More personal attention and stronger connections.

Photograph exceptional locations and original compositionsβ€”from high mountain viewpoints in Peru and tree-framed peaks in Patagonia to hidden caves in Saudi Arabia and secret valleys in the Dolomites. Many of these places are virtually unknown to other landscape photographers.

Explore extraordinary destinations such as Saudi Arabia, Peru and Kazakhstanβ€”places still largely undiscovered by landscape photographers. These tours take you beyond the familiar locations and offer fresh opportunities to create photographs that truly stand out.

Learn Max’s techniques for focus stacking, bracketing, shooting into the sun, framing and scouting. Having dedicated much of his life to landscape photography, Max is personally invested in your success. Together with Madison, he’ll be there to guide and support you throughout the tour.

Every itinerary is carefully designed around the best light, locations and conditions, giving you maximum time in the field without sacrificing comfort. Accommodations are chosen for their quality and convenient locations, based on years of local knowledge and experience.

With around five guests on hiking tours and no more than ten on less demanding trips, you’ll receive genuine personal attention at all times. The smaller group size also creates a relaxed, supportive atmosphereβ€”we often begin the tour as strangers and return home as friends.
