Responsible Travel Policy
We consider it a huge privilege to be able to visit the world’s wild places and at all times endeavor to respect local cultures, the natural beauty and fragile environments.
Our Approach to Teaching Photography
Our approach is as individual as the participants who join our photographic workshops and holidays. We pride ourselves in being able to offer a range of teaching models to cater for each participant’s differing degree of experience and commitment to photography. We will always endeavour to teach at whatever level is required.
