Featured Photographer

Jim Cline, (founder and trip leader), is an award-winning cultural documentary and travel photographer based in San Diego, California.  Jim is known for his willingness to shoot all around the edges of light, creating images with tremendous impact that capture the essence of a place or culture. He always strives to transcend ordinary travel pictures, and to convey a strong sense of place, and the spirit of the people in his photographs.

Jim’s wanderlust and search for compelling images has brought him to many less-traveled areas around the world. He takes particular interest in the indigenous peoples and traditional and tribal cultures of developing nations, and in documenting these disappearing cultures. Through his images he strives to portray the dignity and timeless beauty of these people living in harmony with nature.

As well as winning numerous awards, Jim’s work has been displayed in the San Diego Natural History Museum and the Museum of Photographic Arts, and in many galleries, both in the U.S. and abroad. He gives frequent slide presentation lectures of his travels throughout the world. Jim and his photographs have been featured in several books.

Jim's Business - Jim Cline Photo Tours

For 15 years, Jim Cline Photo Tours has run specialized, small group photography tours. Our photographic journeys are designed to get participants into unique, engaging locations at the optimum times for photography. We have assisted more than 1,000 photographers, from beginners to seasoned professionals, to create fantastic, (often award-winning), images. We travel more slowly than typical tours, providing our tour guests the opportunity to understand the culture and customs of a particular location, and to connect with the local people. Our carefully crafted itineraries are designed to ensure culturally sensitive encounters, resulting in memorable interactions wherever we travel.

We believe that Jim Cline Photo Tours stands above the crowd for several reasons. During the development of each tour, particular attention is paid to the specific needs of photographers. In many of the places we visit, our trip leaders have established personal relationships with the families, the market vendors, boat captains, school principals, and other individuals. This allows for special access for our group members, something that would be nearly impossible when traveling on your own for the first time, or with other, larger tours. At Jim Cline Photo Tours we always limit our group sizes to either 9 or 10 participants. By virtue of this small group size, we can guarantee our guests a more rewarding and fulfilling experience. Additionally, with such small groups, our trip leaders are able to give personal attention to each tour guest and we can be more flexible with each day’s plan, adjusting to conditions and events that present themselves. The small group sizes also means that we spend less time organizing everyone for activities, and when we arrive on location, the photographic interaction between our tour guests and the local people is more easily facilitated.

We’ve put our hearts into these tours, and it shows. We truly care about the experience that each and every one of our clients have on our trips. One of our biggest sources of pride is the literally hundreds of personal, heartfelt testimonials that we receive each the year. We could go on and on telling you how much people enjoy and appreciate our trips or that more than 60% of our guests return to take more tours with us, but perhaps our clients are our best advocates, so have a look at the testimonials section specific to each trip.

Upcoming Events

India Festivals: Holi, Holla Mohalla & Kavant    

February 23 – March 8, 2018

Here’s your chance to witness three of India’s most photogenic festivals, all in the space of a 14 day trip! First we’ll witness Holi Celebration, India’s “Festival of Colors”, an occasion to celebrate the coming of the spring. We will concentrate on photographing Widow’s Holi at Vrindavan, a more sedate and reverent celebration, where flowers are thrown rather than water and color. Next we travel to Punjab to see the Hola Mohalla festival where Sikhs practice their military exercises, hold mock battles and partake in martial arts parades, where Nihang warriors & Nihang Horsemen on beautifully decorated horses display their skills. To round out our three festival tour, we travel to the Kavant Fair, a gathering of Gujarat’s Rathva community, to recreate the joy of existence and life. We will photograph the exuberance of Rathva men and women dressed in their distinctive finery, who congregate to sing, dance, discuss marriages and liaisons and barter goods and services.

For those of you wanting to explore even more, join us on an adventure as we travel over-land to Udaipur, home of the Majarajas where we will photograph the city palace and environs. We’ll be staying at the beautiful Trident Hotel. Spread out over 40 acres and surrounded by wooded lawns and containing 150 year old wild life conservatory, this elegant hotel overlooking Lake Pichola is the perfect spot to wind down your visit to India.

