Personal guidance from world-leading photographers
Personal guidance and tuition of world-leading and award-winning photographers including daily photo activities, image-editing workshops and lectures to help you improve your photography.
Quality time in the field
From the first day of our trips, the focus will be solely on photography. We travel in small groups and spend a lot of time out in the field.
When you are not shooting, you will be in image-editing workshops, using Lightroom, as well as have joint picture reviews where you will receive constructive feedback on your pictures.

Contact before, during and after the tour
Before the trip, travel coordinators will answer any questions you may have about the trip or the class. Help can be provided if you want to arrive a few days before the trip begins or providing suggestions for the best flight to get to the destination. If you want to stay a few days extra at the destination and experience something else, the travel coordinators will be happy to develop a program that suits your wishes.
After each tour/workshop, we send out an evaluation that you anonymously can fill in with your thoughts about the tour/workshop, so that we can make your photo adventure a little better next time.
Picture of the Year
Everyone who has participated in our trips/workshops during the year can participate in Zoom’s ‘Picture of the Year’, where the first prize is a gift card of 5.000 SEK.

Previous attendees loved it!
The trip to India’s tiger parks was very well organized. It was clear instructions from everyone (Tom, Alexander and Harri) always left the same message. Tom is a very nice and pleasant photographer leader who shares his experiences and advice. He takes good care of all the participants in a very good way.
Good that Alexander from Zoom was taking care of all the practical things such as accommodation, meals, transportation, etc. In addition, he contributed to the fine atmosphere that was on the trip. It is very valuable that you have a representative from Zoom on your trips. The local tour guide Harri was absolutely fantastic as a guide and he could also tell a lot about Indian culture and history.
Bengt Asplund – The Tigers of India
Tigers Forever, Steve Winter
Just want to take the opportunity to thank you for a nice photo tour. Very educational. In addition to having met some new exciting photographers and having the opportunity to take many great pictures, I have to say that Serkan Günes have convinced me photograph scenery with a tele lens now too! Super fun!
Dennis Berggren – Iceland Photo Adventure
Thank you very much for a great trip with Mats and Daniel. Mats guided us wonderfully and I have received new impulses for my photography and Daniel very well with the organization, especially when flexibility was required. So thank you Zoom Photo Tours for an excellent trip!
