The book in your hands.

What's inside

Two books in one pocket.

Part One is the craft — how to see a place well. Part Two has done the "where" and the "when" for you, across 100 spots in 20-plus countries. Every spot is laid out the same clear way, so you turn up in the right place at the right time and get straight to work.

The Photo Spots book packed in a suitcase with a camera, ready for a trip.
The Photo Spots pocket book held in hand — small enough to travel with.

Shown larger than life — it's a true pocket book, 129 × 198 mm (about 5 × 7¾ inches), made to travel light.

Every spot gives you

Turn up ready.

Read the entry the night before, then scan the code when you set off and it drops you on the exact spot. The rest is patience and light.

  • A locator — map coordinates and a QR code to open the exact spot on your phone
  • A what3words address — the precise three-word location, down to a few square metres
  • Where and when — the viewpoint, the direction, the best time of day and season
  • The one craft tip that matters most in that place
  • A tick-box and a notes line — tick it when you've shot it, jot what you found
Inside the book

The craft, then the places.

Read Part One once and it works anywhere — the far side of the world or a weekend in your own town. Then dip into Part Two wherever you're headed next.

Part One — The craft

Twelve short chapters on seeing a place well.

One idea each, a tutor tip, and a list of "shots to try" with tick-boxes. These missions matter as much at the famous spots as on a wet Tuesday at home.

  • 1Before you go — pack light, plan a little
  • 2Getting your kit there — and keeping it safe
  • 3The arrival — first impressions before they fade
  • 4Fitting in — customs, courtesies & local quirks
  • 5Chasing the light — the hours that matter most
  • 6People — the photos that make a place human
  • 7Markets, food & the life of a place
  • 8The famous thing — how to shoot it differently
  • 9The small details that say "here"
  • 10Movement & night — when a place comes alive
  • 11Telling the story — thinking in sets, not singles
  • 12Coming home — the trip isn't over yet
Part Two — The places

100 photo spots, grouped by region.

The famous views done properly, and the quiet gems most visitors walk straight past — treated gently, and worth the early start.

26

Britain

Scotland, Northern England, the Peaks, Wales and the South — coast, castle, mountain and moor.

Famous views you'll know, like the Old Man of Storr and Durdle Door — plus quieter gems we've saved for the book.
14

Ireland

The Republic and Northern Ireland — wild Atlantic headlands, quiet piers and storybook coastlines.

From the Causeway coast to hidden Atlantic corners you won't find on the postcards.
60

Europe

Across 20-plus countries — from the fjords and the Alps to the Med, with icons and hidden gems side by side.

Icons like the Matterhorn and Neuschwanstein — and lesser-known spots most visitors walk straight past.

Who wrote it

Stephen Walton

Head Tutor · iPhotography

Stephen is Head Tutor at iPhotography, the world's friendliest photography club. The thing that separates the photographs people remember from the ones they scroll past, he'll tell you, isn't the camera or even the place — it's being in the right spot, at the right time, looking the right way, and ready when the light does something. Part One of this book teaches you how to look; Part Two has done the "where" and the "when" for you.

Common questions

The things people usually ask us first.

Who's the book for?

Anyone who takes a camera — or a phone — when they travel, and wants to come home with photographs they're proud of. It suits complete beginners planning a first trip and old hands looking for spots they haven't shot before. You don't need to go abroad, either — there are 26 spots across Britain and 14 across Ireland before you reach the ferry.

How do the QR codes work?

Each spot has a QR code you scan with your phone; it opens the exact location on your map app so you can navigate straight there. The coordinates are printed too, so the book still works if you're offline — and some spots also list a what3words address.

Is the book in colour?

It's a black-and-white pocket guide — light to carry and easy to use in the field. Each spot gives you the exact coordinates, a what3words address and a QR to the map pin, plus where to stand and when the light's best — not glossy photographs to admire; the point is to send you out to make your own.

How long does delivery take?

We print each book on demand once you order, then post it from the UK. UK addresses arrive at the quicker end; international post takes a little longer. Delivery is included in the price — no surprises at checkout.

What if it arrives damaged or I'm not happy with it?

Email [email protected] within 30 days of delivery and we'll sort it out. For a refund, the book needs to be returned to us in good condition.
