Tour participant's profile
- You are a free independent traveller with a lust for adventure and photography. You are capable of making your own accommodation arrangements at each location. Everything else is taken care of. Relax and enjoy yourself.
- Bummer..... You should have some basic knowledge about photography, understand exposure and handling your camera (not on full auto). If you are currently shooting on full auto or would like a refreshal, it is highly recommended that you join the half-day photography crash course.
- Another one....Be willing to wake up at unearthly hours and 2 sleepless nights as this is where the action is. Photography is more important than sleep! Remember, you have the day to take a siesta and at the end of the tour you can extend your stay and wake up at your leisure.
- The last.... Be reasonably fit as it involves walking and light treks. The challenging part is at Kawah Ijen which involves a 90 minute steep hike (those who are fit) - 150 minutes (those taking a leisurely pace). You can also opt out of this and do other things.
- You share my core values of interacting with the local people & culture, sensitive about their way of doing things, believe in social responsibility and supporting the local economy.
- You are easy going, enjoy meeting people and making new friends. We are a small group of up to 7 photographers and I want everyone to have an a wonderful time with me. Be zen about life and accept the unexpected as part and parcel of having memorable moments!
- Like me, you are passionate about travel photography and wish to get amazing photos and not snap shots!
Skills you will take away
- Develop core photography competence.
- Understand landscape, night. people and street photography.
- Work with long exposures and capturing star trails.
- Effective composition tips.
- Shoot great travel photographs.
- Manage challenging light situations and using available light.

- People interaction skills in spontaneous situations & street photography.
What is included and excluded from the photography tour.
I believe in transparency and accessibility to the tours. Each of us have personal budgets, different comfort expectations but a common goal of travel photography and great images. Over 11 days, through the workshops and tours, we will explore many photography techniques, improve your photography skills along the way while working together.
Apart from the personal attention you'll be receiving, you will have your own free time. There will be opportunities as well to share costs with fellow photographers to do other activities not included (optional excursions).
The most important components of the tour are already included.
