Your Photograph Journey
You love photography. You know your camera (or are getting to know it). But you’re still not quite getting the images you want. You’re drawn to the uniqueness of the Bruce Peninsula—the rugged shoreline, the ancient cedars, the forest floor blooming with a wide variety of wildflowers—but your photos just don’t capture the truth of what you’re feeling.
Now, imagine this: You are among a small group of women, all focused on the same thing: making art. We're in the field, side-by-side, sharing a story and finding a new way to see the landscape through a creative lens. You'll stop just capturing a scene and start crafting a narrative.
What You Will Do
This is not a traditional workshop with classroom lectures. This is an adventure for those who are ready to go deeper. Over four days, you will:
Move from Technical to Vision. You'll use the camera you already know to find your unique creative voice and create images with meaningful focus and story.
Move from Solo to Community. You’ll be surrounded by a small group of like-minded women who get it. We’ll share ideas, celebrate each other's vision, and build connections in the field.
Move from Accidental to Intentional. We’ll guide you to the best locations at the best times, so you can focus on composition and technique, and leave with a body of work you're truly proud of.

Your Creative Rebellion Itinerary
This is your roadmap, but we move with the light and the weather. The plan is a guide, not a prison.
Day 1:
We meet in the afternoon in Tobermory, settle in, and then head straight out for our first golden-hour shoot. We’ll cover the Hello Shot—your scene-setter that tells us exactly where we are—and start the journey of seeing the world through your lens.
Day 2 & 3:
We chase the light and landscapes that Bruce Peninsula is know for. We'll get up early for a sunrise shoot to find the magic of the morning light, followed by a well-deserved breakfast. The day is filled with exploring different locations around the park, from rugged cliffs to trails. We’ll take breaks for lunch and an early dinner, then head back out for the ultimate golden-hour and sunset session. You'll learn how to get Uncomfortably Close to your subject, to see Leading Lines, and to find storytelling Moments in a crowded scene. We'll also spend time on Day 2 or 3 reviewing images.
Day 4:
One last early start for a final sunrise session. This is your chance to put everything you've learned into practice and create your Farewell Shot—the image that says goodbye to the trip and hello to your new creative confidence. We’ll share a final breakfast before you head home with a full memory card and a creative fire lit inside you.
Night Skies: We'll be checking the weather for clear skies. If the conditions are right, we'll go out for a night-sky shoot under the stars—a bucket-list experience.

"What an amazing workshop: connecting with nature and my camera. I now have a much better understanding of how to take the pictures I want - the guess work and hoping are gone. Thanks Cobi!" — Heather

“Would I attend another workshop with Cobi? In a heartbeat.”
Meet Your Instructor: Cobi Sharpe
Hellooo, I’m Cobi! I believe the biggest barrier to creating great art isn’t a lack of talent, it’s a lack of a clear path.
My photography diploma taught me the rules, but my passion lies in breaking them. I created Spark Adventure Photography Workshops to help women like you get out of your own way and create art and images that truly feels honest and true to you.
I’ve helped dozens and dozens and dozens of women who feel stuck, overwhelmed, and unsure of what to do next. I’m here to strip away the confusion, build your confidence, and help you find your unique artistic voice in the wild places of this world.

Frequently Asked Questions
I’ve been left behind on tours before. Will I be able to keep up? Yes. Our small, women-only groups are designed to go at your pace. We prioritize hands-on practice over rushing to the next spot. You will not be left behind.
I'm rusty and nervous about my camera. Will I slow others down? Our tours are built for you. We provide patient, one-on-one coaching and focus on simple, jargon-free instruction. This is an ego-free zone.
What if the weather turns? This is Ontario. The weather always turns. We teach you how to adapt your settings and your mindset for changing light and conditions, so you can capture powerful images no matter what the sky is doing.
What gear do I need for this tour? You will need a camera with manual controls (DSLR or mirrorless), a lens, and a tripod. We’ll send a more detailed packing list closer to the tour date, but for now, know that the most important tool you’ll bring is your curiosity.
Is this a beginner workshop? This tour is for the lapsed creative. You have some photography knowledge but you are feeling rusty and uninspired. You’re either photographing in aperture-priority, shutter-priority, or full manual settings. We will focus on creative vision and telling a story with your photos in the field.
