Darren J. Spoonley Author

When I was designing these photography location guidebooks, I wanted them to serve as essential companions for photographers seeking to unearth the best shooting spots. These guides offer a treasure trove of meticulously curated locations, saving you time and effort by providing insights into optimal times, lighting conditions, and perspectives. With expert advice and firsthand accounts, these guidebooks offer a deeper connection to the surroundings, unlocking hidden gems and ensuring remarkable photography experiences. Whether exploring new landscapes or rediscovering familiar ones, these guides elevate photography journeys, helping capture the essence of each location with precision and creativity. Each guide comes with example images from each specific location, helpful YouTube videos recorded from each location to give you a more informed view even before you set foot on the soil there. Exclusive access to your interactive map helps you plan your exact route to arrive precisely at location or plan an interconnecting route also!

All designed with one thing in mind. The help you get your next banger shot(s)

I hope you enjoy each guide and thanks for your continued support
