Belle découverte !

Un super moment, Andy qui est très sympa et pro, son tour est super bien organisé, discours non commerciale, c'est un photographe passionné avec une vrai sensibilité photographique, de l'humour et de la bonne humeur.

Andy est à l'écoute, connait bien le monde de la photo (et le matériel) , il prends le temps de répondre au questions, très ouvert à la discussion.

Amateur débutant ou confirmé, Andy vous aidera à analyser les lieux et à voir les choses avec une approche de photographe expérimenté, ils montrent des exemples de photos qui vous inspirent par la suite pour faire les vôtres.

Très bonne expérience, je recommande !

Très belle rencontre de vie. J'ai adoré mon tour en FRANÇAIS!!! Car oui, Andy parle très bien le français. 😉 . Un très bel apprentissage sur Bruge, sur la photographie, sur les techniques et surtout sur le psychologique (mindset) quand tu es protographe!!!!. Merci Beaucoup Andy McSweeney
P.S. Vient au Québec, on a de la belle neige, cela fait d'excellentes photos 😉😉

Très belle expérience. Andy maitrise parfaitement la photo et nous fait découvrir une multitude de lieux et points de vue dans la ville. Il partage généreusement ses conseils et présente ses photos en exemple.

We spent a wonderful morning touring beautiful Bruges with Andy. He gave us a lot of information about Bruges, it's history and the way of life for the locals.
He showed us a good cross-section of the city, from the canals, to architecture, to some quiet streets with little details that I would not have noticed
As two enthusiastic photographers he spent time encouraging us to try some different compositions and spending time showing us some tips and tricks.
Andy has real passion and energy for his work and it shows.
I would really recommend a tour with Andy.

Andy is not just the best guide in Brugge, he's a whole lot more. I had a personal tour with Andy in May 2024, and he made me think about photography in a whole new light, all while showing the best, most beautiful photogenic spots in Brugge. He's very kind, patient, and knowledgable about not just Brugge, but photography as well. He's willing to teach you all he knows without hesitation. I've considered myself strictly a scenic/landscape amateur photographer, but Andy has helped me understand that there are different unique ways to view a photo. Everyone has their own eye, and all it takes is viewing in a different eye to unlock a new perspective. I've learned how to use the features/setting on my camera, and he shared some tips on editing software and different perspectives such as black and white. These are some photos I took right on the tour with my camera with Andy's guidance. 10/10 would recommend!

As a semi-pro photographer, I questioned whether I needed to do a tour in a city like Bruges, but after corresponding with Andy, I decided to go for it and I'm so glad I did.

From the start, he was very prompt in responses and my questions. I ended up doing the private Edges of Brugge, which is the one I'd recommend as it gets you away from the busiest canals of the city center.

What I always like about a good, well-organized photo tour is that they're such an efficient way of maximizing your chances to get good shots. A place like Bruges that is fairly small and beautiful everywhere might seem super easy photograph well, but its sometimes hard to get unique shots that don't look like the same ones most others get. Andy was great about getting me to spots that had unique compositional opportunities and the potential for things to develop, like places where a boat could come through a great spot of the frame and add another dimension to it.

I also appreciated that it was a good cross-section of the city, from the canals, to architecture, to some quiet streets, to little details that I would probably not have noticed. He also encouraged me to try some different compositions that I wouldn't have normally, and I ended up with some unique angles that showed the streets and buildings from a perspective I wouldn't usually think to try. Andy has real passion and energy for this work and it shows.

One tip I would give is that the private tour is very reasonably-priced and the way to go. You can have a flexible start time and I'd suggest starting early, like maybe 8-9 am or so, so you can get out ahead of the boats and crowds. It's much quieter and you can get some great reflections in the water as it's very still before the boats start out.

Really great experience all the way!

Andy gave my wife and I an amazing tour of beautiful Brugge AND helped us capture some incredible and unique photos of the lesser known parts of town. We learned a little history from a local, got some photo tips, and had a lot of fun on this tour. Highly recommend.

I've taken three private tours with Andy at Photo Tour Brugge over the years. Each time, Andy went above and beyond to make the tour a phenomenal experience. He has always taken took into account my experience level each time, my goals, and my equipment. From the first tour (where he focused on helping me learn the basics of using a mirrorless system) to my most recent tour with him (where he helped me with composition and 'story telling'), he's been wonderful and fun to work with. I appreciate how he takes the time to listen to my questions and goals (including as they change during the tour) and adapt accordingly. I highly recommend doing a photo tour with Photo Tour Brugge!
