Upcoming Photo Tours & Workshops

Had a fantastic 10 days with Martin and Jan in Myanmar. They had a fantastic schedule for us, allowing for a lot of shooting time as well as sufficient downtime and unstructured time. I appreciated that they were flexible with the agenda and adapted for what suited the group. Both Martin and Jan were helpful and focused on helping all participants improve their photography skills and go home with the best shots possible.

Thank you both for an amazing experience! I will definitely be looking for future opportunities to join Inscape Photo Tours in the future.

I am thankful that i was able to participate in your photo tour in Iceland. I was both a great learning experience and a chance for me to get out of my comfort zone. The student to teacher ratio was excellent! You and Jan were able to spend time with us, teaching, correcting, and sharing with us your expertise. I am glad that aside from the technical aspects which confuse me sometimes, you also taught us the value of the story behind the picture. I really appreciated that!

I stumbled across Inscape Photo Tours on one of my many internet searches – and am I ever thrilled that I did! Right from the first contact by email with my initial enquiry, Martin was attentive and helpful answering all of my many questions. And my experience on the tour itself was no different. The tour was extremely well organised and ran absolutely smoothly. I have no doubt about how much work was put in behind the scenes by Martin and his team to make sure things went according to plan – and everything did – making the tour an absolute pleasure to be a part of.

Not only did I learn an enormous amount about landscape photography and editing techniques under Martin’s guidance – I had an absolute blast! (Made even better by the awesome group I was on tour with:-). I would have no hesitation recommending Inscape Photo Tours to both beginner and experienced photographers alike – and I for one will definitely book another tour with Inscape.

Thank you Inscape!

As an experienced traveler and photographer but with little time available, what I look for is to be in the right place at the right time. With Martin I found exactly that…and even more! The trip was perfectly organized. Martin is a nice person all round, a first rate photographer and knows every corner of his country, the best season and the best time to photograph it.

In my group there were also less experienced people and I could appreciate how patient and kind was Martin in offering his expert help and answering all kind of questions. He cares that you become a better photographer.

Thanks for everything, I had a great time and a lot of fun. I’m looking forward to do another trip with you! 🙂

It’s been great to reminisce about our time and trip to Tanzania with others. The real enjoyment was when it was ’today’. The best kind of memories in life is when they come in three’s… like friends, dreams, and memories.

I came home with a blister on one finger from taking close to 5000 photos. I never want to stop making memories with Martin and Inscape . This was not an ordinary trip, and I can’t help but look at all my photos and smile. A memory, to me, is what Tanzania was and I have found that a great experience like this tour does not completely ‘unhappen’ when you have come back home. I can assure you that this is not a trip for large lens on your camera……we got right next to most wildlife.

Guides, drivers, and assistance with taking photos was always available. A must do trip. I’m on my way to Leknes Norway next month for another Lofoten Photo Tour with Martin. Can hardly wait.

Inscape Photo Tours provided one fantastic trip. Jan and Martin took us to the beauty of Iceland and we spent twelve days with ourselves and our camera shutter’s being busy catching the world thru their eyes.  No matter what your experience level or equipment that you brought, they could both help you.  Trip more than met my expectations.  Personally, before this trip I primarily took pictures of birds and wildlife.  Taking pictures of landscape and understanding Martin and Jan’s desire to create composition in your picture was ‘eye opening’ for me. I’m truly glad I went on this trip.  At the age of 72 I was able to keep up with the ‘group’ and they pushed us to have as many experiences with our camera as possible.  My time with my camera will be better, in the future, because of what I learned and experienced with Inscape during this trip.

