International Photo Tours Asia and Latin America
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.
