Eyes On Asia & Asian Geographic Getaway Lombok 1st until 5th of July

[felix hug]

Our Lombok Getaway 2010 is launched. This year is something special, as we get to stay at "The Oberoi Lombok": The best hotel on the Island.

The Oberoi Lombok is the perfect location for our activites and cuts our time on the road considerably. The Gili Islands are just 15 minutes away.

You don't have to be a pro, or advanced amateur to enjoy the Getaways: A keen interest in traveling and taking pictures is enough. We had photographers on all sorts of levels in the past.

The relatively small groups allows us to help everyone to improve on their images, regardless the level.

Award Winning Photographers and beginners will have their chance to enjoy the trips.

Some testimonials from our GETAWAY and Workshop participants:

Thank you so much for the wonderful time in Chiang Mai! Traveling with different people sharing a common passion was just a great experience for me. I'm looking forward to more trips like this one It's been wonderful meeting each one of you who made my trip unforgettable in different ways.

It has been a truly exciting trip for both myself and my wife.
We all come from different parts of the world and different walks of life. But to be able to shoot together and share – it’s priceless.
Thanks to Felix, James, Jamie for a trip very well organized.
And to everyone, it has been a meaningful experience for us.

Lee Turner, Finalist UNICEF Awards 2008

"Within Felix's workshops, the world of travel becomes more than the sum of its many elements, and its unique power to inspire, they shed light on the many disciplines required to evolve one's passionate inspiration to professional aspiration. I left his workshop mindful of industry realities while motivated by Felix's insights which are uniquely tailored to each participant; they are designed to invite one to elevate their respective craft to go beyond mere snapshots and make their images truly sing."

Jean, Photojournalist & Mosaic Runner UP 2008

"I took his Intermediate travel photography class and wished that it wasn't over so soon! Appreciate that he has zero airs.. no arrogance despite his achievements, especially when he's achieved so much! As a young freelance photojournalist, I treasure moments like this where I get to meet the man behind the pictures, listen to him speak, question, discuss and learn. Thanks for a wonderful workshop and I hope that there'll be much more!! "

Muha, Winner of the Maldivien Tourism Board Photography Competition 2007

"To describe with few word, Felix Hug's Travel & Destination Photography is absolutely the best! Dazzling landscapes to lifestyle shots absolutely a treat see, chances are that you’ve come across some of his amazing photography. From the captivating ‘Yi Peng’ to the splendid ‘SilkAir’ series, Felix Hug hasn’t failed to amaze me .

It was undoubtably one of the most valuable opportunities for me to have travelled & perhaps clicked a few shots with Felix during his visit to the Maldives. Apart from the valuable moments, it was great to hang around with someone with a cool attitude & sense of humor.
Luckily when "Eyes on Asia" decided to start their own Travel Photography Workshops, it’s everyone's chance to learn some secrets to his world renowned photography.

Unlike other photography teams, they make their living entirely within the world of travel imagery.

"I think the great thing about our Getaways is, that they are not out of the box. We have seen all the destinations ourselves and have handpicked the places we go. We established a network and connections over time allowing us to get more personal on our visits. As much as it's about photography, as much it is about the experience as a whole. People should come home with a full memory chip and a full heart. ;-)"
