Why Travel Photography 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 travel 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. It’s a custom designed travel tour, by photographers for 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!
