A successful Responsible Photography
™
Holiday is about experiencing the
places we visit, respecting the people we meet and having fun with your
camera. Travel with a companion, travel solo or travel with your own
private group. Make the most of your holiday time with a chance to
experience fascinating places, encounter colourful local life and enjoy
your photography. We contribute to community livelihoods, encourage
positive interaction with the people we meet and respect the
environment. Privileged to visit some of the places we go to, it is
important that the trust placed in us is not compromised, so sometimes
it is not appropriate to take photographs, particularly of women and
children. Please respect any request to 'hold back' with the camera -
enjoy the experience and cherish the memory instead.
Perhaps
you are a less experienced photographer who wants to gain confidence
and learn more about photography, or perhaps you just want to indulge
your passion for adventure travel and photography? Whichever photography holiday
you choose, there will be lots of photographic opportunities with help,
guidance, support, ideas and tips - depending on your individual
interests or requirements.
 Themed Photography
Consider using your
photography holiday to
produce a personal photo narrative or photography book. An initial
discussion
will help determine what you would like to concentrate on. Perhaps it
will be pattern and texture, colour and abstract, a travel documentary
or a combination of words and pictures. Review and
discussion sessions will help you edit ideas and stay on
track with your project. Everyone will be encouraged to
participate in open discussion and to share their photographic knowledge, thoughts, ideas and experience.

Do you want to get to know the ins and outs of your camera, learn more about photography and have fun at the same time? Then join a Responsible Photography Holiday 'Fun with your camera' Beginners Photography Holiday in Morocco which includes structured photo workshops to help you gain that extra confidence with your photography.

During
all our photography holidays there will be 'discussion' sessions,
evening reviews, suggested photography techniques to practice and
individual support. We
are also aware that many people like to come on a photo holiday not
wanting or needing any help, so don't worry - we respect this and leave
you in peace to enjoy your photography! The
number of photography holiday participants won't be exceeded unless you
would like a photography holiday or photo workshop for your own private group.
  
Photographic EquipmentYou will need to bring your own camera
equipment, including a 'back up'
camera just
in
case something goes wrong, and ideally, a laptop. Remember to include a travel plug or adapter.
Digital photographers will need to bring everything they need -
all necessary
connections, card readers, battery chargers and more memory cards
than you think you'll need! Film photographers will need their
film/labels - a small soft cooler bag is useful for keeping film in.
Plus - don't forget your camera manual....!
Cloth bags are a good idea to protect cameras and lenses from
dirt and dust (especially in the desert!) - and an old toothbrush can
be useful for dislodging sand from tripods! ©Gail Ward 2006-2011
  
Photo ProjectsWe
organise different projects - sometimes there is the opportunity to
share your interest in photography and your creative skills by assisting
with a photo project. Are you practical, patient and confident enough
to help children, and adults, who are eager to learn about cameras and
taking pictures? You don't need to be a highly skilled photographer,
your personal skills and genuine interest in helping are much more
important. References/CRB check may be requested.
