TESTIMONIALS

“The tour was well-constructed and had an excellent combination of theory and practical photography. The locations were scenically beautiful and had great opportunities and elements of interest for taking photos. The small group size made the experience unique and added to its appeal. The duration of the tour was perfect, as it had a good balance of time spent learning the theory and then putting the knowledge into practice.” Megan.

“Yoann was very knowledgeable, passionate and enthusiastic. He had a passion for sharing his photographic knowledge with us, and did so in a way that was highly memorable. This was one of the highlights of my experience. He was always willing to answer questions during the tour and divided his time excellently between the different participants. His advice during the practical workshop was wonderful, as it helped me to translate the theory that I had learnt in the morning into practical usage of my camera.” Morgane
