Collaboration
In 2018, together with Lex van den Bosch from Fotowandelaars, Anton and Laurien Fotoreizigers set up. Within Photo Travelers we not only inspire each other to design beautiful and well-organized photo tours, photo workshops and photo walks; we also provide quality assurance, and a joint website and newsletter. Where necessary, we replace each other, for example in the event of illness.
We both work with Aladdin Travel when it comes to the organization and logistics of some of the photo trips outside our own national borders. And Clockwork Designn provides for both Photothema and Photo Travelers and Photo walkers the design and maintenance of the websites.
