"Andy has been a fantastic photo guide for us on four occasions...and even when he couldn't be there, ensured we had the trip of a lifetime to the Serengeti."
"We simply book everything through him! His knowledge of the area and the fact you know he's been there and worked on his own just stands him out"
"I wish he'd do more trips! but the ones I've been on have been life-changing"
One of the most exciting parts of nature photography is the necessity to travel to wonderful, natural locations. With that in mind, we organise tours to some fantastic places in search of life-changing photographic possibilities!
My ethos for organising any photographic adventure is simple: it must be a dedicated, completely focused experience, and not one that is simply claiming to be. I want you to get the best possible opportunity for securing that “once in a lifetime” shot, as well as have a great holiday at the same time!
Having spent 30 years working as a photojournalist and wildlife photographer, I got very disillusioned with how I saw photographic groups being organised by others when I was on location. It seemed to me that many - not all - photographers had little or no experience of the location they were leading in (how therefore can they predict the movements and behaviour of the species in front of you?!); they were staying in non-optimal locations (perhaps an hour from a park gate, for example, as opposed to directly in the heart of the action); and it seemed that for many the only time these photographers were actually travelling overseas was when they were leading trips....not on their own work; as such, guests were simply subsidising holidays and shoots and getting very little in return.
For me, this was not how it is meant to be. I decided therefore to essentially set out a blueprint for how a trip should work, geared around:
- location,
- timing,
- space to work,
- advice/tuition, (either during or before)
- excellent on-ground guides and trackers
I hope that many that have already travelled with me in the last few years - either on a group with me, with one of my peers or on a trip we've organised for you, will testify to that fact. I guess that clients from four continents probably attest to that.
Let us design the perfect photo-adventure for you!
