Tours include tailored tuition on composition, exposure and lighting, practical demonstrations and opportunities to shoot in varied conditions: coastal light at Slea Head, panoramic views of the Blasket Islands, historic sites like Rahinnane Castle and scenic locations such as Ross Castle and Torc Waterfall. Options for minibus travel, short walks and boat trips appear in specific itineraries to reach optimal viewpoints.
Private and public options are available, including private Beara and Killarney tours and private sessions for engagement and couples photography.
