Celebrated for their timeless beauty and architectural charm, Prague and Český Krumlov offer an enchanting blend of Baroque, Gothic, and Renaissance architecture, along with cobbled lanes, synagogues, churches, castles, and cathedrals - more than enough to delight any photographer.

Cost excludes: Flights (circa £160), accommodation while in Prague (circa £125pn), lunch and dinner (circa £35 per day), entrance tickets to places of interest (circa £40) and airport transfers (circa £25 each way).
Accommodation:

Accommodation while in Cesky Krumlov will be taken care of, but while in Prague, you will book your own hotel room.

Since we will be departing and returning from Cesky Krumlov to a single point in Prague, you will need to book your stay in the 4-star Hotel Kampa Garden, which lies less than 200 metres from the famous Charles Bridge. This is also where we'll be meeting each morning and following breakfast, which makes it very convenient. Having stayed there more times than I can remember - both with and without groups - I can assure you of a very warm welcome and comfortable stay. They also serve an unbelievably good breakfast!

Fitness level: Moderate. By far the best way to experience both Prague and Cesky Krumlov is on foot, but we will, on occasion, use its highly efficient tram system. So long as you don't have any serious mobility issues, can handle gradients and possess a pair of comfortable shoes, you will find this no problem at all. Plus, in order to keep up our energy levels, I do like to factor in the occasional coffee and cake stop!
Weather: Day: +10 to 15 deg C / Night, dusk and dawn: -5 to +5. As with autumn in the UK, it's variable and could include mist, fog and frost.
Sunrise / Sunset: 7.15 / 4.15
Experience Level: Intermediate upwards. A thorough understanding of exposure and familiarity with your camera is necessary.
Equipment needed: Keeping it light is key when working in the city, so just a couple of lenses, from wide-angle to telephoto, would be required. Although a polarising filter, ND and ND grads would be useful, they are by no means essential. However, for those early morning and night shoots, a lightweight tripod most certainly is! An extensive checklist will be sent to everyone several months before the tour.
Additional info:

Flights
In case of any unforeseen circumstances, such as flight cancellations/rescheduling, it is a condition of booking that you leave +/- 3 days free on either side of the dates stated.

Special dietary requirements/allergens
Prague is as developed as any other European country, but it is relatively new to the concept of vegetarianism and especially veganism. They are big meat-eaters, so although there may be a few vegetarian options, being 'flexitarian' would certainly make your life that much easier! If you're a strict vegan, then I am afraid this tour will not be for you, as vegan options are either rare or extremely limited. Also, should you have strict allergy requirements, then I'm afraid the same applies.

On this 7-day tour, we will explore two of Europe's most beautiful - and inspiring - UNESCO World Heritage sites: Prague and the South Bohemian town of Cesky Krumlov.  

SURPRISES!
Wishing to make this as memorable as possible for everyone, I have arranged two 'surprises,' which will only be revealed during the tour!.  


Known as The City of a Hundred Spires, Prague (indeed, the Czech Republic as a whole) has, over the centuries, had what you might call a rather chequered history. From being ruled in the 1800s by the Habsburg Empire, Naxi Germany during WWII and eventually the Soviet Union until the Velvet Revolution of 1989, it was only as recently as 1993 that Czechoslovakia was peacefully divided into two independent states of the Czech and Slovak Republics. Throughout the ages, both Prague and Cesky Krumlov have remained relatively unchanged, and their eclectic mix of Baroque, Gothic and Renaissance architectural styles, cobbled lanes, synagogues, churches, a castle and a cathedral make these not only among the most beautiful places to visit but an absolute joy to wander around and photograph. I sincerely hope that you will consider joining me! 

Pre-tour Ideas, inspiration and editing tutorial
Something new, which I have been including more and more in my workshops...
Appreciating that, for some, such a location can be a little daunting, I thought it would be helpful if, a few weeks before the tour, everyone received a pre-recorded tutorial where I give my thoughts and suggestions on photographing Prague and Cesky Krumlov and the eventual post-processing. Such aspects will include long exposure, aspect ratios, filtration, B&W conversions, Masks and Graduated filters.


Few places lend themselves to both colour and black-and-white photography as perfectly as these two. Using both mediums, we’ll capture sweeping vistas and, with the help of telephoto lenses, the intimate details of their landscapes. By day and by night, I’ll guide you through their streets and alleyways, photographing not only the iconic landmarks but also the quieter, more hidden corners.

Cesky Krumlov...

Prague and Cesky Krumlov are stunning any time of the year but particularly so, I think, in autumn when visitor numbers are significantly lower, sunrise and sunset are neither too early nor too late and when there is a very real possibility of mist and fog, which, of course, is pure Manna from Heaven for the photographer!

Personal connection
I would hazard a guess that there are few photographers (residing in the UK at least) more acquainted with Prague and Czech traditions than myself, where, since 2002, I have visited this magical city on no fewer than 70 occasions, photographing for my agents and my own library, as well as providing material for magazine articles. I think it's fair to say that I consider it to be my second home and that I still find it as inspiring and stimulating as I did on my first visit all those years ago. 

To me, both truly reveal themselves at night and, especially so, in those quieter areas where you can relax and let your mind wander and create compositions under the illumination of lamplight. 

Cesky Krumlov...

FINALLY...
Thank you for considering this tour. If you have any questions, no matter how small or insignificant they may seem, please don't hesitate to get in touch. I'm here to help and ensure that you have a wonderful few days filled with inspiring photography.

Workshop info

Thank you for dropping by and considering attending a workshop. I love nothing more than to pass on to others the knowledge I have gained over the last 30 years as a professional photographer and 15 as a workshop and tour leader. My group sizes are always small ensuring a fun and friendly group dynamic, lots of 'personal space' in which to photograph without too much fear of others getting in your way and as much tuition as you would like or feel that you need. I hope you can join me!

Although under the 'umbrella' of Workshops, please note there is a difference between the three types that I offer. To avoid any confusion, please see below.

Workshops

Those taking place in the UK are classed as Workshops where learning is the primary aim, and in the case of those which are multi-day residential, very often include image critique and post-processing sessions.

Tours

Overseas trips are classed as Tours where the logistics are all taken care of and where the emphasis is on getting you to great locations at the best time of the day. Since these may include hide photography and working in cold, windy conditions where one-on-one tuition isn't practical, these are less hands-on. However, prior to the hide session or upon arriving at a location, I will give advice and suggestions on composition, lens selection and exposure.

Creative Visions

Creative Visions is a new concept that I have designed to specifically nurture your artistic growth. They can take place in either the UK or abroad combining both workshop and tour principles. There will be critique and post-processing tutorials and, most importantly, you will be encouraged to go beyond the record and representational and instead produce more intimate creative interpretations.
