Exciting news for all Irish secondary schools! PicTours is thrilled to announce that we are now open for bookings for the 2024/2025 Transition Year. We understand the importance of providing enriching and memorable experiences for students during this pivotal year, and our tailored photography tours are designed to do just that. Here’s why you should consider PicTours for your Transition Year program.
Why Choose PicTours for Transition Year?
1. Educational and Fun-Filled Experience
At PicTours, we believe in combining education with fun. Our 90-minute photography tours are designed to teach students the art and science of photography while exploring some of Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Galway’s most scenic and historic locations. It’s a perfect blend of learning and adventure, ensuring students gain new skills while having a great time.
2. Expert Guidance
Our experienced tour guides are not only knowledgeable about the best photo spots but are also skilled photographers or low-level influencers. They provide hands-on guidance, helping students understand various photography techniques, from basic composition to advanced camera settings. This ensures that every student, regardless of their prior experience, can benefit and learn.
3. Explore Iconic and Hidden Locations
For Dublin our tours start at Stephen’s Green Shopping Centre and take students to 5-7 spots, including well-known locations like Trinity College, Temple Bar, and Stephen’s Green. Additionally, we visit lesser-known gems such as Love Lane and South Anne Street, filled with changing graffiti and hidden Instagrammable spots. Each destination provides unique photographic opportunities to spark students’ creativity and curiosity.
4. Develop New Skills
Photography is more than just taking pictures; it’s about seeing the world through a different lens. Our tours help students develop critical skills such as attention to detail, patience, and creative thinking. These skills are not only valuable in photography but are also transferable to many other areas of life and study. During each stop, students will learn photography tips and Instagram techniques, including the Rule of Thirds, leading lines, and shadowing.
5. Encourages Team Building and Collaboration
Our group tours encourage teamwork and collaboration among students. They work together on photography challenges, share tips, and learn to appreciate different perspectives. This fosters a sense of camaraderie and enhances social skills, making the experience even more enriching.
