Are you struggling to get the best out of your landscape photos? If so, then going on led photography tours with top professional photographer Ivor Rackham can help transform your photography from boring shots to wall-hangers. Unless stated otherwise, these sessions usually last around three hours.

If you want a particular date, then please check with Ivor for availability before booking, as he gets fully booked.

Ivor also runs general photography courses and workshops using some of these locations. You can view them on the Northumberland Photography Training Hub.

What to Expect on Ivor’s Led Photography Tours

The tours are usually in one or two parts.

On the one-part tour, we will agree on a date and time, and Ivor will send you the meeting location. You will also receive advice on what equipment to bring and how to prepare. We will meet near the site and walk to where we will be taking the photographs. On location, you will be shown the camera skills, compositional techniques and positions needed to get the best from the site. We will also look at alternative shots that are different from the obvious.

You will also have plenty of time to take photos, and Ivor will be on hand to answer any questions.

On the two-part tours, a one-and-a-half-hour-long introduction comes first, covering the skills you will need; it usually takes place in Amble. This add-on is only available for those who are booking on a photography tour.
