Omo
Have I woken from a dream or did I experience the most unique portraiture photography tour that is possible?
I returned home with the most beautiful photographs of daily life in the Omo Valley, Ethiopia. I would not have been able to experience the immense variety and spectacular moments without the photographic genius, knowledge, and tutorship of Dale Morris. Every magical experience, with the tribes of the Omo Valley, was supported by Dale’s deep understanding and knowledge of the situation.
Even during traveling periods, Dale, with his keen eye for composition, was always on the lookout for photographic opportunities. I think his mantra must be ‘Don’t miss an opportunity!’ If there were herders with cows and a cloud of dust, or a mum making coffee, we would jump out of the 4×4 to capture what became a spectacular moment.
If you are an amateur photographer like myself or a seasoned pro, Dale is by your side to direct, suggest, teach, guide and critique, to get the most out of my camera and to develop your skills and understanding of all things Camera. Dale offered advice on what to shoot, how to work with the available light, and how to compose from a different perspective.
You won’t believe it was you, who managed to pull off spectacular shot after spectacular shot. He also encouraged me to search for my own style, and offered advice and compliments, based on pictures I offered for review.
Dale was extremely friendly, and encouraging, and has an infectious personality, with a quick wit and a deep understanding of the environment.
After having Dale, as a photographic guide, it is certainly difficult to choose another photographic tour. How could there be anyone as fantastic as him?
Thank you, Dale for taking me on the BEST photographic and cultural journey ever.