Cuba: Havana, Vinales & Trinidad  

March 11-20, 2018

On this trip we will experience some of the very best photo destinations that Cuba has to offer. John has a great deal of experience leading photo groups to Cuba – this will be the sixth group he has led. We will start in Havana, with its world-class street shooting and so much more. We will organize photo shoots, such as the most important boxing gym in Cuba, Afro Cubano dancers in an old colonial building, and ballet dancers from the Cuban National Ballet posing in an old mansion. We will be assisted local Cuban photographers, and everywhere we go we will meet and photograph the friendly people of Havana.

Next we will explore the tobacco-growing region of Vinales – with its stunning limestone cliffs, or Mogotes. Vinales would be an important photo destination just for the scenery alone, but it is the traditional farmers that make it so great. We are friends with many of the farmers in the area, and they will invite us into their homes, affording photo opportunities that the typical group will never have. Also we’ll be working with a local photographer who was born and raised there.

Finally we will journey to the colonial city of Trinidad. Many consider this Unesco World Heritage site the most beautiful city in Cuba. With the backdrop of the perfectly preserved colonial buildings, we’ll photograph cowboys riding horses and pulling horse-carts through the cobblestone streets, along with the classic American cars. We’ll meet a local photographer there and visit a cowboy ranch outside of town, where we’ll be served an authentic country-style lunch. Trinidad also hosts a thriving local live music scene, and we will have the opportunity to photograph local musicians there.

India: Ladakh, Heartland of the India Himalaya

 July 17-29, 2018

A fertile, verdant region enclosed by snow-capped mountains, Kashmir valley’s beauty has been praised for centuries: the capital Srinagar with its labyrinth of alleyways, mosques and intricately-carved wooden houses; the stunning maze of waterways that comprise Dal Lake and its famous houseboats.

Ladakh has often been called Little Tibet because of its historical connection with Lhasa and its predominantly Tibetan Buddhist culture. Its awe-inspiring landscape has been modified and sculpted into its spectacular shape by wind and water over the millennia. The moon-like scenery is extraordinary: stark and barren but interspersed with isolated settlements of green oases full of swaying poplar trees, apricot orchards and cultivated farmland.

Despite the rugged terrain and high altitude, the people of Ladakh exhibit a natural exhilaration and their customs and lifestyle are a continuum from the past; these friendly and gentle people.  We hope you will join us on this photo tour that shall prove to be fascinating and memorable!

Papua New Guinea: Mt. Hagen Sing-Sing 

August 10 – 24, 2018

Papua New Guinea is a land on edge, and in many areas still a land forgotten in time. Ancient rituals, such as strict tribal practices, even cannibalism, still reside in remote areas. This, along with the untouched beauty of their land and natural wildlife, present an unmatched opportunity to experience and photograph these rich cultural practices that will soon become history.

With more than 1,000 different tribes and languages that historically have warred among themselves over hundreds of years, this adventure concentrates on the Sing Sing festivals that were originated in the mid-1900’s, to peacefully allow each tribe to share their music, culture and traditions. Today, these Sing Sing festivals provide a rich tapestry of cultures that provide for a truly incredible photographic experience. We will have the honored opportunity to experience up-front and close, more than 70 tribes as they prepare and perform for you during the Mt. Hagen Sing Sing. In addition, we will have an entire day in Paiya Village experiencing the Paiya mini-show, (invitation only). We’ll have the opportunity to be truly personal with many tribes as they prepare and perform up-close dances and demonstrate their way of life.

We also will journey through the Sepik River region to experience the dynamic environment of Papua New Guinea and additional cultural festivals. The tribes of the Sepik River provide stark differences in tribal life from those in the mountain region of Mt. Hagen. We will cruise down the Sepik in native canoes to spend a couple of days living among the tribes that still today practice their beliefs and tend to their lives as they have done for many years. It should be noted that the days spent on the Sepik will be truly primitive, such as staying in the local huts and living among the tribes. Whereas we will share huts and be challenged by the lack of facilities (water, electricity, etc.), these days will offer an adventure that will never be forgotten.

During our journey, we will also have time to stop and explore the diverse bird life of Papua New Guinea that is as unique as the cultures, and view the splendid, rugged landscape that is still difficult to navigate. Considered one of the top bird-watching destinations globally, these birds, and other wildlife, cannot be found any other place in the world, such as the famous Bird of Paradise.

