How Do We Define Photo Tours?
Photo tours are generally a lot longer than workshops (10-15 days or even longer is common), and you move around the country or area where the tour is taking place.
The main goal of our photo tours is for you to have an experience of the place you’re visiting, as well as to come home with great photos. You’ll see interesting things, and have the opportunity to photograph locations at the best times of the day (early morning and later afternoon).
- Travel to a new place, sometimes outside your home country.
- For both amateur and professional photographers (on the same tour).
- Photo tours move around the country to a variety of different spots, and transportation is arranged for you (plane, train, bus).
- Specially arranged photo shoots with locals or in unique places you may not be able to access on your own.
- A tour leader and a local guide to tell you about the country.
- Usually include a small to medium sized group of 8-16 people (again do your research, not all tours are equal) With our photo tours we limit the group size to a maximum of 10 people with one photography tour leader and 12-14 with two leaders.
- Most or all of your meals and accommodations are arranged for and included in the price.
- It is usually a pretty packed itinerary designed to show you the best that location has to offer, in the best light, with a professional photography teacher as your mentor to help you get better photos along the way.
- May or may not include image reviews (time and space permitting with our tours).
- NO classroom or lesson time.
- The leaders on our photo tours are there to answer your questions, give you tips, and help you if you are having difficulty. They have visited the place before and have planned the itinerary to take you to the best spots.
Why Photo Tours?
I believe that when you expand your own context of the world, you can’t help but change and grow as a person and as a photographer. To see the world, experience all it has to offer is to truly live to the fullest.
“Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.”
Helen Keller
Our photo tours are designed around the best light, the best locations and more time at each location!
We travel or experience the culture… we learn or relax when the light is harshest and shoot when the light is best. We’ve got custom designed photo tours, for photographers by photographers.
I’m guessing that if you’ve found this page you agree with me and Helen Keller and are up for a little adventure. I’d love nothing more than if you joined me and we shared that experience together for a while.
Come along, let’s explore!
