We do not run extremely physical holidays and the level of fitness needed isn’t particularly high. However, each destination does vary in the amount of physical activity, please take note of the details below –
Tuscany
The nature of historic rural Italian towns means that there will be unavoidable slopes and steps to navigate in both arriving at the hotel and partaking in course activities, particularly in medieval buildings. In order to experience authentic photographic locations and opportunities, the activities may involve visiting outdoor sites such ancient olive groves, small private vineyards and sunflower fields etc. where it may be necessary to walk on uneven ground with no footpaths. Such occasions will be in open countryside, and depending upon the time of year, you may encounter insects and other animals. Sensible measures such as appropriate clothing, footwear and insect repellents can significantly mitigate, but not entirely avoid such exposure. We will endeavour to assist by providing lifts in motor vehicles for holidaymakers who would prefer to walk less or avoid difficult terrain, we will clearly notify holidaymakers in the morning workshop regarding the physical activities for the day and detail any alternative transport that can be provided. Other events such a local food festivals will permit access to certain behind the scenes elements to holiday participants for the purpose of photographic opportunities, and you must pay appropriate care and attention in such working environments for the safety and wellbeing of event staff and course participants. By making a booking and accepting thee Booking Conditions, you agree that you are aware that participating in the aforementioned course activities requires a degree of good health, physical mobility and awareness of your surroundings.
Scarborough
Activities on the holiday will involve walks through countryside, moorland and coastal paths that at times will be close to cliff edges, rocks, sand and sea where the trails may be undulating with uneven surfaces. . We will endeavour to assist by providing lifts in motor vehicles for holidaymakers who would prefer to walk less or avoid difficult terrain, we will clearly notify holidaymakers in the morning workshop regarding the physical activities for the day and highlight any alternative transport that can be provided. Where there are exclusive behind the scenes photographic opportunities at locations such the repair yard at the North York Moors steam railway, the Lobster factory and early morning dockside photography of a fishing boat landing its haul, you must pay appropriate care and attention in these working environments for the safety and wellbeing of staff and course participants.

We normally take between 7 and 9 holiday makers on each vacation. Small enough for the photography tutor to give everyone personal attention and big enough to create a good social atmosphere. However, we may run with less or more in some locations & situations. We will not run a holiday with more than 11 unless the holiday is a bespoke group.
In the event of the holiday that would like to attend is full then please get in touch and we will put you on a waiting list, there’s often cancellations so don’t despair!
A DSLR, mirrorless or bridge camera
A lens or two that covers 24-70, 70-200, or a zoom lens that does it all!
and a tripod – if you can’t squeeze it in your bag let Lillie know as we can bring a couple of extras.
This depends on the holiday but a good weather forecast should help.
Comfortable clothing for the day with a sweater (if cool weather forecast), a rain jacket for both the UK and abroad.
In the evenings, smart casual for dinner and the sweater will come in handy for the sunset shoots!
A good pair of walking shoes/trainers.
