Quest Photography was established by Colin Westgate in 1993 following early retirement from his career in banking. The main function of Quest was photographic tuition, mostly based in the darkroom, but today the emphasis is on photographic holidays and of course tuition and guidance are an essential part of that. Quest's ethic is to provide excellent value for money, with photography in spectacular locations in an informal and friendly atmosphere.  Since 2018 Colin has been joined by Tom Peck, who has now taken over the day to day running of Quest. Tom is busy bringing some fantastic new locations to Quest, both in the UK and abroad. Exciting times ahead!

​

Tom's first love is landscape, from the colourful intricacies of Epping Forest, where he lives, to the wide vistas and dramatic landscapes of the American West - an area he knows particularly well. He is a regular contributor to photographic journals such as Black & White Photography and onlandscape.co.uk. He has completed his LRPS, CPAGB & most recently has been accepted as a Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society with a phone photography submission. He lectures at photographic societies and teaches photography both in the field and in post-production. His passion for the landscape is evident in his workshops where he brings his enthusiasm, good humour and patient style to the fore with his clients. Tom has brought a new dimension to Quest, with his own ideas and some exciting locations. New for 2027/28 are Safari Photographic trips to India, trips to the Carpathian Mountains of Transylvania, and architectural photography in Berlin and Prague.
