Photography Workshops Travel Guide

What to expect from Adventure Life's photography tours
  • Personalized Professional Photography Lesson
A professional photographer will assist you in developing your skills and maximizing your experience. Your photography guide will follow you during the entire trip and provide ongoing instruction. This is often the case both in theory and experience, during lectures between trips and while photographing. You may expect to learn about all the technical aspects of photography, as well as composition and post-production. And the instruction is tailored to each participant's skill level, making our photo trips ideal for absolute beginners and semi-professionals alike.
  • Small Group Size
The group size varies from tour to tour, but photography tour groups are often small. Generally, travelers should expect anywhere from two to fifteen persons on a private trip. This provides for sufficient one-on-one instruction and helps bring out the best photographer in each participant.
Useful Photography Tours Checklist
  • Read and bring your manuals.
  • Bring lens paper and cleaning solution
  • Pack your battery charger and spare batteries.
  • Pack additional film, tape, and memory cards.
  • Carry electronic flash/tripod
  • Soft cloth for lens cleaning
  • Waterproof bag

Etiquette for taking photos
  • Never photograph a single animal or a group of animals in close proximity. Make a semi-circle to preserve the natural landscape. Never inflict harm on wildlife just to get a good shot. 
  • Respect the rights of other photographers. Allow others to take a clear shot before blocking their vision.
