"The photographer Scott Trees was excellent. Willing to share, offering tips and support, capable with horses, and friendly."
- Linda Welsh, Canada
Scott brings more than his camera to these experiences, with countless stories from his past that add to his engaging style. Mornings begin with a coffee meet, and evenings may end with stories and laughter over wine.
"It was so nice to have an actual horse person leading, rather than just a photographer who photographs horses. Being able to read the horses was a big plus.
Letting the stallions run at Yeguada Cartuja and spending the day with Clémence and her horses were tops! And everything at the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art."
- Baraba Maclean, USA

Over seven days, this equestrian photography tour unfolds like a film. In the best company of our fun and friendly drivers, the journey in Portugal through ancient stone villages and coastal landscapes set the tone, each filled with color, texture, and rhythm. In Spain, the energy deepens as the horses of Jerez, the artistry of classical riding, and the timeless spirit of Andalusia come together to create an atmosphere unlike anywhere else.
"We were taken care of as though we had been friends. The quality and connection with the horses was inspiring, which in turn translated to emotional photography under the direction of Scott Trees."
- Jean Fitzgerald, USA

The ultimate details perfectly tie the tour together: Choose an optional pit stop at a renowned Michelin-starred restaurant in Jerez, or enjoy a five-star dining experience in Portugal (included). These exceptional culinary moments reflect the same care and meticulous planning poured into every photographic location.
"You are a treasure. I will never forget you saying, 'Put your cameras down, turn around, and close your eyes.' I can still feel and hear the horses running through the river at Sombrero. You have an amazing gift and you share not just what you know but what you feel and sense."
- Mary Jane B. on attending the Sombrero Workshop
On an equestrian photography tour with Scott Trees, the horses become mirrors of emotion, reflecting patience, power, and presence. Scott guides each participant to find not just the perfect shot, but the story within it.
By the end of the journey, the portfolio you take home isn’t just a collection of images. It’s a memory map, each frame carrying the warmth of the people you met, the movement of the horses, and the laughter that filled the days.
