PARTICIPANT TESTIMONIALS
“Adam took me to take photos of "urban" foxes at a lovely area including a cemetery. He knew the exact places to see them in their habitat. His knowledge about the foxes was impressive and also his respect for wildlife. What also impressed me very much, that as he was there for me to take photos he did not bring his camera. His time was spent in making sure I got the photos I wanted. This is the first time I have come across that. Most guided tours I have taken before, the photographer-guide had their camera and would also be taking photos while you were left to your own devices. So thank you Adam for a great day out!”

“A Photography Tour Of Mull, we all think we can just turn up and nature will present itself in front of us, it rarely ever happens, if at all. What we seldom appreciate is the planning involved, executed to the smallest detail. With Adam it's all about the whole experience, the surroundings, the wildlife, the settings, from beginner to pro. It's a mixture of emotions, relaxation to adrenaline rush, the excitement when you first play back that image, but more importantly fun, without ever feeling out of your depth, what ever level you are at. Until you have experienced one of his tours you really can't comprehend the big "wow" factor of how it all comes together and runs so smoothly.”

“Well what can I say , me and Suze had the best time ever in Mull with Adam, who’s not just a great host but has a wealth of knowledge on all things wildlife, we asked for white-tailed eagles he delivered we asked for otters he delivered we asked for red deer he delivered, we asked for chilli con carne he made the best ever 😂 all things camera wise nothing was too much to explain, my camera is an old Nikon 810d but even I was impressed with my pictures, 10/10 you won’t go wrong booking a trip with him.”

“Adam is one of the most genuine, honest, knowledgeable and talented people I’ve ever met. Going on a workshop with him and two other fantastic photographers was an absolute privilege and the best accolade I can pay Adam is that not only did we come away from Mull with a boot load of fantastic images, but also of lifelong memories and lifelong friends as a group.
Absolutely top notch.”

“I'd only been to Scotland once before and that was very much a fleeting visit so when Adam said he was doing a trip up to the Isle of Mull I jumped at the chance of going along. I'd heard and seen a lot about Mull and had been told many times how amazing Mull was but I couldn't quite prepare for how true that was, quite simply the most picturesque and stunning place I think I've ever been too. Having been on the Norway trip with Adam I knew that he would have organised a great trip and that he wouldn't disappoint. Our ferry crossing from Oban over to Mull was just serene, still calm waters, not a cloud in the sky and warm afternoon sunshine bathed over us as we arrived onto Mull. I realise that probably this isn't exactly typical weather for Scotland but we happily took it and what a way to start the trip. Our accommodation was a lovely cottage, with more than enough room for the 4 of us on the trip. Clean, modern with excellent facilities, Adam had arranged a fantastic base to call home for the next 4 days.
Over the course of the trip we got to experience White-tailed eagles from aboard the Lady Jayne ran by the fantastic guys at Mull Charters, along with other sea birds and sea life, and also getting to see the rugged coastline of Mull which is just breathtaking. For those of you who don't know Adam or have never met him, he is one of the nicest chaps you'll meet, he lives and breathes wildlife so not only can he take you to places to see some amazing wildlife, he can also tell you a lot about the subjects you'll be seeing and ultimately taking photos of, which is invaluable. I thought I liked birds and wildlife but Adam is next level!
Then there is the photography aspect of the trip, there are so many photo opportunities on Mull, literally around every corner is something else or something new. One of the guys on the trip said it was like a postcard around every corner and they weren't wrong. Adam is not only a bloody great bloke, super knowledgeable about all things wildlife but also an exceptionally gifted photographer. Again this is invaluable as he is always on hand to offer support when it comes to settings, or suggesting different approaches to a shot that you might not have thought of, he's very much there to make sure that you get the shots that you want to achieve, or puts you into the best position at least to enable you to get the shot.
This really was an absolutely fantastic trip and hats off to Adam for putting such a wonderful package together. I can't recommend him highly enough so if you're considering a trip like this Adam is definitely the person you need to be booking with, you won't be disappointed. I'm very much looking forward to more trips in the future with Adam, until then. Cheers Pete”

“A wonderful day spent on a one to one workshop with Adam. Adam went the extra mile to make the day informative, enjoyable and find the subjects I wanted at the level I needed. Highly recommend to anyone thinking about a one to one tuition. Five star plus. Thank you Adam.”

