Daily activities alternate between field trips and local wanderings to provide a colourful mix of work, play and rest

Paul is always open to creating a custom learning experience, local or international, should you desire something different or more of a one-on-one experience. Paul takes his role as instructor seriously and his emphasis is on your photography, not his. He emphasizes the creative aspects of photography while providing lots of technical knowledge with hands-on. Sharing. Tours groups are kept small to develop the group relationship and to allow lots of personal contact and field instruction. Participants will leave at the end of the workshop with an enlightened knowledge of the place they explored, a greater awareness of their own strengths and weaknesses, new technical skills, and an enhanced sensitivity to light, color and composition.

While tours are best experienced by photographers equipped with digital SLR cameras, there is always room for photographers who still use traditional photography equipment or for partners who want to just enjoy the tour experience with a point and shoot camera. Daily activities alternate between field trips and local wanderings to provide a colourful mix of work, play and rest. Evenings are often spent eating good food while reviewing and critiquing the days shooting. To maximize the personal experience, and to build group participation, Paul requests that participants are in good health and able to participate in all the field activities. Workshops are very carefully planned with safety, comfort and a joyful experience guaranteed for all.

As workshop schedules and itineraries are constantly being updated and added to, please contact Paul directly for up-to-date listings and itineraries of available workshops.
