Photography Tours Inspired by the Natural World
Award-winning photographer, zoologist and author Will Gray leads immersive small-group photography tours, expeditions and workshops in Namibia, Costa Rica and the UK, helping photographers create more meaningful images while exploring remarkable wild places.
Meet Will
Photography has taken me from the deserts of Namibia to the rainforests of Costa Rica, from the mountains of New Zealand to some of Britain's most beautiful landscapes.
Along the way I've been fortunate to work as a professional photographer, zoologist, travel writer and author, contributing to publications including The Telegraph, Wanderlust and Travel Africa, writing over 10 books, including Photography Weekends Britain, and sharing my passion for wildlife and landscapes through talks and photography workshops.
Today, I lead a small number of carefully designed photography tours and workshops in places I know intimately. Whether you're joining me for a day in the Cotswolds or embarking on a three-week overseas expedition, my aim is always the same: to help you slow down, observe more carefully and create more meaningful photographs while enjoying unforgettable experiences in the natural world.
As featured in The Telegraph, Travel Africa magazine and Bradt Guides
20+ awards for journalism, including BGTW Travel Photographer of the Year
Author of 12 books, including Photography Weekends Britain

BRITAIN
3 NIGHTS • SMALL GROUP (3) • WINTER • DAWN TO DUSK
Far West Cornwall
Join me chasing the light across the breathtaking Penwith Peninsula. We'll be out from before dawn to after dusk, honing 'blue hour' photography techniques, as well as capturing dynamic winter light (and weather) at locations such as Porth Nanven, Botallack and St Michael's Mount.

Lake District Landscapes
Late autumn in the Lakes is a rewarding time of year, with rich colours, ever-changing light conditions and perhaps even a dusting of snow on the mountaintops. We'll be based in Great Langdale or Borrowdale, photographing from dawn to dusk and mastering light and composition.