“Embarking on a 1-2-1 photographic adventure with Adam was an absolute delight! Our short expedition to capture the enchanting presence of owls was nothing short of magical. Adam's profound understanding of these magnificent creatures effortlessly guided us to their majestic hunting grounds at Staines Moor. Witnessing the graceful flight of 7 owls was a breathtaking experience, providing ample opportunities to hone my photography skills under Adam's expert guidance.
Adam's expertise in both photography and wildlife is truly commendable, igniting within me a newfound inspiration. His captivating portfolio of wildlife captures serves as a testament to his unparalleled talent and passion. Eagerly, I anticipate the opportunity to apply the invaluable skills acquired during the workshop.
I wholeheartedly recommend Adam to any fellow photography enthusiasts. His patience, approachability, and innate ability to grasp individual aspirations ensure an enriching experience for all. Thank you, Adam, for an unforgettable day!”

“Recently had the pleasure of doing a 1-2-1 workshop with Adam Juckes.
What I was wanting to gain from the day was getting to know my camera far more and having the confidence and knowledge to achieve better pictures. Working together with Adam instantly felt as if I had known him for years, felt so relaxed, and gaining so much knowledge from him. I absolutely loved the experience of working together to improve on my skills and also seeing so many species for first time, didn't want the day to end. Will be definitely booking up another workshop with him and have already booked a trip abroad next year with a group. I would highly recommend a workshop with Adam, had an amazing time. Sarah.”

“I recently attended Adam’s Red Kite workshop and all I can say is, it was an incredible experience. Adam was very knowledgeable and it was great to learn from him. Seeing what was once an extinct species in England, due to misinformation, thriving and in healthy numbers, was great. Lots of laughs, amazing conversation and a stolen burrito! Id say that’s a fantastic day!”
- Rui P
“What an amazing day! My wife gave me a 1-2-1 photo session with Adam and we went to Oare Marshes and Elmley Nature Reserve in Kent. Adam’s knowledge of both photography and birding is both enthusiastic and infectious. From being a relative novice at the beginning of the day, I now feel so much more confident with my kit to take more excellent shots. I would highly recommend Adam’s workshop.”
- Jon T
“Highly recommended. Adam is very professional, friendly and always attentive to details. The trip he organized to Norway was an unforgettable experience for any professional or amateur photographer. A real marvel.”

“It has been a lifelong dream to see a golden eagle in the wild and thanks to Adam, he made that dream a reality. I spent 5 fabulous days away in Norway with Adam and the rest of the group. We got to spend a day in the forest hide, where we had a whole host of woodland species along with the amazing Goshawk and then 2 days in the eagle hide where we were treated to the truly magnificent golden eagle, an unbelievable experience and something I'll treasure forever.
Adam really made this a truly memorable trip, he is extremely passionate about wildlife and photography, he was always on hand to offer advice on settings and techniques and is an all round top bloke. If you're looking to get some amazing shots of some great species, meet like minded people and want to have a few days away having some fun with your camera then I can't recommend this enough. Absolutely fantastic trip, thanks so much Adam, already looking for the next one. Cheers Pete”

"Had a great day out with Adam, polite, down to earth and a good laugh. He was great at explaining exactly what I needed to know to improve my photography and gave me new ideas for future shoots.”

“Joined Adam and a small group to photograph eagles in Norway and it was an incredible experience. We got the shots of eagles and a stunning goshawk, as well as lots of other birds. All in very carefully managed locations with the utmost consideration for the wildlife we were there to see. Adam offered great advice on photographing in snow and Lightroom editing, helping me get far better photos than I would have on my own. Would definitely recommend!”
- Gemma K
“What an amazing experience led by Adam to see the amazing Golden Eagles & Goshawks as well as other amazing supporting wildlife in Norway. Everything from helping with flights and the organisation of the lodgings, meals and hide access was seamless. Adam was always on hand throughout the trip ensuring everyone was catered for as well as offering his advice on camera settings if you required it. The post processing done in the evenings were great where others on the tour could share and offer tips and tricks. I could not recommend Adam Juckes Photo more highly. Thank you so much for a great experience.”
— Nigel R
“Wow, I can’t quite comprehend how much I learned. At the start of the day, Adam spent time understanding exactly what I was struggling with and where I wanted to improve - suffice to say, we managed to cover those areas and more. I would have no hesitation in recommending Adam’s workshops, he is knowledgeable and passionate about wildlife and photography and delivers his guidance in a way that is easy to understand. Thanks Adam”
- Ruth D
"Adam fully explained each issue that I had with my camera, in a way that was easily understood & I very quickly realised the camera setting I was using were the main problem & needs tweaking & it really wasn’t as complicated as I first thought. The photographic opportunities were great & I put what Id learned into practise & the results were amazing. I would recommend Adam’s workshops to anyone of any ability or model of camera without hesitation.”
