Small group sizes
Teaching on the tours is designed from Darren’s background as both a photographer and a qualified teacher. The students’ photographic learning and enjoyment come first. ‘I’ll not be pushing to the front to get the best shot. My mission is to point out the shots you can take.’ Darren knows the terrain well, with a raft of subject-friendly faces presenting opportunities to engage with local people as well as off-the-beaten-path landscape locations. We specialise in small group holidays for up to 6 people and this helps guests feel they’re getting tutor support. Almost without exception, everyone on the tours produces excellent galleries developing their photography in unexpected directions.
