Now, this is an interesting concept on offer if you're looking for some photography tuition. How about hiring the tutor and you get to choose the location or destination that you would like to go for your lesson. This is how Professional Photographer Mark Rayner conducts his "Tailored Photography Adventure".
This is a great idea as you might have always wanted to go to a special location at a certain time to photograph a sunset, sunrise, particular rock formations, landmark or anything other. Why not grab a couple of friends and spread the cost and learn together.
Lessons are offered at all levels, so no need to be shy and if you're experienced, you might be surprised at just what else you might be able to pick up and learn. There is always another level to reach in photography. You might discover a setting on your camera you didn't know existed or how it worked. Discovering new tips or techniques may assist you with your photography practices.
