Feel Nature’s Energy

Our photo tour in Namibia will touch on some of the most beautiful locations. We go straight for the dunes in Sossusvlei. We will spend a morning in Deadvlei with its dead trees surrounded by red dunes. We will go to Walvisbay where we photograph the flamingos and go on a boat tour in the cold Atlantic Ocean. We will admire the countless stars in the night sky at Spitzkoppe. Going on we will search for wildlife in Etosha National Park. From Etosha we’ll drive back to Windhoek, stopping on the Waterberg plateau. This 11 day photo tour of Namibia is an amazing opportunity to get back in touch with Nature again.

Experience Nature’s Growth in Tuscany

Next in our photo tour season is spring during our Tuscany Photo Workshop in May 2020. This landscape photography workshop will take you through the famous rolling hills with morning mist and poppies. The green hills and the cypress trees will be patient subjects for our sunrise and sunset shoots. This area is world famous and rightly so for its beautiful landscapes where we can take a step back in time.

What’s in our Nature Photo Tours?

Our Nature Photo tours are designed to take your photography to the next level, and do so through the beauty of Nature. Our tours are in small groups to maximize your learning experience. Our tours are slow paced to really experience Nature. Our tours can be both holiday and adventure, some concentrate on landscape photography, during some we do more photo safari and in a few we combine both on the same photo trip. We have extensive travel experience in the areas of each photo tour.
