We’re incredibly excited to introduce a brand new collection of photography holidays for 2026 — and we’d love you to be part of them from the very beginning.
These are our ‘Pioneer Trips’: one-off departures designed to test new itineraries, refine new ideas, and explore fresh locations. As one of our valued guests, this is your opportunity to experience them first.
To thank you for your support — and your trust in trying something new — we’re offering these inaugural trips at significant discounts.

This brand new tour explores the stunning landscapes of Scotland’s Central Highlands — a completely fresh itinerary we’re developing into a flagship 10-day experience for 2027.
For 2026, we’re offering a special shortened Pioneer version, giving you the chance to experience it first at a significantly reduced price.
With just three guests, a packed itinerary, and expert guidance throughout, this promises to be a truly immersive photographic journey.

This is a course we’ve poured a huge amount of thought into — because composition sits at the very heart of powerful photography.
Over an intensive and carefully structured week, we’ll guide you through the principles, techniques, and creative thinking that underpin strong compositions — combining teaching with real-world practice.
If you’ve ever felt that composition is something you almostunderstand but can’t quite master, this week is designed for you.

If you want to truly understand your camera — and finally feel in control of it — this is the week.
Designed for those who feel stuck or unsure of the fundamentals, this course builds solid foundations through a mix of structured learning and hands-on practice.
Based on our proven teaching approach (and years of experience), this is an immersive, practical week that can genuinely transform your confidence and ability.
