This Trip Is For...
This trip has been designed primarily for people who have already completed my training "3 Steps To Stunning Portraits", and are already familiar with natural light and composition techniques for people photography.
​
During this trip, you will learn how to apply these techniques to travel portraits - both candid and posed.
​
You need a good camera with a telephoto lens up to at least 200mm (full frame) - plus a wider lens when we can get up close to our subjects.
​
Personally, I will bring 24-70mm f2.8 and 70-200mm f2.8.
