Private Photo Tours (multi-day)
Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Myanmar, India
While Luminous Journeys small group, all inclusive photo tours invariably run smoothly and improve portfolios markedly, sometimes your dates won’t match with ours, or you just want to spend more one-on-one time with one of our pros. That’s where the multi-day, private photo tour option comes in. LJ is very pleased to offer private photo tours in Vietnam, India, Indonesia, Cambodia and Myanmar. (For one day private tours, go here.) You can get plenty of ideas and details on the respective tour pages.
The procedure is a bit different that our regualr photo tour workshops. The procedure is laid out for you below. Initially all you need to do is contact us with what you have in mind in terms of the overall photography and locations, and likely dates. If you have a budget you want to stay under, please mention that as well. The more detailed you are, the better we will be able to serve you. A brief introduction followed by numbered bullet points and questions are a GREAT IDEA, as opposed to scattering them throughout a long body of text. This will be very well appreciated. We will do the same with our response.
Multi-day private photography tours can be significantly more expensive than our publicly offered, small group trips. Prices can range from about $400 – $800 USD per day per person depending on your choice of country, season, itinerary, hotel level, number of participants, and photographer. Compare this with the cost of many other publicly offered group photo tours, and you’ll see that even at the higher end these prices are competitive.
