I will get back to you immediately with detailed informations.
Beautiful landscapes, native breeds of horses, free-roaming herds and regional attractions await you.
Join me on one of my horse photo scouting tours and discover new horses and new locations with me. During my micro photo tours I’m on the constant search for new exciting models and breathtaking backgrounds. Therefore I’m travelling for a weekend or a few days and schedule photo sessions: from the vast beaches of the North Sea to the panoramic summits of the Alps, in forests and fields, in castles and barns. Each Explorer Tour is unique! And each photo tour is a micro adventure. Discover rare equine breeds, free horses, golden Haflingers and other horse beauties with me.
The Explorer Tour is no wellness holiday 😉 depending on the distances I will organise 2 to 4 photo sessions a day. This can be exhausting and we will also spend a lot of time on the road. We will meet horses who have never had a shooting before and are unknown to the community. At the same time I also enjoy meeting experienced horse models which are a dream to work with. Each Explorer Tour is unique, individual and a small adventure.
How to handle unexperienced horses? How to check out the location and search for the best spots? How to instruct the owner and helpers for the best poses? How to work flexible and spontaneous in a short amount of time? How to tickle the best out of a situation?
No teacher-student situation wanted? Don’t worry, we can also meet at eye level and inspire each other by sharing our photographic secrets and enjoy the tour.
Check out my Explorer Events for the upcoming year. Don’t miss to sign up, they will not be repeated and spots are limited.

Experience the freedom to roam in combination with all your favourite equipment. Travelling by camping car allows us to explore longer and wider, with more comfort. The best thing: bring your family or partner! While we are off for horse photography, they can enjoy themselves in their field of interest. This way you can combine a horse photo tour with a family holiday. Oh, and don’t forget to bring your dog too 😉
The Camper Adventure is limited to max. 3 active photographers and/or 3 camper vans.
Let’s go off for intense 2-3 days or extended weekend to roam in a specific area. All days are packed with photo shootings and interesting experiences. We will travel together and spend the nights in hotels or hostels. I will pick you up and drop you off at a station, all you need to bring is your dear and some Wanderlust.
The Micro Adventure is limited to 1 photographer.
Each Explorer Tour is highly individual and I don’t intend to repeat identical tours. Compared to a planned and scheduled Photo Expedition, we will be confronted with the unexpected and some Explorer Tours can be surprising. This is why the Explorer Tours have reasonable prices and are mainly calculated to cover the costs. Please contact me for price and detail of a tour.
I was fortunate to be accompanied by these amazing photographers. Here’s what they say.
Die liebe Cecile von The Pixel Nomad - vor die Linse Fotografie, plant und organisiert immer wieder Explorer Days und am 15. Februar war eins dieser tollen Events! Ich hab mich so gefreut, dass sie für mich noch ein Plätzchen hatte, denn ich wollte schon so lange Haflinger in Bergen fotografieren und bin nie wirklich dazu gekommen. Der Tag war super schön, mit lieben Menschen und Tieren, sehr toll organisiert, vom ersten Kontakt bis zum gemütlichen Abschluss-Abendessen und ich kann die Explorer Days von Cecile nur jedem ans Herz legen! Danke <3
Adventurous, exhausting and awesome.
This is probably the best way to describe the Alm-weekend. If you are looking for locations that you can't reach by car, but only by foot, a tour with Cécile during the Almsummer is the right choice. In addition to unique horses and locations, you will also get an insight into her way of working with horses and an honest exchange (if you like). For me it was a very successful weekend with many special impressions, a lot of kisses from the two four-legged family members of Cécile and lots of new pictures on the hard drive. It won't be the last time 🙂
Noch nie habe ich bei einer Fotosession so viel gelernt wie mit Cecile auf der Explorer Tour. Wir durchstreiften verschiedene Projekte von "Wildpferden" in Deutschland und ich kam mit so vielen schönen und aussagekräftigen Bildern nach Hause. Cecile hat viel Mühe in die Organisation der Tour gesteckt, und so hatten wir ein volles Wochenende mit wunderbaren Reisezielen! Ich würde diese Tour sehr empfehlen!
Wenn du auf der Suche nach einem wirklich einzigartigen und aufregenden Abenteuer bist - dann solltest du Cecile auf ihren Explorer-Touren begleiten! Es war eine wirklich lustige und lehrreiche Erfahrung, mitzumachen, wenn sie neue Leute kennen lernt, über ihr Projekt berichtet und unbekannte Orte und Modelle erkundet. Sie gibt großartige Einblicke in ihre Arbeitsweise und die Herangehensweise an ein Projekt - eine praktische Erfahrung, die normale Workshops kaum vermitteln können. Man kann nie mit Sicherheit wissen, wie eine solche Tour ausgehen wird, aber sie wird auf jeden Fall bemerkenswert sein.
