TESTIMONIALS

They took part in a Camargue horse photography workshop with Patrice, and here is what they thought of it

Bernard Crampon ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (SPAIN)

2 months ago

Patrice Aguilar is not only a great professional photographer with over 25 years of experience photographing horses and their environment, but also someone who will share his knowledge with you when you need it most. It's also important to highlight Patrice's flexibility during photo sessions, for example, by changing locations in case of inclement weather.

This is thanks to his personal relationships with the ranchers who rent us the horses for the photo shoots. Patrice is also excellent in terms of organization, outside of photography.

He's attentive to every detail and always willing to help.

We could also mention his cheerful nature. I've known Patrice for many years, and I never tire of returning to the Camargue with him.

Bonnie forrest ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (USA)

I’ve attended many photography workshops over the years, and this experience was truly exceptional. Patrice has a rare ability to meet each participant exactly where they are, whether you’re just starting out or have been shooting for years.

What stood out most is his approach: never intrusive, always available. If you want space to explore, he gives it. If you’re ready to push your skills further, his guidance is precise, thoughtful, and immediately impactful.

The entire week felt thoughtfully curated, from our gracious and welcoming hosts at the hotel to the rhythm of the morning and afternoon shoots.

Unlike anything else I’ve attended, and an experience that meaningfully elevated my photography.

Lisa Moore ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (USA)

I signed up for this intensive workshop for the opportunity to photograph horses running on the beach and stallions play-fighting each other. Our group came away with hundreds of amazing images but what really sticks with me is the experience of getting to know the horses over the course of the week.

We had one afternoon with my favorite herd that included a mare and her 2-3 month old foal. The interaction was priceless ! Patrice has perfected his horse photography with these amazing creatures for many years and his expertise (and patience) is legendary.

You won't find a better guide to lead you through the experience of the White Horses of the Camargue. I hope to have an occasion to come back for another week soon.
