We are proud that Footprint Travel Photography is sponsored by two giants in their respective fields: Intrepid Travel and Nikon.

Intrepid Travel: Steve has both travelled with, and lead trips for, Intrepid Travel. Their tours are generally perfect for the travel photographer, spending at least two nights in key locations and staying close to the heart of the action wherever possible. With smaller group sizes, they tend to have less of an impact than many tour companies, which also allows you to relate to local people better: perfect for great experiences as well as great photographs. Long before 'caring' became a trendy marketing gimmick for many companies, Intrepid set up the Intrepid Foundation to put something back into the communities they travel through.

Nikon: Steve has used Nikon equipment throughout his career. Quite simply he believes it to be the best for travel photography. This is not just about the quality of the cameras and lenses, but less obvious things like the quality of flash, autofocus and white balance, servicing and also the build quality. When you use a Nikon, it just feels right in your hand, the software and functions are intuitive and fall easily to hand, and you just know that it is something you can trust.

Footprint: From the first edition of their first book in 1924 to the books that Footprint publish today, one thing has remained consistent: every book is expertly written by authors with first hand knowledge of the areas they write about. Footprint create titles which are rich in cultural and historical content and which offer a level of detail simply not offered by other guidebooks.

Written for independent travellers looking to get off the beaten track and escape the tourist crowds, Footprint are passionate about helping travellers gain a refreshingly different view of the world and making their experience as positive as possible.
