Private Photo Tours

The first two workshops I went to with Rodney were in Ireland and changed the way I see the world through my camera. Rodney has a talent to helping you look at familiar places with new eyes. Those first two workshops opened my door to a whole new way of thinking about photography. The experience gave me confidence to join my first overseas workshop, to the Isle of Lewis an Harris, one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited and a must for any landscape photographer. The beaches, dramatic scenery and quality of light made it a dream location. We were very lucky with the weather too, blue skies, little wind and no rain. Perfect , making the trip even more special. Next workshop with Rodney was Namibia. Africa has stolen my heart. The itinerary and accommodation that Rodney and his team organized were wonderful. Everything ran smoothly and locations unforgettable. It’s a place I would visit again and without hesitation I would travel again with ROC tours. What stands out most about Rodney’s Tours/workshops both home and abroad, is how effortless everything feels for participants. Every detail thought through and accommodation excellent. The amount of work Rodney puts into each workshop is obvious and almost superhuman. He not only drives us to incredible locations but spend the entire day supporting everyone, no matter their experience level always with patience and a smile even while managing groups of different personalities. I would highly recommend ROC photographic workshops for beginners to seasoned photographers. You will come away with new friends, better skills great memories and a new perspective of the world.

Having attended 8 or 9 workshops with Rodney, I can confidently say he is an incredible teacher and photographer. He has a rare talent for balancing group needs with individual attention; he ensures every person gets the time they need, yet he’s happy to let you work independently if you prefer to focus on your own style. The logistics are always seamless. Rodney organises the days perfectly, ensuring we capture a massive variety of images while still building in necessary downtime to recover from early sunrises or late-night shoots. The accommodation and transport have been consistently excellent and well-planned. Some of the locations he discovers are so spectacular that I’ve already gone back twice! Cant but recommend a photography week or few days with Rodney.

I had the chance to join RoG's workshop in Venice and it was a real blast. He really pays attention to the people and is always available for advice. He is very knowledgeable and happy to share his knowledge with others. I recommend 100%.

I’ve just come back from one of Rodney’s photo workshops, this time in Brittany. It was my fifth with him – and I’ve already got a couple more booked! Every time I return buzzing with enthusiasm, full of new ideas and knowledge and SD cards packed with images. I honestly wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Rodney’s workshops to any photographer, whatever your level. You’ll always come away with fresh insights, practical tips and the chance to shoot in some brilliant locations that he carefully selects. His attention to detail and endless patience make all the difference and he’s always on hand with encouragement and guidance to help you get the very best shot.

Rodney is a fantastic photographer, a great 'logistics manager' but he is also a wonderful educator. I've been lucky to attend a few workshops with Rodney and each time I've learned loads. I can't recommend these workshops more highly, and can't wait to book my next one.
