Private Trip to Morocco

From Ocher to Blue, Street Photography & Narration, Morocco

Between the captivating excitement of Marrakech, an ocher city with lively souks and historic districts, and the captivating tranquility of Essaouira, a blue and white city facing the sea spray, the contrasts are striking.

Join Jack & Carolina on this exceptional photo journey, and embark on the creation of a photographic series with a powerful visual narrative.

This experience will be a unique opportunity to explore the true essence of Morocco: its people. Merchants, fishermen, artisans or simple passers-by will thus become the protagonists of images that we will seek to capture together.
