How many people are in your group courses/lessons/tours?

What is the difference between a photo tour and a workshop?
A workshop has a much more structured itinerary that is more about learning techniques and fundamentals than about the location, although the location can be critical to creating the right environment for what the workshop strives to teach. A workshop includes lecture and classroom time, field demonstrations, group location shoots, student assignments and critique sessions.
A tour is location specific and is primarily about getting the best images possible by taking students to locations at the best times and lighting. On location, I offer advise on how to best capture the scene(s) we are at. On a tour, there is a lot more one on one, personalised help and tips to improve your photography. I also tell you information and stories about the location we are visiting, making a tour about much more that just photography.
What measures are you taking to be sustainable and eco-friendly?
Sustainability and eco-friendliness are integral to my operations.
Every course, tour, and lesson is meticulously planned to minimise environmental impact. From choosing locations with care to utilising efficient transportation methods, I prioritise sustainability at every step. I carefully vet suppliers and partners based on their commitment to sustainability and eco-friendliness
During the courses, tours and lessons I actively promote environmental consciousness among my students. From encouraging them to avoid stepping on plants to using designated bins for waste disposal, I install a sense of responsibility for the natural world.
I believe that every action, no matter how small, contributes to a more sustainable future.
