Private bespoke tours
Years of groundwork, shared with you
Over the years I've spent a lot of time working in the remote Goldfields, the salt lakes, Shark Bay, the Pilbara and the Kimberley. On a bespoke tour I share that knowledge with you, from locations that are rarely shot to well known places seen from a completely unique perspective.
These tours are about the access and the knowledge I share with you. Being in the right spot at the right time with the right gear can take years of work, and a bespoke tour cuts most of that out for you.
They're one-on-one, or a small private group of two or three at most. With so few people we can stay flexible and move quickly when the conditions line up, instead of working to a fixed group schedule.
Every trip starts with a conversation about what you'd love to photograph and how you like to work. I then plan the route around the things that make or break a shoot, like when the salt lakes are holding colour or when the tides drop low enough to expose the patterns on the mudflats. I look after all the logistics, so your time goes into the photography, whether that's from a helicopter, a Cessna or a drone launched off a remote dirt track.
