WHY_Price.png

WHAT GUESTS ARE SAYING

"I don't often leave reviews but I recently attended Victor's Urban Fox Workshop and enjoyed it so much, I wanted to say thanks. By the end of the workshop, not only did I come away with some fantastic images, I also gained some really insightful knowledge to use on future wildlife photo days. I really can't recommend this enough. Victor has a wealth of in the field experience and he is more than happy to answer any questions you have in a really relaxed and easy manner."

David Bint - Berkshire, England

"Hi Victor and Vanessa, just a quick note to say thank you for a great trip to Norfolk. I was a bit apprehensive and as you all knew each other I felt even more so! You all made me feel very welcome and part of the group and comfortable.
Thanks as well for your time in showing me different things and for the great food and the use of the en- suite.
I would love to join you on another trip - I won’t bother to bring my tea making equipment next time "

Lesley Pegrum - Essex, England

"I had the pleasure of joining Victor in Norway on his recent tour  'Eagles in the Snow'. Victor kept us well informed as to what equipment and flight arrangements would be needed, and briefed us on arrival in preparation for the upcoming photography hide sessions. We were well fed and looked after, the accommodation was clean and comfy and everything ran very smoothly.  Victor was always on hand to help with any questions and to share his excellent knowledge.  We did get to capture eagles in the snow and so much more besides! I wouldn't hesitate to book a tour with Victor again"

Lisa Trowse - London, England

"Victor is a very experienced wildlife photographer who knows his craft and understands animals, and under his guidance at his well chosen locations ensures you will go home with some great images" 

Nicky Rochussen - Surrey, England

I found the day extremely helpful and at last I now have a basic understanding and confidence of how to use my Camara. It was a great few hours spent and you explained everything really well. I so appreciate that, I look forward to taking many great pictures in the future.  (Hopefully)  

Louise Fewings - Devon, England

I recently participated in Victor Soares's "Overnight Stay in Skomer" photography workshop and tour, which was an exceptional experience! He is incredibly knowledgeable and provides personalized guidance, making complex wildlife techniques easy to understand for all skill levels even for a landscape photographer like me! Victor throughout the tour was hands-on and suggested new techniques and compositions depending on the weather & environment.

Ridhima Singh - London, England

"I just want to thank you for a wonderful visit to Norfolk last week. I so enjoyed your company and learnt such a lot from you both. The seals were amazing and a big tick off the bucket list. I am looking for to editing them when I pick up the new machine next week. Hopefully you will do the bears in 2026 so I can book again. Have a good Christmas and animal filled New Year!"

Alison Vaughan - England

"Having shot a lot of wildlife before I luckily didn’t need help on my technique. What I did need is someone who knew where to take me so that I could have a good chance of getting the images that I wanted. Victor was perfect for this. He knew the location well as he had been there a lot providing workshops and working on his own photos. I will definitely do one again with him in the future"

Chris Knight - Berkshire, England
