WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
Real experiences from photographers who have joined the adventure.
"Neil has a calmness about his photography which filtered through to everyone around him. I tend to get excited by what's in front of me and want to take a million shots, but Neil's demeanor and focus cooled me down and allowed me to take some of my favourite images ever. His knowledge of the area was superb and when one location wasn't working, he knew of 2 or 3 others that could work better, and they often did."

"What really stood out was how Neil handled everything on the fly. Stepping in unexpectedly, he brought a great mix of humor and direction, quickly earning everyone’s trust. He kept us organized, motivated, and laughing even when the days were long or the plans had to change. His ability to adapt while keeping the group’s spirits high made all the difference. I joined the trip for the photography, but what I got was so much more."

"Despite last minute stepping in as the leader, he stayed composed, organized, and on top of details to keep the trip running smoothly. As the youngest and newbie of photography to the group, he was patient with me in teaching me the basics. I was able to learn about astrophotography as well, which was a fantastic experience."
