Official Apology Statement

From the Travel With Lesley Whyte Team

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.

Wild India: A Small-Group Women’s Wildlife Journey Into India’s Untamed Heart

There are places in the world that stay with you long after you return home — and India’s wild heart is one of them.

Our Wild India journey has been carefully designed under the Women in Photography banner, combining wildlife encounters, cultural immersion, and slow, meaningful travel through some of Central India’s most remarkable landscapes. This is not about rushing from place to place — it’s about being present, observing deeply, and experiencing India in a way few travellers ever do.

Travelling in a small group of just 6–8 women, we journey from the historic streets of Delhi to the sculpted temples of Khajuraho, before heading deep into the forests of Panna and Bandhavgarh National Parks — regions renowned for their biodiversity, birdlife, and the possibility of encountering the magnificent Bengal tiger in its natural habitat.

Finding Your Photographic Voice: From Confident Capture to Beautiful Print

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.
