Who We Are

At LSP Photography Holidays, we create unforgettable experiences through bespoke photography tours in some of the most inspiring locations in Europe and the UK. Each trip blends expert tuition, cultural and culinary discovery, and authentic travel moments, helping you capture stunning images while enjoying a holiday like no other.

Our Story

Since 2015, we’ve been running our immersive photography break in Italy. From Cortona to Perugia and Rome, founder and tutor Lillian Spibey has lived, studied, and worked as a photographer in these beautiful regions. Today, she also runs a thriving photography and teaching practice in Surrey, England, sharing her passion for photography with students of all levels.

In 2023, we expanded into the UK with a photography break in Wiltshire, followed by a coastal adventure in Scarborough in 2024. Each new destination is carefully chosen for its breathtaking scenery, cultural depth, and opportunities to capture truly memorable photographs. Our photography tours are designed to go beyond the surface, revealing hidden gems and offering hands-on guidance every step of the way.

The Team

Lillie has worked alongside long-term collaborator, Charlie Mitford, since our very first Italian holidays. Charlie lived in Italy for 18 years and is exceptionally well connected. Her network of hoteliers, restaurateurs, farmers, and even aristocrats gives our guests access to locations rarely seen by the public.

Together with their husbands, Daniel and Paul, Lillie and Charlie have spent years exploring the Italian countryside in search of unique properties and extraordinary landscapes. This insider knowledge allows us to lead photography tours that uncover secluded ruins, private estates, and off-the-map treasures. Even locals are often surprised by the access we provide.

Why Choose Us

We noticed early on that many companies providing a photography break focus only on the classic “Instagram-worthy” landmarks. Our approach is different. We design experiences that go behind the scenes, immersing you in the culture, the people, the food, and everyday life of each destination.

An LSP holiday is about learning in real-world settings—whether that’s capturing the golden light over rolling hills, photographing vibrant markets, or exploring quiet coastal paths. Our photography tours are engaging, relaxed, and above all, fun.

The Experience

Each LSP photography tours combines professional tuition with carefully chosen backdrops, so you’ll leave with stronger skills and a portfolio of meaningful images. Just as importantly, you’ll share the journey with like-minded travellers, forming friendships and memories that last long after the trip ends.

At LSP Photography Holidays, we don’t just teach photography—we help you experience the joy of seeing the world differently, one picture at a time.
