Duxy‘s Escorted Photography Holidays
Mistral Mistral

£1095

Duxy Says...This trip is for anyone who has already been on a photo workshop with me, or if you are already competent in shooting underwater and want to take the next step. Or maybe you just want to be in a great environment of like minded souls and you need a trip that will allow you the underwater freedom to fine tune your skills. We will often do the same site repeatedly so you can go back and try again after reviewing your shots between dives. All the trips are at a time of the year to give you the very best underwater photo opportunities.

North Red Sea Advanced Photography

Dates: 29 Jun 2013 - 06 Jul 2013

Monsoon Monsoon

£2375

Duxy Says...Whilst there are no guarantees about large marine life sightings, we have picked a time of year and specific dates to coincide with the phases of the moon, massively increasing our chances of multiple manta encounters. I’ve chosen Monsoon as it is an Egyptian style liveaboard, using ribs getting us quickly and efficiently to prime locations and changing plans very quickly as the circumstances dictate. Snorkelling at Hanivaru is possible on this itinerary, which is a world famous location for large gatherings of manta, so photographically a trip like this is all about using your wide angle lenses and getting very close to these magnificent creatures

Manta Photo Madness

Dates: 15 Sep 2013 - 23 Sep 2013

Duxy Says... “North Sulawesi is a photographers paradise above and below. Of course its famous for the walls of Bunaken and the mind-bogglingly mental macro muck diving, but there will also be opportunities to do some on land travel photography, so don't forget to bring lenses and accessories for use above the waterline too,and don't be shy give me a ring or mail me if you have any questions”

Mistral Mistral

£950

Duxy Says...This is going to be a great trip to pin down those skills necessary to allow your underwater photography to progress. Maybe you've just got some new kit, and you want to iron out the wrinkles, or you've always wanted to master wide angle strobe positioning. A trip like this gives us enormous freedom to try out things repeatedly, and this is the best way to ensure that the learning sticks, and with every little milestone your confidence will grow, exponentially!

Duxy Says...Truly a place where you can have your underwater photographic cake and eat it. For a diverse range of subject matter, from shooting schools of fish with your wide angle to low light mandarins with your macro, the Philippines has it all literally on the doorstep. This is an exotic destination with an enormous biodiverstity,of fish life and corals. Kasai is a relaxed place for us to review our shots and learn some editing skills post dive.
