Central Asia has an embarrassment of riches when it comes to eye-catching subjects – making it an ideal destination for a new photography tour. World Expeditions’ 15-day Silk Road Journey from Tashkent to Turkmenbashi is accompanied by Richard I’Anson, who shoots for Lonely Planet. He’ll provide informal tuition, helping you get your best-ever pictures in locations such as Samarkand’s Tilla-Kari Medressa, pictured.