Our trip will conclude at the incredible Tawali Resort on Milne Bay. Located in a secluded area of Milne Bay amongst local fishing villages and accessible only by boat, Tawali offers travelers a unique location to dive, relax and enjoy the unspoiled wonders of this magnificent part of the world. We’ll visit local fishing village and participants will have one on one time with Karl for image review. Built on a limestone bluff eighty feet above the water, Tawali offers guests a private retreat in which to enjoy the wonders of PNG.

Go back in time. Experience cultural diversity, wildlife and beauty available no other place in the world. The Mt. Hagen Sing Sing is considered one of the world’s top cultural events that you will never forget. Join us as we take on one of the truly finest adventures on Earth.

Baja Gray Whales  

Venture with us to the winter breeding grounds of the California Gray Whale. Every winter thousands of California gray whales migrate 6,000 miles from the cold waters off Alaska to the warm waters of Baja California. Located near the town of Guerrero Negro, the Ojo de Liebre Lagoon (also known as Scammon’s Lagoon) is the destination of the largest number of these magnificent mammals, approximately 1,500 – including newborn calves – every year. Come with experienced Baja photographer/guide Jim Cline on a trip to photograph these gentle giants at close range in their natural habitat.

Gray whales have gathered in Ojo de Liebre for centuries to, calve, and relax before heading north to their Arctic feeding grounds. To view the whales as they blow, sound, mate, and calve in their natural habitat is an awe- inspiring experience that will never be forgotten. It’s quite common for mother whales to bring their babies right up to the boat for a closer look!

This unique tour ventures beyond Mexico’s scenic waters…we’ll also spend two nights in the heart of Baja’s most spectacular desert scenery in the Catavina Boulderfields. The boulderfields are home to the majestic Cardon cactus, the world’s tallest cactus, as well as a wide variety of photogenic desert flora and massive granite boulders. We’ll also visit the charming palm oasis town of San Ignacio. With it’s lingering colonial atmosphere and friendly inhabitants, San Ignacio is home to one of the most beautiful missions in Baja.

France: Saintes-Maries Gypsy Pilgrimage & Cowboys of Camargue with Patrick Firouzian – May 2025 | Only 1 spot left!

jim cline photo tours

The Camargue is a unique and beautiful region located in the south of France, situated between the Mediterranean Sea and the two arms of the Rhone River delta. It is one of the largest wetlands in Europe and is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, including wild horses, flamingos, and black bulls.

The Camargue has a rich cultural heritage, influenced by its history as a crossroads between France, Spain, and Italy. Its traditional festivals, such as the Gypsys pilgrimage of Sainte Maries de la mer, showcase the region’s unique culture and traditions, including bull games and horsemanship.

We will bring you closer to the authentic beauty and culture of Camargue. Trip leader, (and French native), Patrick Fiouzian, will be partnering with a local expert photographer in sharing their knowledge of the wonderful events you’ll be photographing, providing guidance as needed.

Day 1 (May 21): Arrival in Saintes Maries de la Mer. You’ll be transported from Montpellier (MPL) airport to our resort for orientation and dinner. Overnight in Saintes Maries de la Mer.

Day 2 (May 22): In the early morning, we’ll photograph the Camargue horses in the wetlands. The sight of Camargue horses running in wetlands is a breathtaking and iconic image associated with the Camargue region. These majestic creatures, native to the area, possess a unique and captivating beauty that perfectly complements the stunning coastal landscape.

Camargue horses are known for their distinctive characteristics and their ability to adapt to the rugged terrain and marshy environments of the Camargue. They are medium-sized horses, typically standing between 135 to 150 centimeters tall. Their most recognizable feature is their creamy white or gray coat, which contrasts beautifully against the azure waters and sandy shores of the Camargue landscapes. These horses often run in groups, exhibiting a sense of camaraderie and a natural herd dynamic.

We’ll return to our resort for breakfast and lunch and get a little rest before we head out for an action-packed afternoon.

