Photography Experiences & Tours - Overseas & UK

“From the moment Janette met us outside Door 4 of Delhi airport she and her team did everything they could to ensure we had an outstanding holiday experience.”

We had traveled with Janette in 2023 and enjoyed ourselves so much we booked a second visit. It's like holidaying with a friend who has taken on all the organising. The Ranthambore Regency hotel is an ideal base. Located only 10 minutes drive from the park's main entrance, the staff are charming and friendly and go out of their way to ensure your comfort. The buffet style meals are excellent, the rooms are clean and comfortable and the onsite spa offers a range of treatments to aid relaxation after a hectic morning of tiger spotting. Ah… the tigers! We had the most amazing sightings. 8 individual tigers on our first day and another day where we spent both morning and afternoon sessions in the company of Ridhi and her three boisterous cubs. In addition to these and other tiger sightings during the week we saw sloth bear, mongoose, sambar, chittal and nilgai, wonderful birdlife as well as enjoying the beautiful Ranthambore landscapes.
Ash and Sajid make up the dream team of guide and driver, fathoming out where the tigers are likely to be, or where they will go if they are on the move, and positioning the vehicle to get the best sightings. They offer insights into the wildlife and the flora, how the tigers are behaving and what has been going on between game drives.
A truly wonderful holiday that we will look back on for years as a highlight amongst our many travels.

“This summer I went on my first holiday with Janette to see the brown bears in Finland. This is a wonderful trip which I would highly recommend. You will see lots of bears, it really is a photographer’s dream. ”

There is the opportunity to spend the night in 3 professional hides, which, while rather snug and basic, are well worth it as you get to see the bears in a variety of backdrops. In addition to the photographic opportunities, which are numerous, you also get the benefit of Janette’s considerable experience. I have been on a number of photography holidays/courses and I can honestly say I have never learnt so much especially in relation to editing in Lightroom.

Janette tailors her approach effortlessly to the experience of each member of the group and is always on hand to give advice and tips. She has an open and encouraging style, which in my experience is not always the case with tour leaders on these types of holidays. I came back with some stunning photographs, an increased confidence in using Lightroom and some truly wonderful memories.

“The Mid Wales landscape and wildlife workshop provides a good balance of landscape and wildlife photography allowing people to understand the different requirements and appreciate the differences.”

Janette provides help when required but does not impose when you want to get on and take photographs. I went on the trip with a new camera and lenses. Janette was very patient when I kept forgetting where the buttons were on the camera! I was not expecting to come back with any good photographs, my aim was to learn how to use the camera, but with Janette’s tuition I managed to come back with some of the best photographs I have ever taken.

The accommodation provided by Jane and Richard was very good. It was warm, friendly and a lovely place to go back to in the evening. I would recommend this workshop; I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop.
