I regularly lead small groups of enthusiast photographers to some of the most spectacular and interesting places on earth.
The international trips are open to a maximum of 12 photographers and run between 10 and 21 days. Closer to home, and in collaboration with Wild Bush Luxury and Baillie Lodges, I host five-day photographic safaris at stunning locations in the Australian outback.
The trips give participants with a special interest in photography the opportunity to develop their technical and creative skills through informal tuition, discussion and feedback while taking pictures in inspirational locations. No matter what equipment you use I’ll do my best to help you improve your camera skills with practical guidance on all aspects of travel photography. Each day is planned to maximise photographic opportunities. My aim is to get the group to the right place at the right time to give you the best opportunity of capturing great photographs in the best possible light. And we have a lot of fun too!

Testimonials
I am writing to express my appreciation for the way you conduct your photography tours and mentoring. The time you spent with me on Lightroom and my images was very much appreciated: another step-wise increase in my understanding of photography.

We are still dreaming of wonderful pictures we have seen on our trip to Arkaba and Kangaroo Island, thank you for two wonderful and very educative workshops. We are looking forward to our next workshop, see you next year. Ute and Gunther, Arkaba & Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre 2018 & Kangaroo Island Photo Safari 2019
What a fantastic experience the Peru trip was. Once again, Richard delivered the best one could expect from a photo tour. If you enjoy photography and travel (not to mention food and wine), then Richard's trips are perfect. Peter, Peru Photography Tour 2016
I cannot say how much we enjoyed the past few days. Thank you so much for all your help, patience, expertise and good humour. From top to bottom Bamurru has been a special experience and a very special time. Malcolm & Wendy, Bamurru Photo Safari 201
Since 2013 I have participated in 40 photo tours led by 25 professional photographers worldwide. It has been a fascinating, fabulous photography journey. That said, Richard is the photographer whom I have undoubtedly learnt the most from. Ever approachable and always encouraging, his exceptional mentoring, patience, generosity, skill and professionalism is perfectly balanced by the fun and variety he offers on his trips. Meticulously planned, perfectly executed and jam packed with adventure and variety his tours are perfect for aspiring photographers of all levels.
Clara, Turkey, Peru, Ladakh & more Photography Tours from 2013-2023
The Silk Road with Richard I'Anson was such a great trip. Memorable for so many reasons - the great company, the fabulous photos, the many laughs and a recipe for the perfect Negroni! And thanks to you, Richard, for making it all run smoothly and for your endless good humour and patience with those of us who were tripod and ISO challenged.
Ros, Central Asia Photography Tour 2019
Thank you so much for the best photography workshop that I have been on. The opportunities to shoot such a variety of subject matter in such a stunning location was very special. Your patience and help was very much appreciated. Also, your organisation and getting us to the right locations at the right time is to be commended. I know it is difficult to make sure that all participants adhere to the timeline but you managed to do this so thank you.
Kaye, Bamurru Photo Safari 2018
I wanted to thank you for a really great trip and
bringing Asia closer to me and for having the
opportunity to take pictures from a different point
of view and a different way of techniques and settings.
