Our Brittany photography tour 'The Lighthouse Route' will take place in April 2025 with Tom Sullam and Ed Rumble. The Brittany coastline has the largest concentration of lighthouses in the world. Yet they are each so architecturally different from one another and surrounded by diverse geology from imposing cliffs to sandy beaches. As well as the lighthouses, there are many more coastal subjects to photograph during our tour of this epic stretch of coastline.

We shall aim to visit the pretty Petit Minou with its stone causeway snaking into the bay of Brest, the squat and square Kermovan at the end of its rocky peninsula, braced against the westerlies, and the almost Byzantine looking Mean Ruz perched on extraordinary pink granite rocks from which its stones have been hewn.

The Lighthouse Route - Brittany Photography Tour
Our tour will begin close to Nantes where we shall stay overnight close to the town of Pornic. This will afford us the opportunity of photographing some lovely fishing huts, or Carrelets, that are common to this stretch of coastline and make fascinating subjects, particularly using long exposure techniques. We then make our way northwards to the western reaches of Finistère where the drama of the coast and prevailing weather so often justifies its literal translation as ‘the end of the earth’. Staying close to Le Conquet will allow us to access the truly wonderful locations this region has to offer at dawn and dusk where, with luck, dramatic skies and light will hopefully provide a fitting backdrop to our subjects. There will be an opportunity to take a short boat trip to photograph a beautiful spiral staircase at another famous lighthouse.

We then move along the northern shoreline and base ourselves close to the Côte de Granit Rose where the turquoise seas perfectly compliment the remarkable pink hued rock that has been smoothed and shaped by countless tides. From here we visit the quaint ‘House between the Rocks’ and explore further secluded bays and islets along the nearby coast.

Brittany Coastline Photography Holiday

Our final sortie takes us just across the border into Normandy to visit the iconic Mont-Saint-Michel. En-route will be the potential for abstract images of mussel farms in a sheltered river estuary and a visit to an imposing Medieval Castle looming over the headland. At Mont-Saint-Michel, we hope to have time and conditions for both a dawn and dusk shoot from different locations as well as a visit to the island itself with a tour of the Abbey and Cloisters.

This new Light & Land tour promises to be a memorable journey in the company of Tom and Ed, two experienced photographers and guides who will be keen to encourage the development of your photographic vision and to help you produce some high-quality images of the region. There will be plenty of opportunities when not on location to review images and discuss post processing techniques as well as to enjoy the gastronomic delights of the region in relaxed and good-humoured company.

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.
