Get There

Enjoy!

The only photography workshop tour that gives you full control and flexibility by providing the great workshops, and tours which include transport and like-minded photography travel pals. You just book your flights to get there. Then book the hotels of your choice where we will be travelling through, or use my recommendations.
 
Don't forget, you are also on holidays and may want some time for yourself. Apart from the workshops where we work and travel together, there is sufficient rest & recreation time included for your own thing. Or if you prefer, hang out with me for meals, drinks and company. Whatever you decide, is cool for me! The tour is designed to end in Bali where you can choose to extend your stay or travel further with your new friends and photography skills.
 
The Java - Bali photography workshop tour requires us to wake up rather early (oh god....!) and 2 sleepless nights. This is when we have the best light and less crowd. However, don't forget that you can always take a siesta during the day!
 
Needless to say, you'll get better deals for summer the earlier you book your flights and hotels.

TOUR ITINERARY

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!
