PHOTOGRAPHY HOLIDAYS. WITH A POINT
We go where it still feels real, then we do it properly: lovely hotels, great food, the right corners, the right timing. That’s what changes everything. You’re not skimming past with a group and grabbing the obvious shot. You’re actually in it. You feel the place, you find your own thread, and you come home with pictures that only you could have made.

“It was a perfect solution for a solo traveller … whilst travelling alone I have never felt alone. I have met some amazing people, the groups are brilliant.” — Sara, Cheltenham.
FAQs
You don’t need a “proper” camera. A phone is absolutely fine. Most people use whatever they already own. The point of the week isn’t kit, it’s learning to notice more and come home with images that feel like your trip. If you do bring a camera, we’ll help you get comfortable with it. If you bring a phone, we’ll help you use it well.
Yes. Beginners are welcome. Most guests aren’t technical, and we keep the teaching calm and jargon-free. You’ll get light help as you go, at your pace, without being put on the spot. If you can use your camera or phone in its basic mode, you’ll be absolutely fine.
There isn’t a set number of “tuition hours” each day, because we’re not running a course. Most of the day is the trip: the experiences, the places, the people. You use the camera to record it, and we guide you lightly as you go, in the moment. That might be a quick prompt before you head in, a few practical tips while you’re shooting, and a short touchpoint later if it’s useful. So you get plenty of help, but it never takes over the day.
Maximum 10. It’s enough people for a bit of buzz, but not so many that it splits into cliques or you’re still learning names on day four. It also means we can move faster, get into great local restaurants without taking over the place, and keep the whole trip feeling easy.
Yes. Most guests come on their own. The common thread is wanderlust: people who want a bit of adventure, to get closer to a place, and to come home with pictures that prove they were really there. It’s low-key, easygoing, and the group gels quickly. Most guests are 40–70, but it’s the shared curiosity that matters.
You don’t need to be super fit. Each trip page shows the physical level in the icon summary at the top, so you can judge it before you book. In general, we’re there to experience the place, not do a training camp. We build in options, so you can walk when you feel like it, or take the transport and be dropped right where you need to be. It’s your holiday, and we’ll make sure you can do it comfortably.
We price things simply so you can switch off. No juggling bookings, no chasing drivers, no wondering what happens next. The more you can relax into the trip, the better the experience and the better the pictures. Included: accommodation, all in-destination transport and transfers, guides and drivers, planned experiences and tours, entrance fees, and the organising of restaurants and logistics. On some trips, visas are included too (we’ll make that clear on the trip page). Not included: flights and most meals. We do that on purpose so you can choose your preferred flight options and keep flexibility. Tell us your departure airport and we’ll send a couple of sensible flight options for you to book direct. For meals, we’ll send a realistic budget in advance, and we pick places that are good and usually very reasonable.
To secure your place, we take a 20% deposit at the time of booking. The balance is due 8 weeks before departure. If you’d rather spread the cost, you can pay in instalments any time up to the 8-week point. Cancellations: your deposit is refundable up to 8 weeks before departure, in line with our booking terms (we’ll always be clear about this before you book). Protection: you’re covered by our £2m public and product liability insurance, plus crisis cover and 24/7 emergency assistance while you’re on the trip.
