Amazing travel experiences…
Took in a tuk-tuk: Great photo opportunities are everywhere.
We love travel. We love the sights, sounds, textures and smells of vibrant cultures. And we see our mission as getting you close to the people, the secret places and the magic moments that ordinary tourists simply don't get to see.
We think beyond the package.
We work with local professional photographers and holiday planners to astonish and delight your eye, looking beyond the touristic obvious for the rare, the unusual, the secret spots and the hidden gems.
We do intelligent travel.
Working with locals, we hand-craft our photo holidays to take you 'deep'. Not just the history, but also the present: the people, the issues and cultural experiences that authentically define a destination.
… designed for maximum visual impact.
No backlight compensation please! Metering off the sky here captures rich sky colour and silhouettes our subjects.
We're travel photographers ourselves, and we unashamedly chase the light. We work backwards from the eye-popping shot opportunities, moving heaven, earth and local hearts and minds to make those magic moments happen.
Planned by and for shooters.
We think like photographers, not like tour guides. Light, ambience, vantage point, the moment itself — we've done everything possible to make it happen. Everything revolves around you and your camera.
Privileged access opens doors.
On most photo tours, we work with local pro photographers who know the land, the locals, the language and the back doors into those rare shot opportunities ordinary shooters never get to see.
Taking your photography to the next level.
Tasty foreground interest, great colours and timing: a use of wide angle that's good enough to eat.
Our photo holidays have a strong learning and discovery element — but we won't waste precious holiday time talking theory in some hotel-room. We take you straight out to where the images are, expanding your camera skills, your handling of shot situations and your personal shooting style.
Professional guidance, tiny groups.
Every Travelshooters photo holiday is led by an experienced travel photographer, who is there to lead, guide, share, tutor, mentor and inspire. Their tips and ideas will transform your shooting. Groups are small: typically just eight amateur shooters per leader.
Any level of photographer.
Whether you're a newbie or a seasoned shooter, we can help you go to the next level. There are no standard lessons because there are no standard photographers: everything is shaped around you and a very small group of like-minded shooters.
We never forget this is a fun photography holiday!
Sometimes you need to suffer for your art… but most of the time you'll be super-comfortable with us.
We don't do dull. Sure, we're camera nuts and we'll talk photography till the camels come home — but these are holiday escapes and vibrant culture experiences, not digital boot-camps. And no, you won't be sleeping with the yaks or washing at the waterhole.
Superb creature comforts.
If you like a bit of comfort, a touch of luxury and hanging out over a beer with new, like-minded friends, welcome aboard. We choose hotels, transport and facilities to meet high expectations, and advise you up front if it may get a little rougher for a night or two.
Do it your way.
If you'd like to change the pace a bit or just fancy flying solo for a while, go right ahead — this is your holiday! Cool pools, friendly bars and a bit of independent sightseeing will help you rest a tired shutter-finger.
