Came back with next level photos!
As I write this it's nearly a month since my return from the Dolomites experience with Max and I can still feel the joy created by it. I went with high hopes and had the type of rare experience that exceeded my expectations in every way. My first time there, the Dolomites are incredible, but it was so much more than that. The thing that unex-pectedly impressed me the most was Max, as I'd never met him before. He is as much a kind and caring person as he is a gifted photographer. He is also an excellent teacher, both by intention and example. He displayed a personal interested in each participant. Attention to detail was evident throughout from finding amazing landscapes, offering suggestions in the field, to fabulous restaurants where we dined, shopping for food, hotels we stayed in, and every step of the way his assessing the situation. He accom-modated to the weather and
clearly to the desires of each individual. I feel that I came back with next level photos of my own.
I highly recommend this trip with Max!!

Most amazing photo tours ever!
I joined the Dolomites tour with Max, and I experienced one of the most amazing photo tours ever.
Way in advance he shared all the details of the locations we will visit by day, and this is the first highlight,
although he had planned all these spots he always has plan B, plan C, in case the conditions don’t
cooperate (you can’t control the weather). The previous research Max made on the spots its remarkable, and although the conditions might differ year to year, he can suggest impactful compo-sitions just depending on what he finds. He helps with composition, camera settings, etc, so every participant gets the most amazing shots. A big plus, is that he asks every person in the tour, if they want to share one of their photos, so he can edit them, so included on the tour is not just his courses, but personalized editing on some of the photos we take. Hotels are great, close to the locations, with breakfast included. I highly recommend the photo tours with Max, I'm just waiting for the next opportunity to get into another one.

Immediately signed up for the next tour!
I participated on the Dolomite summer tour with Max Rive and from the many tours I've been on, this was the best photography
tour ever! Not only was the Dolomites tour amazing, but also Max is the greatest Photography instructor! Max does a great
job finding amazing photography spots, and gave instructions patiently and professionally. I got amazingly beautiful shots I will forever remember from this tour. Because I didn't had enough time to process all the photos just yet, I only submitted 3 pics from this tour to the website 1x.com, and two of them are already published,
and one is awarded. After the tour, I immediately signed up for the next Fall Dolomites photo tour. I also spread the word and photos to my photography friends and my community. As a result, over 10 of my friends signed up for next summers tour and als Max's Fall tour (with me)!

Will it not be too busy in the Dolomites during summer?
Although the Dolomites have many visitors in summer - we will barely see any other people and photographers during the time we are out shooting. When we leave after our sunrise shoot to go back to our hotels the tourists will do the opposite by just leaving the hotel to go on a hike when the sun is already long up. The same goes for the sunset shoot but then the other way around. During daytime, we catch up on sleep, go for a post processing session, lunch and on the way to our sunset shoot we visit other places for a quick shoot.
Where can I get the tour information brochures (PDF)?
You will get all tour PDF’s by email when joining our exclusive tour list (CLICK HERE)
What lenses shall I bring to the Dolomites ?
We recommend bringing a wide angle, normal (40-58) and tele-zoom lens to the Dolomites. The normal and tele-zoom lens are the most essential.
How long are the hikes?
The Dolomites Summer Tour is easy, with the longest hike being a 40-minute trek to Drei Zinnen. Along this hike, people will be able to stop to shoot the views around them. Depending on the total fitness level of the group, some smaller hikes from the departure point of each morning/evening are optional.
Can I bring my drone?
Yes, but only outside the National Parks. There are some drone spots, but the Dolomites are still best captured with a normal camera.
What will the weather be like?
The weather during summer in the Dolomites varies each year. Temps can be mild with 20+ degrees Celsius during the day but it is also possible that the temperatures will just reach 10 degrees. At the beginning of the tour, we’ll inform you about the expected weather so that you can be prepared with the best gear for the trip.
Is there a required experience level?
No, we have photographers from all experience levels participating. Whether you ask how to shoot in manual mode, how to take a panorama or how to master the handheld focus stack technique – the guide will always be happy to help and adopt his teaching to each skill level.
Will my allergy/diet be a problem?
Not at all – you will be able to provide us with your allergy/dietary restriction upon registration.
Can my non-photographer partner join for a discount?
Unfortunately, we don’t have different prices for non-participating clients.
