We, the Travel With Lesley Whyte team, owe you a heartfelt apology.
To every guest who said,
“We’ll just do one tour with you,”
only to find themselves returning again (and again)… we’re sorry.
To every group of friends who swore they were planning
“just one trip together,”
but ended up having so much fun they’ve now booked another destination with us… we apologise sincerely.
Photography is more than mastering settings or owning the latest camera. It’s about learning to see — and trusting that what draws your eye is worth capturing. For many women stepping into photography, the journey often begins with curiosity and quickly grows into something deeper: confidence, creativity, and connection.
At Women in Photography, founded by award-winning photographer Lesley Whyte, the focus is not just on taking photographs — it’s about capture-to-print, storytelling through imagery, and learning in supportive, small-group environments while travelling to extraordinary destinations.
Whether you’re photographing dramatic coastlines, rural landscapes, or everyday moments, developing your photographic voice is a skill that can be learned, refined, and celebrated.
