Responsible Travel

Here at Light and Land, we recognise our obligation to operate our photography tours in a responsible and sustainable way. We view this not only as an environmental issue but an economic and social one as well. We are committed to giving back to this world we share with so many others and take our responsibility in doing so very seriously.

The following are the key points in our responsible travel philosophy:

  • Small groups have less impact on local communities and environments.
  • We respect the environment and leave no trace or footprint.
  • We make and share photographs that highlight issues affecting the natural world.
  • Where possible we believe in putting money directly into the communities we visit by using locally owned and run accommodation and eating locally produced food.
  • We ensure that local staff receive a fair rate for their services.
  • We are creating more workshops based in the UK to reduce the need for air travel.

From worldwide tours to one day workshops

Our mission is not simply to improve your photography skills and make sure you have a great time whilst you're with us, but also to pass on our enthusiasm and inspire you to reach new creative heights. From complete beginners to professionals, we cater for all abilities.

What to expect from a Light and Land tour:

  • Experience and expertise from the UK's leading landscape photographers, on hand 24-7 to help and guide you
  • Expert inside knowledge of the best locations, viewpoints and lighting conditions
  • A flexible approach that offers as much or as little attention as you require
  • Constructive post-shoot critique and advice sessions, whenever possible
  • We can educate and inspire you so you go away brimming with ideas and confidence in your photography
  • The opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with like-minded enthusiasts

  • We will provide you with the knowledge, the views and the techniques for making the most of the light.
  • You are the absolute priority and will not be left to fend for yourself, our leaders will be on hand to give you as much or as little personal attention as you would like.

We want you to go home from one of our tours or workshops feeling that you have been to some fantastic places, met some great people and had a fabulous time - but also most importantly, that you have learnt something new and feel confidence in your abilities as a photographer.
