Testimonials

A great workshop led by an energetic, knowledgeable and passionate photographer. She managed the personalities and levels of interest incredible well. The workshop was well planned, with diverse activities and time to photograph in groups and individually. Magdalenas’s contacts in the Delta, were a real highlight. The workshop was well organized, and despite the delta culture of maybe on time maybe not, we accomplished so much. The amount of organization and preparation were amazing. Even the dog rescue at the end was an amazing education in not giving up when you feel strongly about something. I am incredibly impressed. What I learned and felt and saw and experienced will take weeks to process. If then, in short, I followed my intuition into this Delta workshop, and I am glad I did. Thank you.

Thank you so much for a wonderful experience. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Not only was I already impressed by your photography - it was very clear that you were love by the people you had met in the Delta over the years. All I know is that if I can incorporate, in some small measure, those two virtues in my life, I will be a happy man.

Magdalena is very dedicated to teaching her students and to the Mississippi Delta. She has been to this area many times. It is very clear that she loves the Delta and it’s people. Her critiques are very constructive and were of great benefit to me. I learned, not only from Magdalena, but also from others participating in the workshop

I signed up for the Magdalena Sole Delta workshop not knowing what to expect. I am not a documentary photographer and I was concerned I wouldn’t fit into the group. My first meeting with Magdalena instantly put my concerns to rest. She is not only a truly inspired photographer, she is open minded to all kinds of photography. Her teaching allowed me to see The Delta in an inspired way. I made new photographs I would not have seen without her input and help. Her method of teaching and excitement to look at photographs have made this workshop a wonderful experience. I would take her workshop again, with new eyes and ways to see.

I came to this workshop not knowing what to expect. I leave, not only with a deeper understanding about photography, but also about myself. The professional and personal wisdom imparted by Magdalena spoke volumes to us all that will be long remembered.