Due to my very tight work schedule, it delayed for three months after our trip to the Czech Republic to start organizing and post-processing the photos we took there. This directs us to flashback to the days, the four unforgettable excellence private photography tours we were having with Martin. It meant a lot to us, and a lot to describe and review for these unmatched exceptional tours:

First of all, Martin shared with us the best locations and viewing angles to take the photos with his photographer’s eyes, no one else would rush for us to take our good photos, the only time constraint seemed only with our own schedule.
His patience in taught us how to frame with the best composition of pictures brought us with an extremely great harvest of lots of best photos we have ever had with other tours. In addition, his professional photographer’s sense of mind helped us to be capable in creatively and effectively using light and shadows to compose the pictures.
Even I had using the long exposure for taking pictures in the night time photos taking in the past, I haven’t had many chances to experience in extended long exposure with ND filters in my past trips with high and tight time constraint. As with the help from Martin, it was the first time using the ND filters out of my hometown, the photos were with extremely and incredibly significant great results I have ever had, especially those were taken during the limited blue hour time.
Furthermore, Martin showed and taught us how to use lots of the key techniques for post-processing and the importance of post-processing, like the darkroom techniques using with negatives, during the time when we rescheduled to avoid the bad weather time, the rainy hours, hiking in the Bohemian National Park.

Overall, what we experienced and achieved was a lot more than what we could expect. The quality of our trip was excellent. Excellence photography trip with the excellence of guiding. We learned a lot for our future photo trips.

It was a photography trip for the history books!  Each day was filled with portfolio worthy images, a perfect combination of destination, subject, lighting and composition.  Martin and Jan provided amazing guidance both at location and in post-editing to help me take the best images ever.  The trip was filled with adventure, laughs and thrills.  The memories and friendships our entire group made will last a lifetime.   I’m looking forward to many more photographic adventures with Inscape Photo!

“I had a wonderful experience of joining Martin and Jan on a recent Iceland photography tour. The entire tour was well planned, good accommodations, safe transportation and spacious cars for 2 small groups. Jan and Martin provided knowledgeable in photography as well as the locations for the best ways to get amazing shots. It was a pleasant, fun, a lot of memories photo trip, I enjoyed every moment!”

The Lofted Photo Tour was not on my ‘bucket list’, but having gone I would recommend ALL make this trip sometime with Martin. At 74 years of age, I was the oldest on the trip. I joined my brother and sister-in-law and left with more photograph memories than I could imagine. From the minute we got to Norway, our trip began with building a memory…..one day at a time. Martin and Pedro had photography planned before we got to our hotel room. They monitored the weather and times to view the Northern Lights. We were told from beginning to the end of the tour, what to bring for warm clothing, weather, lens, shoes, jacket, etc.. If the weather changed, we changed with it to do post-processing or learn ways to improve our picture taking.

Many years ago I made up my mind to ‘find people doing and going where I want to go in life and grow old with them’. This was my third trip with Inscape and I can hardly wait for the next. You don’t need a large group to have a BIG memory. Martin keeps the size of the group at a size that you feel that you are treated personally with all your questions and desire to learn.

Our InScape photo tour of New Zealand definitely exceeded our expectations. Martin and Jan were excellent guides, everything was well coordinated and they even arranged for the weather to cooperate! In addition to spectacular scenery and shooting locations, their attention and patience assured that we were all better photographers by the trip’s end. Not to mention, it was a lot of fun!

We were very satisfied with all aspects and plan to book another tour with InScape.

The October Czech Republic photo tour was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Martin is an exceptional photographer and understands how to communicate his skills in an easy-going and gentle way. He also makes sure to take care of the needs of his clients, ranging from airport/train station transportation to choosing comfortable and clean accommodations. During our photo shoots, Martin made sure to give each participant guidance and help with any questions regarding camera use or settings. He is also exacting on composition and emphasized how even very small changes to composition can improve an image significantly. Within Prague, Martin took us to locations where we could get both iconic shots and lesser known but excellent and interesting photos as well. As we ventured to other locations, we were given opportunities to shoot unusual and scenic landscapes, beautiful small towns, a castle with its lovely grounds, and owls and birds of prey. Martin encouraged us to use lines and curves within a scene as elements of composition and stressed the power of simplicity. The opportunity to photograph owls and a falcon was simply amazing and was my favorite part of the tour.

For the post-processing sessions, Martin preferred to work with each of us one-on-one. This approach allowed for personalized instruction and editing of a selection of each client’s photos. Other group members were welcome to observe.

On the Czech Republic tour, there is a maximum of five clients, which keeps the group small and allows each of us time with Martin. Our group consisted of people from four continents and it was a joy to get to know each of them. We all traveled well together, enjoyed sharing photos, and had interesting and fun discussions. I would highly recommend Inscape Photo Tours. Martin’s dedication to each photographer’s positive experience is evident. His primary intention is for photographers to be provided with the opportunity and guidance that will result in excellent photographs. It was a real pleasure to have such a conscientious and personable guide. Thank you for the exceptional experience!

