Common Questions
Quick answers about photo tours, skill levels, and getting started
I lead small-group photography tours to carefully chosen destinations where the light, landscapes, and culture create outstanding photo opportunities. Each tour includes on-location guidance, composition coaching, and post-processing sessions. Groups are kept small (typically 3 to 8 participants) so everyone gets personal attention. Some tours are also designed for couples where only one partner photographs, combining photo sessions with shared sightseeing.
My tours welcome all skill levels, from enthusiastic beginners to experienced photographers. You can shoot with any camera, including a smartphone. What matters most is curiosity and a desire to improve. Many participants join solo, as couples, and leave with new friends.
That's exactly why I created a tour format for couples with mixed interests. On these trips, I co-lead with a destination expert who handles logistics and local connections: mornings and evenings are dedicated photo sessions for those who want them, while the rest of the day everyone explores together. Your partner gets a great travel experience, you get dedicated shooting time, and you share the best parts of the trip. Our Morocco tour sold out in 10 days with mostly couples, so the format works. See upcoming tours.
I have led photo tours in 15+ countries, including Iceland, Cappadocia (Turkey), Prague, Peru, Myanmar, the American Southwest, and more. Destinations are selected for their photographic potential: dramatic light, rich culture, and landscapes you won't find on a typical tourist route. Browse current tours.
Yes. In addition to scheduled group tours, I offer private on-demand tours that can be tailored to your dates, pace, and photographic interests. Private tours are available in Prague and select international destinations. Get in touch to discuss options.
