Indonesia Photo Workshops, founded by Phillip and Engelina Bartlett, has been creating specialist wildlife photo workshops and photography tours across Indonesia since 2015. Drawing on many years of experience photographing across the archipelago, our photographic journeys are carefully crafted around the places, seasons, and subjects that make Indonesia such an intriguing destination for photographers.
Our Indonesia photo tours are built around access, timing, and extensive local knowledge, allowing photographers to work in the right locations and conditions to capture Indonesia’s remarkable biodiversity and cultural diversity. From rainforest species and endemic wildlife to remote landscapes and distinctive communities, each photography workshop is designed to maximise time in the field, providing the conditions needed to make compelling images with depth and character.
With small group sizes and personalised instruction, our photo workshops are designed for passionate enthusiasts through to experienced image-makers. Whether your interest is wildlife photography, landscape photography, or travel photography, our workshops combine expert guidance, well-planned logistics, and carefully structured itineraries to create a distinctive photographic exploration of the Indonesian archipelago.
