I feel very privileged to do the job that I do. Although the admin side of running any business can be incredibly time-consuming I would not change what I do for anything. There can be few other jobs where you get to travel and photograph remarkable places and subjects while in the company of such a broad mixture of folk with wide-ranging backgrounds and careers. Ultimately, everyone has the same interests - the outdoors and photography - and so no matter where you come from you all have similar passions and always something to talk about. It's what makes the tour and within hours of meeting one another, you can guarantee light-hearted joshing and banter. Everyone, of course, is there is take photographs but also to have fun and participate in experiences that they will always remember. I am truly grateful to those that entrust their time and hard-earned money in me and I never stop tweaking and aiming to improve the workshop/tour's quality and so when I receive an email such as the one below I am, truly, bowled over. It makes all the planning worthwhile and I cannot wait for the next adventure!
"It's almost a week since we returned from Iceland. Each time I process some of my images I am reminded of the great time we had in one of my favourite places. We were very fortunate to see the landscape still in the grip of winter and this certainly emphasised the dramatic landscape of the peninsula.
As always, thank you for everything you did to ensure we could get the best out of our visit. Your quiet and calm approach towards supporting our photographic needs inspires confidence and is greatly appreciated. The daily planning of the trip ensured that we could visit a series of sites that had huge photographic potential. As always, your planning was exemplary and the choice of accommodation was ideal for our needs. You always adopted a flexible approach to each day's plans which ensured that we could take advantage of weather conditions or natural phenomena. The awesome experience of photographing the Aurora Borealis on the last night exemplified your ability to steer us to record such a spectacular display. For all this and so much more, many thanks, Robert".
