There are workshops and then there are really good workshops. I am a believer in providing the best workshops available and Ignacio shares that same goal. I have had the pleasure of working together with Ignacio for several workshops in Patagonia, Atacama and Lofoten, Norway. Each of these workshops took great planning which Ignacio handles extremely well. He’s fun, creative and a genius at Photoshop. Your experience by participating in one of his workshops will be very rewarding

The March 2014 Patagonia workshop was an excellent way for me to get to some of the best photographic locations in Patagonia. Secondly, the workshop enabled me to capture great landscapes and associated flora and fauna images. Thirdly, it enabled me to learn and increase my technical and creative skills in photography with subject matter experts. The workshop’s facilitators provided ongoing advice, support and ideas that challenged my way of thinking when photographing as well as providing me an almost encyclopaedic reference of new and relevant information to develop my photographic knowledge and skills. An enjoyable and very educational trip!

It’s been my pleasure to work with Ignacio on trips to Patagonia & Kamchatka and I’m now looking forward to teaming up again in Madagascar, Finland & Norway. A great deal of thought and planning goes into Ignacio’s tours in order to get participants to the right place at the right time to deliver numerous, wonderful photographic opportunities. He is also an outstanding photographer and very generous in sharing his knowledge. If you love photography and adventure travel you’ll love Ignacio’s tours.

If you are looking for a wonderful photographic adventure led by the internationally renowned photographers Ignacio Palacios and Peter Eastway, this is the trip to do. The southern part of South America with its huge variety of scenery can be a photographer’s paradise: desert-like plains, snow-capped mountains, stunning glaciers and glacial lakes – all crying out to be photographed. And with the support and helpful comments from people like Ignacio and Peter – photographers at the top of their profession – this was indeed a workshop not be missed. A terrific experience – thank you!

In April 2015 I was very fortunate to experience the wilds of Patagonia – Patagonia in autumn is extraordinary. We were treated to perfect autumn weather – every one of the major peaks we visited, Torres del Paine, Mount Fitz Roy and Cerro Torro, were clearly visible as we stood before the magnificence of these amazing natural structures. And on our visits to Grey Glacier and Perito Moreno we had near perfect conditions – a rarity, especially for Perito Moreno, which is only clear on five days of every year. This brilliant photography tour was led by Ignacio Palacios and Richard I’Anson. I cannot express my gratitude enough to both for their absolute professionalism, generosity in terms of their time and willingness to share their expertise and for making this such a fun and exciting experience.

This was a fantastic photography adventure, one of the best I have experienced. What a treat to have the guidance of Ignacio Palacios and Richard I’Anson. Their different approaches to capturing images and post processing provided a rich learning environment and prompted useful discussions and personal reflection. The itinerary was designed to maximize optimal lighting conditions for sunrise and sunset which in Patagonia is breathtaking. Lower tourist numbers at that time of the year made travel easier and gave us more time for a pisco sour or two. Getting up close and personal with magnificent glaciers, staying in a refugio, waiting for early light to hit the peaks, long hikes amidst the colours of autumn in El Chaltén and marveling at the most magic cloud formations were just a few of the highlights.

It is my pleasure to recommend Ignacio Palacios to anyone who is interested in doing sensational photographic tours. I have enjoyed travelling with Ignacio in the past, which is why I’m looking forward to future trips with him. Ignacio is a very competent photographer and also has excellent post processing skills. He is a good teacher, so anyone travelling with him will be bound to learn some very valuable skills and techniques.

I have traveled and co-lead tours with Ignacio to Patagonia, the Atacama region and the Lofoten islands (Norway). All of them were really nice tours and I enjoyed traveling and photographing with him. Ignacio is a great photography instructor, tour leader and I am looking forward to do more adventures with him.

I travelled to Patagonia with Ignacio and it was a blast! I think the mark of a good travel leader is how he or she deals with problems - and when we had a few small issues with transport and weather, Ignacio always found a solution! We visited some amazing locations and Patagonia is certainly on my return list!

I went to Patagonia with Ignacio in March of 2018. This was my third workshop with him. The first two were outstanding but this one was even more outstanding. His selection of the right spots to get the best shots were perfect. He would always take us to several spots to photograph the same landscape from different prospectives. Each location offered the possibility of an award winning picture. I came back from this trip with so many best shots. When I showed my pictures to my friends they would say you got some really unbelievable shots. What made the difference was the composition Ignacio help me select. I’m really looking forward to my next workshop with him.

Having had the privilege of working with Ignacio on several occasions, I can tell you touring with Ignacio is something you will always remember! There are many leading photo tours these days, but none do it like Ignacio, Amazing locations? Of course, Incredible photos? You will have cards full. Loads of fun and tones of laughs? you bet! Anyone can take you to an amazing location, only a few have the knowledge to get you there at the right moment to capture incredible shots, Only Iggy delivers the Amazing Locations, The Incredible Photos in a fun and jovial way, allowing you to relax, forget your stress and enjoy each moment!

I have had the pleasure to co-lead a number of workshops with the character that is Ignacio Palacios. Ignacio works relentless during the lead up to each tour ensuring photographic opportunities are maximised, accommodation is comfortable and a variety of skills are taught. Each workshop has been jam packed full of great travel experiences with plenty of laughs along the way..... Usually at Ignacio's expense.
