Colin Westgate established Quest Photography in 1994, following redundancy & early retirement. Having had a lifelong passion for photography, the opportunity to work professionally in the medium was one not to be missed. The main function of Quest is photographic tuition, and arranging and leading photographic holidays. The emphasis is on personal attention and value for money. As well as leading workshops himself, Colin invites other nationally known "guest tutors" These are photographers with special experience and expertise in their particular field.
