Photographic Travel Planning & Education
Specializing in remote travel photography, including extreme conditions, for landscape, wildlife, astrophotography, underwater, macro, and aerial.
Our Approach
The Philosophy
We’ve had the great privilege to travel quite a bit - some international, some domestic. Every trip is a chance to get out of our comfort zone, see something beautiful, meet amazing people (some of whom have become lifelong friends), and experience something new.
For those of us with cameras, it’s a chance to capture unforgettable moments that we may not have seen at home. But … it also comes with the all-too-familiar fear that we’re not going to be ready to capture the images we hope to get.
Our Photography Travel Planning service gives you a chance to systematically work through the different aspects of how photography fits into your travels. It’s 100% custom to you and your trip - but we also have some great checklists to make sure we cover the most common topics.
Photography may be your main reason for your next trip, or you may just be taking pictures with your phone. Either way, we believe that knowing how photography fits into your travels before you go is just one way we can help you create the photos you imagine.
The Approach
Clearly identify your photography goals for your trip
This can range from getting great photos on your family vacation, all the way up to a Private Safari geared solely for wildlife photography.
Review/Create/Modify Your Travel Itinerary
Note that all multi-session packages include us working with your travel agent directly, as needed.
Identify any topics from our “Plan-Prep-Field-Follow Up” model, and any other specific topics/concerns you would like to cover.
Work through each topic in private 1:1 sessions

Need specific gear for your next trip?
Take a second camera body for additional focal length coverage, less lens changes in the field, and backup in case something fails.
Bring a longer lens for this trip? Depending on your destination, you may or may not be able to go “off-road” to get close to wildlife.