I was a bit nervous regarding the extent of the physical and extreme environmental challenges of photography in Iceland at this time of year.  However, Martin’s planning and attention to the details of the itinerary ensured a very enjoyable trip.   Each and every day was fun and filled with learning regardless of what the weather dished out. Both Martin and Jan were committed to making sure everyone came away with great photos and the knowledge to continue in their photography journey.  If we weren’t outdoors on a shooting adventure, we were indoors learning how to post process our photos to their greatest potential. Regardless of the level of ability, experience or camera equipment, everyone was equally inspired and encouraged by both Martin and Jan with genuine enthusiasm for our learning. I will treasure the memories of this adventure!

We’ve done three photography tours with Inscape: Iceland, New Zealand, and most recently, the Lofoten Islands. Each trip was well organized and executed. Martin, the owner, makes sure all the details are taken care of and if there any problems that arise, he takes care of them promptly behind the scenes. From a photography view, Martin is very talented and has a strong eye for composition. He is also strong in post-processing. He will help you as much as you would like, yet let you do your own thing if you prefer. He is patient, kind, and likes to help the participants learn new things. We’ve also been pleased with the additional guides he hires to assist on the trips. They have been equally talented and capable of running tours on their own!

We look forward to taking another photography tour with Inscape in the future. Maybe Africa…

I have booked 2 photo tours with Inscape Photo Tours, the first was the trip to Iceland and the 2nd one was to New Zealand. Both tours were extremely well organized. Both Martin and Jan are excellent in assisting the clients.

I had a fantastic time on both tours and can only recommend taking part in these tours. I am already preparing for the next on in Lofoten!

We enjoyed the tour to Iceland so much that immediately signed up for the incoming tour to New Zealand with Inscape Photo Tours.
Martin and Jan are very professionals. They have the ability to teach at all levels with patience and encouragement.
I’m personally improving my photography techniques by capturing amazing images in some of the most incredible travel destinations under their direction.
We are also happy that we had the chance to meet nice people, especially on the New Zealand tour. We had fun and unforgettable memories that will stay with us forever!

“Attending the workshop in Iceland 2017 with Inscape Photo Tours was one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life. Jan and Martin are not only excellent photographers, but also great friends. They do much more than teaching you the techniques and art of photography. They know how to inspire and motivate the attendants. More than a group, it became a supportive team. I had lots of fun and I´ll never forget it.”

This was my first photo tour with Inscape tours and it won’t be my last. Everything was very organized. As traveling photographers, we didn’t have to think about anything but our camera gear. We had two guides (Martin, the owner) and Jan. Both were wonderful and always willing to help with any photography advice. On a couple of days, we had some local models which we got to photograph in various locations. We also received candid feedback during post-processing which is always helpful.

Martin had all the details worked out ahead of time and was quick to resolve any issues were encountered. Our tour was made up of solo travelers. We had a small group and everyone got along. Looking forward to joining about photo tour in the future!

Since my last trip with Martin and his crew at Inscape Photo Tours, and the wonderful people I was able to meet in Iceland. I was eager to make another one and it was on… Lofoten 2020 Wow such a blast having to meet all the same people and have one of my best time in my life with such a rich country with beautiful landscapes and vistas.

To me Inscape Photo Tours is not only about the actual photo tour and be able to be in front of outstanding landscape, it is about meeting with great people exchange knowledge and most importantly make friends with whom to spend more good times like this. Thank you all for the great time and experience, stay safe and well, for till our next photo tour <3

I traveled with Inscape Photo Tours on their Myanmar Photo Tour. It was an excellent experience! I had a wonderful tour with my guides Martin and Jan. They took care of everything along the way and shared their awesome photography knowledge with each of us.

The tour was great for any experience level of photographer. Our activities were well planned out with many models added to our photography shoots to capture the iconic images of the diverse people of the country. We also had many post-processing sessions to discuss this most important step in our creative vision.
I will definitely be traveling with this company again in the future.
