PTO 2010 The Programme

Who Attends PTO?
Unlike many courses and seminars PTO has never placed a restriction on who attends. PTO believes that today's amateur photographers are tomorrow's pros and therefore actively encourages non-professionals to attend. Each year PTO has an increasing number of non-professionals and assistants amongst their ranks, so do not feel that if you are an amateur you will in any way feel inferior or be treated differently. All who attend PTO are treated equally.

Many spouses and partners accompany their photographer delegates either to simply holiday and enjoy the great socialising at the end of each day or in many cases register as a delegate to help take in the myriad of information which is available from each workshop or seminar.

Photographic Training in the sun - PTO

The twenty third annual Photo Training Overseas will take place in Antalya on the Turkish Mediterranean coast.

The resort of Lara Beach is a treasure of history and nature located in a sheltered part of the Turkish coast on the Mediterranean Sea and undoubtedly be considerably warmer than in the UK.

The hotel is the Lara Beach. This hotel is quite sumptuous and voted the best all-inclusive spa hotel they have ever visited by almost every guest who stayed there in 2008. We are convinced that these facilities should please even the most discerning!

The hotel facilities include - a stunning reception area, luxurious bedrooms, three pools, including a large indoor heated pool, Turkish baths, sauna massage and fitness centre. Outstanding food selection served from five restaurants - the main international, Italian, Turkish, Yoruk tent and Sunset snack bar.

Internet facilities are also available. There are plenty of other sport and leisure activities, plus great evening entertainment, a kids club, gym, sauna and a health and beauty centre.

The hotel is located just 17km from the City centre of Antalya were there are restaurants, night clubs and plenty of shops. A courtesy bus is provided to the resort centre. The hotel is only 12 km from the international airport with a transfer time of 20 minutes.

The concept of using half the main speakers at the beginning of the week and the remainder in the second half of the week will continue to be employed.

In addition, there will be evening seminars on business marketing and other photography related subjects.
