Photography Programs Abroad

Grab your favorite travel buddy (your camera, of course), make like Walter Mitty, and explore the world through a new lens! You don’t necessarily have to traverse the frigid Himalayas with your photographer friend in search of a lost film negative. But, if you share that same passion for great photography, you can set your sights on a creative adventure travel program, which combines adrenaline-pumping international experiences with adventure photography workshops, tours, and trips. Turn your dreams of improving your photography skills into a reality in virtually any destination you can imagine.

A Guide to Photography Travel Programs Abroad

Popular Locations

You might be tempted to think that because people are currently traveling the whole world and photographing it, wherever you would like to travel is the perfect destination. In some ways, this is true; your photography skill naturally improves as you develop an eye for capturing scenes, framing, lighting, and other technical skills over time. But even so, through more intensive photography programs in specific locations, you can bust beyond your intrinsic abilities to see the world in a whole new way.

There are truly some amazing places where you can hone your craft. If Europe sounds interesting, spend a summer exploring Iceland or sip wine in between shutter snaps in France. Elsewhere, there are photography opportunities in destinations like the Himalayas (including Nepal, Tibet, and Bhutan) and Argentina, where you can immerse yourself deeply in the culture and simultaneously get an inside look through your camera lens.

In these locations, you’ll not only have a chance to experience what it’s like to travel within the country, you’ll learn to use a new lens or two through which to view each destination, literally and figuratively.

The highlights were truly incredible.

The program not only met but far exceeded my expectations. The highlights were truly incredible, from the viewing of a cheetah making a kill and the treehouse session from the camp to the bushwalks and sundowners. I would recommend Penda, yes. Overall, Alan is a great photography guide and he made the whole holiday a great experience.