Forget everything you know about traditional bullfighting. This is something different, something unique to Camargue. In this thrilling spectacle, it’s all about agility, bravery, and a deep respect for the majestic black bulls that call this place home. As the gates swing open, a group of daredevils known as ‘raseteurs’ enter the arena, dressed in crisp white outfits. With lightning-fast reflexes, they dart towards the charging bull, armed with nothing but a small hook. Their mission? Capture the rosette tied between the bull’s horns. It’s a high-stakes game of cat and mouse, as the raseteurs leap and twist, narrowly avoiding the bull’s powerful horns. It’s a display of pure skill and bravery, a dance between man and beast that showcases the incredible bond between them.

The Camargue bulls have a significant role in the local culture and traditions of the region. These traditional bull games, which differ from the Spanish-style corrida, are known as ‘courses camarguaises.’  The course camarguaise is not about harm or domination—it’s a celebration of tradition, strength, and the spirit of the Camargue. It’s a chance to witness an age-old spectacle that has captivated generations, where the bulls are revered and the raseteurs are hailed as heroes. We will navigate around the arena to get the best light and anticipate the bull and raseteur moves to capture the most amazing images.

We’ll return in the evening and have dinner at the resort. Overnight in Saintes Maries de la Mer.

Day 3 (May 23): Dedicated to the conservation and protection of the Camargue’s biodiversity, the Parc Ornithologique du Pont de Gau is a bird sanctuary that specifically focuses on flamingos and other wetland species. The primary flamingo species found here is the Greater Flamingo ( Phoenicopterus roseus ) but the sanctuary is a refuge for many species living totally in peace together. We will witness flocks of birds coming from their sleeping areas for food and company. We’ll experience the flamingos flying and gliding in the morning sun.

For breakfast and lunch, we’ll return to the resort – we’ll have a break before heading back out again in the afternoon.

Sunset brings a different feeling, and we will have the opportunity to witness the mesmerizing sight of these beautiful Camargue horses once more on the beach with sunset lights. Note that we will provide boots to get knee-deep in water and mosquito repellent as needed. We’ll return to the resort for dinner. Overnight in Saintes Maries de la Mer.

Day 4 (May 24): Camargue bulls are a robust and hardy breed with specific physical characteristics. They are medium-sized bulls, and both males and females possess long and curved horns, which are an important element of their visual appeal. Camargue bulls have adapted well to the unique conditions of the Camargue region: the Camargue is a vast wetland area with marshes, ponds, and lagoons – the bulls graze on the natural vegetation found in the area. They are able to tolerate the saline conditions of the Camargue, including consuming the salty water and grazing on salt-rich grasses.

These black bulls have become an emblem of the Camargue, and efforts are made to protect and preserve the Camargue bulls and their habitat. Organizations and associations in the Camargue work towards sustainable breeding practices, genetic diversity, and the promotion of responsible practices in bull-related events. We will photograph the bulls at sunrise along with their guardians. We’ll return to the resort for lunch.

The vibrant town of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer becomes the epicenter of a unique and colorful event in the spring—the Gypsy Pilgrimage, also known as the Pèlerinage des Saintes Maries . This pilgrimage, deeply rooted in history and folklore, is a celebration of Romani culture and a gathering of Romani people from all over Europe. The event centers around the revered relics of the three Marys—Saint Mary Salome, Saint Mary Jacobe, and Saint Sarah—said to have arrived by boat on the shores of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer in biblical times.

The Romani pilgrims, dressed in their traditional attire, make a lively and colorful procession through the streets, carrying the statues and relics of the Marys. The atmosphere is filled with music, dancing, and joyful celebrations, and holds deep significance for the Romani community, representing a time for spiritual renewal, family reunions, and cultural pride. It is a moment to honor their heritage, pay homage to the Marys, and seek blessings and protection for the year ahead. We will start the day with an orientation to prepare for the day ahead so we get the best locations for portraiture and capturing the event.

