PHOTO TOUR LEADER

WHY TRAVEL WITH ME?
​In today’s digital world, millions of photos are taken every minute, but few are seen by anyone other than the photographer’s family and friends.

That’s why my safaris are all about taking your photography to the next level, both professionally and personally.

Together Neil Aldridge and I will give you the practical and philosophical tools to take pictures and photo stories that make a difference.

Then, with insider knowledge and professional advice, we will help you to fulfil your goals as a photographer – whether that means getting published, getting your work seen more widely or achieving recognition in competitions.

Join me on the holiday of a lifetime.

 IN ASSOCIATION WITH C4 PHOTO SAFARIS

​C4 Photo Safaris have built a classic East African style safari camp on a quiet corner of the Mara River overlooking a large wildebeest migration crossing just for six photographers and three guides.

Avoiding the crush of tourist vehicles, top photojournalist Neil Aldridge, photographer Isak Pretorius and myself will take you to all the best vantage points, special places and secret spots. Here we will coach you in getting the best shots and help you to think about your images differently.

After an incredible day making beautiful and powerful images, we will fill our evenings with lively discussion about how to take them to the next stage. Neil will talk about using your images to support conservation causes, and how you can go about making a difference to something you care about.  

I will reveal the secret workings of photography judges' minds and what they look for in a winning picture. I've judged almost all of the major wildlife competitions so I should know! I'll also reveal how magazine editors decide what to publish – and how you can improve your chances of being paid for your photographs. Exhibitions, books, commissions – we can cover all of it in this special week together.

This is the only safari I am leading this year and it offers a completely unique opportunity to fast track your photography career.
