Tuition on composition, aperture and all photographic aspects included.

Secrets of the Wiltshire Landscape Photography Tour
‘Here is the heart of our Island... The fibres of England unite in Wiltshire’. Novelist EM Forster made a good point. Wiltshire’s landscape encompasses quintessential scenes, the best of both southern and south-west England. The county has rolling chalk hills, exquisite Cotswold villages, England’s greatest landscape garden and quirky white horses, together with the world’s largest and most famous stone circles at Avebury and Stonehenge. There is much to delight the photographer here. Yet compared to other parts of the West Country, most of Wiltshire remains relatively little known. On this tour I will share its secrets.
Snowdonia in Spring Photography Tour
Eryri (Snowdonia) is the largest national park in Wales. At its heart are the highest and most extensive mountains in the British Isles outside Scotland. We will be visiting in a special week of the year when the landscape is fresh green and trees are vibrant with newly formed leaves. This tour will enable you to (literally) take your spring landscapes to the next level.
Otters, Eagles and Seabirds: Isle of Mull Wildlife Photography Tour
Renowned for its wildlife, the Hebridean island of Mull is the best place in the British Isles to enjoy some of our most iconic species. Here you can find magnificent white-tailed sea eagles taking fish from the water, herds of red deer in mountain glens, playful otters foraging along the shoreline and dolphins leaping at sea. The nearby island of Lunga is one of the finest seabird colonies in Britain, home to abundant puffins, guillemots, razorbills, shags and fulmars amongst many other species. Together, Mull and Lunga offer the most engaging, exciting and spectacular wildlife photography experience in the British Isles today. This exceptional eight-day tour provides exclusive accommodation, gourmet dining, two expert guides and five boat trips for eagle and sea bird photography.
Bustards, Butterflies and Barn Owls: Wiltshire Wildlife Photography Tour
Wiltshire’s exceptional cultural heritage is well-known but the county’s natural heritage equally deserves attention. You are more likely to see charismatic species such as barn owls, brown hares, adonis blue butterflies and burnt-tip orchids in Wiltshire than anywhere else in Britain. With superb downland and woodland habitat, Wiltshire is a top county for butterflies; our 45 species represent over three-quarters of the British total. Salisbury Plain is the wild heart of Wiltshire, somewhat resembling rolling savanna. Fittingly, the Plain has its very own big game; great bustards are the world’s heaviest flying birds, now roaming freely after 170 years’ absence. On this tour you will be guided by several of Wiltshire’s top wildlife photographers.
