In addition to itineraries designed specifically for photography and instructors, guides, and drivers chosen especially for our photographer clients, we go a step beyond. You will have personal pre-trip communication with Greg Basco to ensure that you bring photo gear adequate to meet your photo expectations. There's nothing like having a local professional photographer as your personal trip consultant. And Foto Verde clients are friends for life. We love to hear from you after your trip and if at any time we can offer advice on future gear purchases or just a refresher on photo techniques you learned on your Costa Rica trip, it's our pleasure!
Our Costa Rica workshops mix fantastic photo opportunities, a pleasant group environment, and personalized instruction to help you master your camera's functions so you can explore your own artistic vision of Costa Rica. We also offer customized tours for individuals and small groups. Let us take care of everything from the time you step off the plane so that you can concentrate on photography!
INTRO TO RAINFOREST PHOTOGRAPHY 2012 W/GREG BASCO & DENNIS GOULET - This brand new workshop is designed for those starting out in photography but with a desire to learn to use their equipment in new and exciting ways to capture the essence of the rainforest.

You'll return home with a colorful portfolio of tropical nature images and an expanded photographic toolbox.
