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.

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.

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!

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.

Just returned from Czech photo tour organized by Martin Bisof . Highly recommended. Imagine having a young, enthusiastic photographer as a friend in Prague who meets you at the airport, carefully plans your tour, books cozy little hotels, knows the best spots , takes care of all your needs. Four very different participants from all over the world had an immediate click. Martin is very knowledgeable in photography, gear and after processing. Always eager to give an advice. What I liked best is his subtle taste and sensitivity, the “cleanliness” in his composition, sophisticated simplicity. We were not so lucky with the “right” , photographic weather. The mist was too heavy in Moravian fields, the sun did not rise over the Prague roofs on the right day, etc,etc. And yet everyone was happy thanks to Martin’s good humor and optimism.

I have been in Prague before and have taken many “tourist” pictures, but on this photo tour, I was not a tourist. I was a photographer (and Martin had to occasionally remind me of that. ) This time, I took photos that were different from those that millions of tourists take every day.
Our tour group visited several places that tourists don’t even know about, and when we shot in the popular tourist locations, we were shooting photos in a different way – seeing the tourist sites through the eyes of a photographer. We looked at details, patterns, and interesting compositions in the Moravian landscapes, and in the many different types of architecture and streets across the various cities and towns. We even photographed some ordinary, mundane things and turned them into fascinating photographs. One afternoon, when it started to rain during our shoot, we found something else to photograph and came away with creative, unusual pictures. I even captured a photo of a “ghost” lurking around the Old Town Hall tower.
Some new techniques for me were: shooting in very poorly-lit locations, shooting long exposures, and using ND filters. I also learned new Photoshop techniques that make pictures pop out more.
Overall, the tour was an exciting experience and I have greatly benefited from it. I am not a tourist. I am a photographer!

A once in a lifetime experience to the Lofoten Islands in Norway! Martin and the team at Inscape again delivered an awesome workshop. Despite bad weather, we had many opportunities to take incredible pictures worthy of any portfolio. Martin and Pedro’s advice on composition, use of light and post-processing were indispensable.

I’ve never been on a workshop where the guides don’t sleep, but are constantly checking weather and aurora conditions to ensure we get the best possible shots! The tour was filled with fun, laughs and great company. I am already planning my next trip with them!

This was already my 3rd workshop with Inscape Photo Tours. Everyone of these trips are extremely well planned. Martin and Pedro made sure that everyone on this trip had a great experience. The group of photographers was very diverse and we all had a fantastic time. I am already looking forward to my next trip with them in the future.

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!

I cannot recommend Inscape Photo Tours more highly. I met Martin after doing a morning photography class in Prague and was so impressed with him that I decided to come on one of his multi-day package trips. I am so glad that I did! My sister, who is a much better photographer than me, met me in Norway and we visited the Lofoten Islands, which were incredibly beautiful. We met up with the rest of our small group and our two guides and quickly formed some new friendships. Everything was organized for us so we really didn’t need to think much, which was great! All of our accommodation was really nice and also within proximity of insane views.

At first, I thought I wouldn’t be taking great photos because I am such an amateur, but with the help of Martin and our other guide Pedro I got the MOST AMAZING PICTURES! I can’t even believe I took them!
Turns out when you have professionals teaching you how to take and edit photos, as well as chauffeuring you around to the best spots during the right times for the best light, you too can be an amazing photographer.

I learned so much and had a fabulous time. I will definitely be doing another trip with this company in the future. This was a once in a lifetime experience, and I am so thankful.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!!!

This Photo Tour with Martin was absolutely great! We did this in autumn, the colors of the fields and the woods were stunning. Under Martin’s guidance, I took incredible photographs, I never thought I would ever be able to shoot such beautiful pictures. Not only the autumn colors, the beautiful sights in Prague, Telc, and Cesky Krumlov, and Martin’s insightful photography advice made the tour a great success for me. A highlight was the (photographic of course) shooting of owls, a new experience, that also resulted in beautiful images.

Everything was very well organized, we stayed in excellent lodgings, and even had the occasion to taste Czech wines (which were excellent). Martin is an incredibly nice person, very patient and always in a good mood. I hope to join him on a photo tour again in the future. Thanks, Martin!

“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.”

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! 🙂

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.
