Upcoming Photo Tours & Workshops

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.

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.

Wow! What a trip! A photo tour under the guidance and leadership of Martin Bisof. Great itinerary, wonderful lodges, and a wonderful supporting cast of wildlife in the Serengeti, Arusha, and Ngorongoro parks/reservation area.

My second photo tour with Martin. Martin strikes a nice balance between not too obtrusive but helping you when you need it.

Whether you are a novice or seasoned photographer, you will definitely capture plenty of great photographs and expand your skillset as a photographer. He is an all around fabulous guy who is an outstanding photographer, knowledgeable guide, and patient teacher. He is the real deal and highly recommended.

My husband and I went on Martin’s 9-day tour of the Czech Republic and had the best time. The tour was thoughtfully assembled, as it provided the opportunity a wide range of subjects from modern and historical cityscapes, landscapes, abstract patterns, and wildlife. The accommodations and dining were well chosen, and Martin always fostered a friendly and collegial vibe. He not only ensured that you captured great shots, but he also taught the how composition, vision, camera settings and processing all contribute to a good image. And that knowledge is even more valuable than the photos from the trip.

Martin was always willing to answer questions or help with technical difficulties. He has the patience of a saint. The trip exceeded our expectations and we hope to tour with him again.

What an incredible tour! I was able to get the most iconic shots I’ve been after for years. Each day was extremely well organized so that we were able to best make use of the light and location. Even when the weather wasn’t cooperating, there were contingency plans on what best to shoot so that no time was ever wasted.

Martin and Jan’s expertise and friendliness was over the top. Their unique ability to provide individual instruction on both composition and editing to photographers of various levels of experience was amazing. I’m thrilled having finished this photo tour with dozens of pictures I’m proud to hang on the wall and can’t wait to sign up for the next trip!

Thanks Inscape!!!

Martin Bisof of Inscape Tours is a caring guide who goes to great lengths to ensure his clients are satisfied. He takes the time to ensure that everyone benefits. He is patient, educational and pleasant.

I’ve done several photo workshops to date, and I assure you that he is an exceptional guide. I recommend him, you will not be disappointed

This August, I took my third photo trip with Inscape Photo Tours and this one was The Great Migration in Tanzania. As with previous photo tours with Inscape, every aspect of the tour was professionally taken care of. This includes everything from airport transfers to transportation during the tour to accommodations. Communication during the tour was terrific and Martin made sure to make it possible for all of the guests to come away with high quality photos. He selected local guides who know the area well and could get us to the right places at the right times, which was particularly critical for wildebeest river crossings. In addition, assistance was readily available if anyone had questions about camera settings or other aspects of their photography. A selection of the animals that we were able to photograph include: wildebeest, zebras, lions (including cubs), cheetahs, elephants, various birds, serval, hippos, crocodiles, dik dik, topi, gazelles, impala, leopard, giraffe, and baboons.

Being that I am a repeat client of Inscape Photo Tours, I can recommend this company 100%. There is a good chance that I will participate in other photo tours with them as well. Definitely recommend.

10 days in Iceland with Inscape Photo Tour has been one of the great trips for me. Martin and Jan opened a door to post-processing world that I never knew could make your photos go from good to wow. Martin and Jan both are passionate about photography and same passion reflects in their exemplary efforts to make sure every participant became friends with their camera and lenses and had great pictures of Iceland. Visiting Ice cave was one of the coolest experiences for most of us on the trip. Thanks to Martin for going an extra mile to reschedule Ice cave tour with another company earlier than the planned one as weather was getting miserable.  As an added benefit, everyone in the group was enthusiastic and fun to travel with.

Iceland is beautiful country and exploring it with Inscape photography tour was a perfect fit. Now, whenever I take a picture whether phone or camera, I am always thinking “Have I clipped the highlights in the sky or how can I make this composition better” 🙂  Hope to explore another part of the world with Inscape Photo Tours in future.

I have just returned from an amazing trip to the Serengeti with Inscape Photo Tours. Martin our Inscape Photo guide found us far more animal shots than I could have wished for. We did a walking safari, a trip through Central Serengeti to the northern Serengeti.

Not only did we get excellent viewing spot of Lions, Cheetah, Leopards, Elephants, Hippos and many other animals but in the northern Serengeti, one of the most amazing animal crossings of the Mara River. We also saw Cheetah on the hunt, and Elephant crossing and other amazing siting’s too numerous to recount.

I highly recommend Inscape Photo Tours for anyone that wants an amazing photo safari.

I had in mind for a long time to go and shoot Moravian fields. Then I saw Martin’s tour on the internet and did not want to miss that chance. The workshop was beyond and above my expectations.

We had the opportunity to shoot in various places in the Czech Republic. Martin is a very talented photographer and being a local, he took us to shoot at the right time and right places. He is very knowledgeable in techniques and helped us in every aspect of photography. The hotels we stayed at were very decent and at very good locations. Overall, I was very satisfied and I look forward to meeting him in another workshop. Highly recommended.

Inscape Photo Tour to Iceland is a trip I would recommend to others. In November, the days are short, but the experience. Guide, Pedro, took us to all his favorite sites while we traveled the “Golden Circle.” Safety was a big priority, when around glaciers, ocean, in ice caves, and he had a very good knowledge of when Northern Lights were out and when there was weather or cloud cover. We took in lots of waterfalls, glaciers, and black sand beaches. Daily itinerary was great.

It was my second trip to Iceland with Inscape, and I came home with lots of pictures, new friends, and great memories. To be there was everything.

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!

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

Martin Bisof who leads this photography tour, does a very good job in trying to fulfill everyone’s needs and requests. The trip in the Czech Republic was exactly what I expected and for me it was very well organized. Nice hotels and good transportation. I liked the small group size, so people were looked after properly.

If Martin organizes another tour to a location I like to go, I would definitely join again..

“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.”

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!

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!

This trip was fantastic thanks to Martin’s great planning and enthusiasm. Every detail was well executed from the lodging to the photography locations. I did not know any of the participants beforehand other than Martin. The group was diverse, engaging and alot of fun. Everyone was willing to share their knowledge and enthusiasm for getting some great shots. Even when weather did not cooperate, there were plans for expanding our photo processing skills at every level.
I would not hesitate to book another amazing tour with Inscape Photo Tours. Hopefully, soon.

“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!”

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.
