What Is PicTours?
PicTours is a unique photography experience that blends creative learning with exploration. Instead of sitting in a classroom or scrolling through tutorials, PicTours takes you outdoors — to the heart of each city — where you can learn the art of photography while discovering beautiful locations.
Whether you’re a beginner learning how to use your camera, an Instagram enthusiast chasing better travel photos, or a local who wants to see your hometown in a new light, PicTours gives you the tools, confidence, and inspiration to capture the world differently.
Why PicTours?
1. Learn by Doing
Photography is best learned hands-on. Every PicTour is an immersive experience where you’ll practice real techniques in real locations — mastering composition, light, and storytelling as you go.
2. Explore Iconic Locations
From the cobbled closes of Edinburgh, to the colourful streets of Dublin, to the river reflections of Cork, PicTours guides you through some of the most photogenic places in the UK and Ireland. You’ll uncover photo opportunities and perspectives that most visitors miss.
3. Suitable for All Skill Levels
Never touched a DSLR? Only shoot on your phone? No problem. Each tour is designed for beginners and intermediate photographers, with personalised tips that match your gear and goals.
4. Led by Passionate Local Photographers
Every PicTour is guided by experienced photographers who know their city inside out. You’ll learn not only photography skills, but also insider knowledge about local culture, architecture, and hidden gems — making your shots more meaningful.
What You’ll Learn on a PicTour
During your PicTour, you’ll learn how to:
- Master composition to frame stunning photos every time.
- Work with natural light and tricky low-light scenes.
- Use your camera or phone settings confidently.
- Capture people, places, and textures with emotion.
- Edit and prepare your photos for social media and sharing.
By the end, you’ll walk away with professional-quality images and new creative confidence.
