FAQ`s

Why choose Digital Photography Holidays;
The photography holidays are designed for guests who want to take their photography and creativity further. Locations are chosen because Stephen has an intimate photographic knowledge of them. Our holidays are geared around travel and landscape photography and making sure you return home with some stunning, creative stand out images, whilst having fun and adventure along the way with like minded people.
Our holidays are first and foremost photography holidays not dreary learning courses.

Are there any hidden extra costs?
No, the price you see is the price you pay, we don`t believe in hiding costs from you. Each individual holiday description will have a list of what is included in the price of the holiday and what is not included.
We have no single person supplement and we don`t ask for extra money when you arrive on the holiday.
*Note; the only extra cost that may be incurred will be any discretionary tips for example to drivers, boat captains and guides. 

What kind of accommodation can I expect?
Stephen personally chooses all our hotels to be within walking distance to great restaurants, bars and shopping. All our accommodation has great photos to be taken straight from the front door.

Will I have my own room?
Yes; there is no single person supplement meaning you get a good nights sleep without the sounds of someone else`s snoring, leaving you fresh and relaxed for your next days photography.

What level of photographer?
Our holidays are for all levels of photographer, all we ask is that you have at least a basic working knowledge of your camera. Because group sizes are kept small, Stephen will have time to attend to your individual needs. We aim to improve your photography whatever your level and will take you to some excellent locations for great photography.
Some guests choose to join us on the holidays because Stephen has scouted out the best locations for the best light, that's fine, he is always there to ask any questions you may have, we've all got things we can learn.
*As there are so many camera makes on the market the only thing we ask of you is that you have a working knowledge of your camera (it`s a good idea to bring along the manual too).

What size groups?
We have small size groups for good tutor to guest ratio.
Our photography holidays have a maximum of 8 guests, some locations have less.

What should I wear?
For our photography holidays to South East Asia, light cotton/natural fabrics are best. Some morning shoots can feel chilly so a light fleece or similar is advisable.

We welcome partners of photographers on our holidays. in South East Asia, Stephen's wife will be on hand to suggest possible excursions.
