Charli Preston, Senior Partnerships Manager - Intrepid Urban Adventures:

We’ve had the pleasure of working with Les over the past couple of years to create exceptional content for our day tours. What initially began with photography quickly expanded to include video work, and it's rare to find someone who excels in both areas during the same shoot, let alone at such a high level. Les has captured our tours across various cities in Europe, including Barcelona, Madrid, Paris, and Venice, as well as in Bali and several destinations across the USA.

Les’s background in travel industry marketing brings a unique perspective to his work. This experience enables him to shoot and film our tours in a way that stands out from the other photographers we’ve worked with. He understands the importance of capturing not just beautiful images, but also the essence of the tour itself. His ability to work closely with operational teams on the ground makes him an invaluable collaborator—he’s able to anticipate and overcome the challenges that often arise during shoots, all while maintaining a creative vision.

What truly sets Les apart, however, is his professionalism and personable nature. He’s always a pleasure to work with and consistently exceeds expectations. While he follows the brief to a T, he also offers creative alternatives when he believes a different approach could yield better results. He’s highly communicative throughout the process, providing regular updates and delivering the final photos and videos on time, often ahead of schedule.

Les’s contribution has not only enhanced the visual appeal of our content but also strengthened our overall marketing strategy. His ability to blend technical expertise with an understanding of the customer experience has made a significant impact on our tours’ success.
