Photography Techniques

At Physis Photo Tours, we don’t just take you to beautiful places—we help you master different photography techniques to expand your skills and capture extraordinary images. Whether your interest is macro, long exposure, multi-flash, or fast-action bird photography, our tours are structured so you can practice and perfect these methods in the field.

Year-Round Availability

One of the greatest advantages of Costa Rica is that there is no “off-season” for photography. Thanks to its tropical climate and diverse ecosystems, there are year-round opportunities to capture birds, wildlife, landscapes, and macro subjects. At Physis Photo Tours, we design itineraries that align with the seasons so you always maximize your photographic success.

All Levels Welcome

Whether you are picking up a camera for the first time or you’re an award-winning professional, Physis Photo Tours welcomes all photography levels. Our tours are designed to provide the right balance of guidance, flexibility, and challenge for every participant, so you can focus on enjoying the journey and improving your photography.

Real Local Knowledge

At Physis Photo Tours, your journey is led not only by Andy Bezara but also by a trusted network of more than 50 professional, local guides across Costa Rica. Their knowledge of habitats, species, and photography logistics ensures every tour goes beyond what’s possible with a generic travel service.

Ethical Policies

At Physis Photo Tours, we believe that photography should never come at the expense of wildlife, people, or the environment. Our ethical policies guide every activity we lead in Costa Rica, ensuring that your images are captured responsibly and sustainably. By traveling with us, you become part of a community that values respect, conservation, and authenticity.
