Destination guide

When to go and what you will photograph in Europe

Northern Spain: the Cantabrian coast

Late April to early May

In spring the north of Spain is at its greenest. The Cantabrian coast offers dramatic seascapes, cliffs and sea stacks, such as the rock arches of Playa de las Catedrales at low tide, while the Picos de Europa rise just a few kilometres inland.

The 11-day route starts and ends in Bilbao and mixes coast, mountains and colourful fishing villages, in a group of 6 people at most.

Scotland: the Highlands and the Isle of Skye

Early October

Early autumn brings golden grasses, changing weather and soft light to the Highlands. It's the season to photograph Glencoe, castles such as Eilean Donan and Kilchurn, and the most iconic places on the Isle of Skye: the Old Man of Storr, the Quiraing and Neist Point.

9 days from Edinburgh, with a maximum of 6 photographers so we can adapt every day to the forecast.

Iceland: Ring Road and northern lights

Late October to early November

Around the end of October the nights are already long enough to hunt the northern lights, while the days still give plenty of hours for waterfalls, black sand beaches and mountains such as Kirkjufell and Vestrahorn.

In 10 days we drive the full Ring Road, including the icebergs of Diamond Beach, in a technical workshop for a maximum of 6 people.

The Dolomites

Autumn paints the Dolomites in reds, golds and oranges. In 8 days from Venice we photograph Tre Cime di Lavaredo, Cinque Torri, Lago di Braies, Val di Funes, Alpe di Siusi and Carezza lake.

Easy hikes, sunrise and sunset sessions and a night at a mountain refuge. Available as a private tour for 2 to 6 people.

Tuscany & Cinque Terre

Private tours only

Tuscany is famous for its rolling hills, cypress-lined roads and morning fog in the Val d'Orcia, especially in spring. Nearby, the colourful villages of the Cinque Terre hang over the sea and are perfect at blue hour.

We design private photography trips to Tuscany and the Cinque Terre adapted to your dates and interests.

Photography tours in Europe

How our Europe photo tours work

Our photography tours in Europe are designed by photographers for photographers: small groups of 6 people at most, routes planned around sunrise, sunset and night sessions, and enough time at each location to work every composition calmly instead of stopping for a quick snapshot.

On every trip a professional photographer guides you in the field with camera settings, composition, filters and long exposures, and the light and the weather decide the plan for each day. It works whether you are still learning or already shoot in manual mode.

Which Europe photo tour should you choose? It depends on the season and the kind of images you are after: green cliffs and seascapes in Northern Spain in May, autumn colours and castles in the Scottish Highlands in early October, or waterfalls, glaciers and northern lights on Iceland’s Ring Road at the end of October. The Dolomites and Tuscany with the Cinque Terre run as private tours on the dates you choose.

Travelling as a couple, with friends or with your photo club? Any of these destinations can also be booked as a private photo tour, adapted to your dates, your level and your interests.
