International Photography Tours
The goals of photography and travel are one in the same – to explore the world and experience it with a fresh vision. When you travel with Big Sun Photography Tours you travel in the company of an experienced photography guide, following routes that have been designed exclusively for photographers.
Our small-group expeditions are not so much technical workshops but exciting travel opportunities designed to put your photographic skills to use. Your guide, Gene Tewksbury, will mentor your travel photography skills throughout the expedition, showing you teniques (both technical and social) for obtaining amazing cultural photos.
Our groups are kept small, with a maximum of six photographers, to insure freedom for individual photographers to explore and shoot with the group or on their own without us all getting in each other's way. Whenever possible, special photo opportunities are arranged for the group as a whole. Flexible arrangements on each tour enable photographers to take advantage of the best light for photography and, when traveling by bus, to make impromptu stops for spontaneous photographic opportunities.
Choosing the right photography tour
Each photography tour has a different focus and style, depending on the logistics, the destination and the leader. Some have a cultural orientation; some are almost exclusively devoted to wildlife photography or landscape photography; others have a combination of natural history and culture.
A few trips focus on more intense photographic shoots, designed for ardent photographers with long days devoted almost exclusively to photographing in the field, but most have a relaxed pace, with time for you to enjoy yourself at each location while still afforing you the time needed for photography.
Be sure to choose the type of trip that suits you best. We provide detailed descriptions of each journey to help you select the right tour for you, and we can be reached by phone with questions. Feel free to e-mail anytime to ask specific questions.
Custom Tours can be arranged for Independent Photo Explorers:
* Organize your own group of four or more photographers (friends, camera club, etc).
* Work with Big Sun Tours to develop the perfect destination itinerary for your group.
* Cost are determined by group size, season, and level of accommodations.
* Flexible dates available to meet your traveling convenience.
