Testimonials

I have had the pleasure of joining Phillip on a few Indonesian trips now and can honestly say that his meticulous planning and attention to detail have made for lots of memorable photographic and cultural experiences. The small group adventures that Philip undertakes ensure we are all well looked after. With the ability to communicate and interact with the locals, Phillip provided us with a number of unique and fun interactions. I am already packing my camera gear in readiness for his next adventure! (Reviewed on Google)

I have done multiple New Zealand photo workshops with Phillip Bartlett (Capture New Zealand) and so when he invited me on an Indonesia photo trip I didn’t hesitate. What a great adventure with an amazing mix of wildlife, landscapes, and local culture. Never a dull moment! And I appreciated that Phillip spoke Indonesian which meant that we could explore places well off the tourist path. The whole experience was far above my expectations and I hope to return to Indonesia again soon on another workshop. (Reviewed on Google)

I recently returned from the “Life on the Equator”, Komodo, Borneo and Java photo workshop with Phillip Bartlett. What a fantastic experience this was! I had previously traveled New Zealand with Phillip and was delighted at the opportunity to travel with him again. This was a trip of a lifetime for me. I was thrilled with adventure (especially the orangutans!), the accommodations, the food (the food!), the fellow travelers (all of whom had also travelled with Phillip before… I think that says something!), and of course Phillip and his carefully curated guides and support teams. I truly appreciated the ability to relax and simply enjoy the adventure in comfort and style, confident in Phillip’s ability to handle the multitude of logistical elements required to pull off a trip like this. Phillip is really, really good at what he does! (Reviewed on Google)

Did a recent trip with Phillip and top notch from start to finish, have been on many many trips with him and there is a reason - extremely well planned, top notch subject matter, and lots of fun. Highly recommended.

David and Wipada Salmanowitz, USA.

Talk about variety! Phillip Bartlett delivered well beyond his promised itinerary! His familiarity with the areas and knowledge of the local guides and drivers really pampered us all. The accommodations ran the gamut from "best available" to 'drop-dead gorgeous'! His understanding of timing & lighting in the mornings in various spots really enhanced both the photographic experience & visual enjoyment. Humor, food, great stories, new/old friends, what could be better than that! Having travelled with him now, three times, we look forward to the next two, and then some!

Alan and Phyllis Britten, USA.

Phillip is an experienced and thoughtful workshop leader. Having traveled with him previously in Indonesia I can say his trips are well-planned, offering a variety of photographic experiences. His years of experience, and ability to speak the local language, made for a journey that was amazing and intimate. I’m looking forward to when I return to Indonesia with Phillip in 2025.