Although schedules are fluctuating, we will work to capture & experience these key events: Arrival of the pilgrims: They’ll be dressed in traditional attire, often arriving in decorated carriages. Church Ceremonies: At the Église des Saintes Maries , religious ceremonies are held throughout the day. These ceremonies include prayers, blessings, and the lighting of candles in honor of the Marys. The Festive Atmosphere: The streets of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer come alive with music, dance, and colorful celebrations. Romani families and visitors engage in lively conversations, exchange stories, and enjoy traditional Romani music and performances. Trading and Crafts: Market stalls line the streets, offering a wide array of Romani crafts, jewelry, clothing, and culinary delights. Visitors have the opportunity to explore and purchase these unique items while immersing themselves in the Romani culture. Procession to the Sea: One of the highlights of the pilgrimage is the procession to the sea. Pilgrims carry the statues and relics of the Marys to the shore, accompanied by music, singing, and dancing. The statues are then blessed in a symbolic act to the Marys for their arrival in Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer.

We’ll finish up the day at the Parc Ornithologique, exploring the reserve on foot to observe and photograph the flamingos in their natural habitat. At sunset, we will observe the flocks of birds departing for the day, a mesmerizing sight in this magical place. We’ll return to the resort for dinner. Overnight in Saintes Maries de la Mer.

Day 5 (May 25): Stallions in the Camargue can often be observed engaging in various social behaviors, including playing and fighting. These activities are natural and play important roles in establishing dominance and hierarchy within their herds. In the early morning, we will go to a private area and photograph the stallions. Note: The stallions’ performance is not guaranteed and depends highly on their mood. Their guardians will know how best to prepare them for being active, giving us the best chance to capture these magnificent animals.

The pilgrimage events continue, and in the late morning, we will witness the bringing to the sea of Saint Mary Salome, Saint Mary Jacobe, and the processions which come along. This day will be less crowded, giving you the opportunity to get closer and choose alternate locations for your photography. We’ll return to the resort for breakfast and lunch, and the afternoon is at your leisure. Overnight in Saintes Maries de la Mer.

Day 6 (May 26): This morning, we will photograph the Camargue horses on the beach. When you witness these horses running along the beach, it is a sight to behold. Their muscular bodies move with grace and power, their manes flowing in the wind. With their heads held high and their tails streaming behind them, they create an image of untamed freedom and natural elegance. The horses often run in groups, a nod to their camaraderie and herd nature.

The running the Camargue horses do on the beach also serves a practical purpose – it helps to strengthen their muscles, improve their endurance, and maintain their physical well-being. It is a way for the horses to release energy and express their inherent wildness. We’ll have the morning to compose and capture images here. We’ll return to the resort for rest, editing, and lunch.

This evening we will have a Gypsy party with music, dances and local food. Overnight in Saintes Maries de la Mer.

Day 7 (May 27): Salins du Midi is a salt production company that operates saltworks spanning 10,000 hectares, making it one of Europe’s largest salt production sites. The salt pans serve as important habitats for numerous bird species, including flamingos, herons, and other waterfowl. The company works in collaboration with conservation organizations to protect and preserve the natural ecosystem of the Camargue while carrying out salt production activities. The salt pans are shallow evaporation ponds filled with brine, which gives them a mesmerizing palette of hues. Depending on the concentration of salt and the angle of the sunlight, you may witness shades ranging from vibrant blues and turquoise to soft pinks and purples. These captivating colors are a result of the interplay between the water, salt crystals, and the surrounding landscape.

One of the best aspects of the salt pans is their reflective properties. The still water acts as a mirror, reflecting the sky, clouds, and surrounding elements. Experimenting with different angles and perspectives can lead to captivating compositions, where the reflection and the actual salt pans blend seamlessly. We’ll spend the morning photographing the salt pans and the surrounding area.

At sunset, we’ll visit the wetlands again to capture more horses, guardians, and other wildlife. Our evening will be spent at the resort for dinner and rest. Overnight in Saintes Maries de la Mer.

Day 8 (May 28): This morning we’ll meet local models in traditional clothes, as well as our beautiful horses and guardians, spending time with them to capture beautiful portraits. We’ll return for breakfast and editing, getting ready for the evening stallions session.

Our last sunset session will be with the Stallions and landscapes of the Camargue, and we’ll work to capture these powerful animals moving and playing with each other. At the resort, we will gather for a farewell dinner. Overnight in Saintes Maries de la Mer.

Day 9 (May 29): Guests will be transported to the Montpellier (MPL) airport for their flights home.
