A photographer’s way to plan the day.

A museum visit, a walk by the river or an exhibition can be a lovely starting point for your afternoon. Allow time between events, and check whether photography is permitted inside.

If you would like help finding the light and the viewpoints, I can plan a private photography tour around your visit. Choose a smartphone walk, a camera walk or a bespoke outing.

Seasonal Cambridge, at your pace.

The Botanic Garden, the college streets and the riverside change with the seasons. For festivals, open days and performances, check the organisers’ current programmes rather than relying on last year’s dates.

For a visit centred on Cambridge’s stories, join me for a private guided walk in French. Bilingual visits are available on request for mixed groups.
