An Unforgettable Visual Feast Of Natural Beauty!
I have participated in several photography trips organised by reputable photographers and guides. Fresh from our recently concluded trip to Guilin, Yangshuo and Longji, I will say Mercier is absolutely top rate when it comes to trip planning and looking after his guests. Apart from a carefully planned shoot schedule and finding the best locations, he was very mindful of our individual photographic aspirations. Always accommodating and ever-ready with practical advice to our questions, it made for a wonderful experience for photographers of all skill levels. Beyond the advantage of local knowledge, being an accomplished photographer himself helps with guiding us to capturing the best shots from the right place and at the right time..... which means very early 4am wake-up calls to hike up 1000 steps to capture some gorgeous sunrise over the karst mountains! The quality of our accommodation and transport was excellent and there was ample leisure time which allowed us to recover and relax. Along with interesting facts and history of each location, it made for a wonderful experience which I am sure we will appreciate the background as we review the photos from our trip. I strongly recommend engaging Mercier if you expect nothing but the best for a guided photography trip in China, especially to the Guangxi region. Mercier is beyond your regular guide because he makes a real effort to ensure you have a great time photographing people and places that are just simply unforgettable! As photographers, we are mere visual messengers of the beautiful imagery we witness, so enjoy the experience if you can!
