A few words of introduction : I am, above all, a professional photographer. But I am also in the field of photo tours and ecotourism for more than 15 years, which is quite an exception. The first and main photo travel agency in France gave me the chance to conceive and guide photo tours in Iceland, Scotland, Italy, most important destinations at this time, in 2009, and then, from 2012 on, I offered my own photo trips and courses, in partnership with different registered travel agencies.
I therefore have extensive experience in guiding photographers groups in the field. I was, in another life it seems, a professor of French literature and sharing my passion has always been a great motivation for me. Today I share with you what I have learned in the field of photography and travel, always with the same enthusiasm. In my opinion, a beautiful photo is the result of precise technical knowledge put at the service of a deep empathy towards the subject.
My goal is to help you discover or refine your own photographic style and develop your own vision, based on technical advice in the field of course, but also with a more personal and reflective, more interior approach. I add to this a personal approach of post-processing to refine the results after shooting sessions.
You do not need to be an expert photographer to participate in my courses or trips. They are done in an informal and friendly way, in small groups of up to 6 people max. (exceptionally 7 on more "static" tours). Unlike the majority of photo travel agencies, where the norm is 8 participants or more, I am very keen on these small groups, which are my guarantee of personalized and in-depth exchanges, and comfort.
A note on my workshops in France (Lightroom or field workshops, on request): being very often on photo trips, I can only do them in winter or early spring (November-January generally), and on special request otherwise. So don't hesitate to contact me in advance. Speaking about Lightroom and post-processing techniques, I can teach you all the techniques, simple and effective, to produce superb landscape or wildlife photos, trust me about it.

Recently on French soil and having left you hurriedly, we wanted to thank you for this intense photo week, very rich in advice, sharing, and in a good mood. Beyond our photos, we will keep an excellent memory of these landscapes and the light you knew how to make us discover and appreciate. C and D. B. Scotland 2016
As I told you in a previous email, I really enjoyed our trip to Scotland and especially your way of transmitting your knowledge. I learned more in a week with you than on all the different photo tours I have been attending for several years. - R. D. Scotland 2016
Hello to the former Icelanders, the flight went well and everyone has arrived safely. Great trip! Waiting for the next one ! V.P Iceland 2016
With the recent addition of Lofoten to the photo tours catalog, my booking soon became obvious. And I was not disappointed, far from it! First of all, the Lofoten were even more beautiful than I could see on many shots and imagine them. The winter season adds an exceptional atmosphere to places that already leave one breathless.
The tour itself was also a total success, always true to yourself in your total commitment to photographic success from sunrise, to the pursuit of the northern lights! The small group also worked perfectly and installed a dynamic and pleasant atmosphere. X. B. Lofoten 2016
I learned new techniques, and kudos for your listening and your real desire to transmit your skills. I had the tendency the first days to make it on my own but quickly realized that every time in the field you dispensed valuable advice and I quickly returned within the group, to my greatest satisfaction. L. C. Travel Lofoten 2016
The Lofotens represented for many of us a model of these mythical and magical places that we dreamed to discover one day ... Your passion for these lands and these lights of the North allowed us to photograph in your company these marvelous Islands, and to come back with beautiful pictures and beautiful memories.
You are always very present, attentive and listening. Compared to the previous tour, I was already a little more at ease technically, which allowed me to progress in terms of framing and try my first panoramics. I'm still a novice landscape photographer, but your passion is contagious ... J. A. Travel Lofoten 2016
Thank you, we really enjoyed this intense photo trip. The puffins were great, but the rest too! O. B. Shetland 2015
We really enjoyed the wilderness there, and wildlife is everywhere. We liked very much being with you, there was a good atmosphere, cool. P. and E., Shetland 2015
I really enjoyed so much this tour, vast landscapes and all these birds, what a pleasure, just to see them! I thank you again for these good times and all the opportunities that you offered us. I hope to go also to the Danube Delta in May ... N.R. Shetland 2016
Hello Patrick I'm back from the Shetlands you made me realize my dream and I can not thank you enough! G.A. Shetland 2016
It's up to me to thank you for this real introduction to the landscape, I learned a lot in photography, but humanly too. J. B. Scotland 2015
Thank you to you for your investment and for the spectacular spots that you made us always discover a pleasure your teaching your sharing and especially your company. C.A. Scotland 2015
I've been in many photo tours, and I can say that this tour is one of only 2 where the photographer has given as much (he is an enthusiast who shares without counting). Normally all photo trips should be so. M.M. Scotland 2015
Your way of working is exemplary with a desire to provide as much photo opportunities as possible, and help people with pedagogy and care, in conditions of real comfort. This is what I'd call " haute couture" in the field of photo tours. Program is dense though, could be a bit exhausting for some, but not for me. D.D. Scotland 2015
