Our Impressions of Holland photography tour will take place in April and May 2024 with Charlotte Bellamy.

Holland - just a short flight or train across the channel, but a world away from being in the UK. Most people know Holland for its tulips, cheese and windmills, and of course this photo tour will abound with all of these, but there is so much more to experience in this country which makes it a wonderful photographic destination. Led by Charlotte, who has lived in Holland for 11 years, you are guaranteed a treat as she guides you to her favourite ‘off the tourist route’ locations for a diverse range of photo opportunities. Whether you are looking to enjoy traditional landscape and flower photography or develop your creative photography skills, Charlotte will encourage and assist you during the tour.

Impressions of Holland Photography Tour

Impressions of Holland - Landscape Photography Tour
Included in the tour is of course the chance to explore Amsterdam (twice). Once by night and once by day – each visit offering completely different photographic opportunities. At night, as the light fades, the twinkling lights shape the bridges, maybe a sunset and blue hour as we position ourselves in a super location where canals cross each other – how many bridges you can get in one image will be your challenge! By day we will explore the beautiful Jordan area with wonderful reflections, unique architecture and wonderful ambience.

Impressions of Holland Landscape Photography Tour

In contrast to Amsterdam, you will also enjoy a day out in the rural villages of Edam and De Rijp, as well as the Beemster Polder. These villages are wonderful to explore, and, in complete contrast to the bustle of Amsterdam, you will feel the speed of life slow down. Out in the polders, there will also be opportunities to photograph windmills in wide open landscapes. Depending on locations that the tulips are planted, this is also the location where it may be possible to photograph (without the need of photoshop) tulips and windmills into the same location. But this is not guaranteed, it’s a bonus!

Impressions of Holland Photography Tour

We will have a full day devoted to exploring the tulip fields North West of Amsterdam. Charlotte has been visiting this area for 10 years, and will know just where all the tulips are to find. It’s a bit like a tulip treasure hunt – you may even play tulip colour bingo! The variety is massive in colour and shape. Being in a small group will ensure you also get to make the call to stop if something catches your eye. Daffodils and possibly late blooming hyacinths will add to the overall experience for your senses.

A trip to Holland would not be complete without visiting the world famous Keukenhof gardens. Whilst many think this is what tulips in Holland are all about, you will be in the unique position to have experienced the bulb fields. Now you will notice how natural and open the fields were compared to the beautiful almost art like plantings of colour and design. We stay close to the gardens to ensure entry as the gardens open at 8am – and to give you a couple of hours before the tour busses arrive to enjoy the location. As it becomes busier there will be opportunities to concentrate on photographing individual blooms, colours, patterns and macro.

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.
