time outdoors, and capture new memories along the way! Participants will interact with baby sea turtles through a local conservation project, hike through lush forests, refresh in cool rivers, relax in hot springs, and admire the diverse wildlife and scenery.
