I booked the Cape Peninsular photo tour rather spontaneously and was very happy when Greg could accommodate the day tour on such short notice. He patiently explained different technics and encouraged to practice them throughout the day in order to exploit the potential of my camera. At the various photo spots he pointed out interesting photo subjects, angles, etc. which helped me a lot becoming more creative in my photography. He did this without being intrusive but instead gave me plenty of room to explore and try different things myself while he was still always close by when I had a question. In between taking photos we stopped for coffee, lunch and ice cream at some well selected local places which made the tour a success also from a culinary point of view. Besides being a passionate photographer and skillful teacher, Greg is also very knowledgeable about the area and provided interesting information on the Cape along the way. With his easy going nature he made me feel comfortable from the minute he picked me up and in between the photo stops we chatted about anything and everything from politics to sports and travel. I had a highly enjoyable and in terms of photography very informative day and would go on a photo tour with Greg any time again!
