Our autumnal adventure Slovenia photography tour will take place with Verity Milligan and Astrid McGechan in October 2024. The beautiful and unspoilt country of Slovenia lies at the heart of Europe, where the majestic Alps meet the Mediterranean Sea. Bordered by Austria to the north, Hungary to the east, Croatia to the south and Italy to the west, this tiny country is approximately half the size of Switzerland and is home to some of the most photogenic scenery to be found anywhere in Europe.

Verity and Astrid would love you to join them on this photographic adventure where clichés aren’t a concern and an eclectic mix of exciting image-making possibilities are awaiting you.

Autumnal Adventure in Spectacular Slovenia

Slovenia Photography Tour - Autumnal Adventure in Spectacular Slovenia
Largely mountainous, more than half the country is thickly forested, with a wealth of architectural and natural wonders to attract our attention. We will be based just 34 miles to the north-west of the capital Ljubljana and only 22 miles from the international airport in the Julian Alps, where the landscape is wild and beautiful. The area is dominated by the precipitous peak of Mt. Triglav, the highest point in the country at over 9,000 feet. Mount Triglav is a cultural icon for Slovenes, which features on the national flag and lends its name to Slovenia’s only National Park, a productive centre for our photographic exploration.

Our hotel is close to the centre of the mountain village of Bled within a stone’s throw of the picturesque Lake Bled in the heart of the Julian Alps. In the centre of the emerald green lake, on Slovenia’s only island, lies an iconic 15th century church. Overlooked by its lofty neighbour Bled Castle, the “Pilgrimage Church of the Assumption of Mary” with its 170 foot tower simply begs to be photographed. Bled is recognised as the gateway to the best the area has to offer, with mountains, castles, churches and beautiful landscapes just a short drive from our hotel.

Slovenia Photography Holiday

Slovenia covers just 20,000 square kilometres, yet it boasts over 10,000 kilometres of sign-posted hiking trails and over a third of the countryside is protected, which allows us uninhibited access to the best Alpine scenery of majestic mountains and lakes without the need for long drives. We will dedicate the daylight hours to exploring the very best that the country has to offer, at all times making the most of the prevailing weather conditions and time of day. A couple of locations can only be reached on foot with some uphill walking involved. 

Verity and Astrid will be at hand at all times making sure you will return from this tour with images to treasure.

Luxury Editions

Essentially, a Luxury Editions tour is an exclusive micro learning group with five star tuition and treatment in all aspects of the tour. Each year a small number of ‘Luxury Editions’ tours will run where the group numbers no more than four photographers per tutor. Here the learning approach is more intensive where the leader is able to offer constant ‘hands-on guidance’ allowing them an opportunity to work in depth with each individual photographer in addition to working with the group on a collective basis. In addition to this, the accommodation will be of a high standard and special extras will be included. These tours are only taught by our long standing leaders who have years of experience and are highly sought after. If you would like to join a Luxury Edition tour, then the requirement would simply be a complete understanding of the workings of the camera and the desire and commitment needed to attend the workshop.

Off the Beaten Track

Our 'Off the Beaten Track' tours cater for those more adventurous photographers who would like to get off the beaten track and explore roads untrodden or delve into the culture of a place. Groups are small and you can be assured that although the tour leader will have an in-depth knowledge of the location, you may veer off track if an unplanned photography opportunity presents itself! The tuition is five star on these tours. The accommodation varies on these tours from mid range hotels, shared cabins on a ship to basic and clean camps. Our priority is to get you to the best locations in time for the best shot and if this means camping half way up a mountain then so be it! Our 'Off the Beaten Track' tutors will have experience and knowledge of the area, so you can be assured that you will be completely taken care off to allow you to concentrate on that award winning image. If you would like to join an ‘Off the Beaten Track’ tour, then a good knowledge of your camera would be an advantage, but not essential, and the desire and commitment needed to attend the workshop. We do also ask that you have a good level of fitness as these tours could involve a large amount of walking. Check each tours description for requirements.

Classic

Our Classic tours are aimed at those who wish to discover unique locations, but at a more leisurely pace than the Off the Beaten Track tours. There will be ample time to immerse yourself in the location and spend time on your photography. Classic tours also focus on sunrise and sunset (which are optional for those who like to sleep in!) and have a slightly larger group size (max 8 per tutor) to allow the social side of photography to be appreciated. Tuition is five star and hotels are mid-high range depending on the tour. Every classic tour is different so do refer to the tour description for details of accommodation and locations visited. If you would like to join a ‘Classic’ tour, then a good knowledge of your camera would be an advantage, but not essential, and the desire and commitment needed to attend the workshop. Fitness levels required vary depending on the tour so do check the exertion level under the description tab.

City Tours

Interested in architectural photography or street photography? Do you get a buzz from photographing city life? Then a city tour is for you. We have a range of tours catering to various styles of photography including People/Street, Intentional Camera Movement, Iphoneography or Architectural photography. Tours range in length from weekend breaks, ideal for those who don’t have may days holiday left, or longer tours to allow yourself to truly explore the city. Our tutors have an in-depth knowledge of the location and will take you to undiscovered spots to ensure you come away with a varied selection of images that you are proud of. If you would like to join a ‘City’ tour, the requirement would simply be a complete understanding of the workings of the camera and the desire and commitment needed to attend the workshop. Fitness levels required vary depending on the tour so do check the exertion level under the description tab.

Easy - most locations are arrived at by vehicle, and most subjects and viewpoints are within easy reach. No particular level of fitness is required.

Moderate - these tours involve some walking, perhaps sometimes in towns, or on well developed trails. There may be a limited amount of uphill walking. Please advise if you have any fitness concerns.

Strenuous - these are tours which may include demanding levels of walking, including some prolonged or steep ascents and descents. Rough terrain (off the beaten track) may well be encountered. A reasonable level of fitness is required for these trips.
