Peru Photo Tour | Landscape and People
The mist comes and goes; the peaks surrounding me seem to be playing hide-and-seek. It was an early wake-up call today, but nothing can diminish the excitement of being here one more time. Minutes later, the rolling fog finally dissipates to unveil one of the seven wonders of the world. This is Machu Picchu, the…
Travel Photography in Varanasi | India
One of the world’s oldest inhabited cities, the holiest of the seven sacred cities in Hinduism and Jainism, this is Varanasi, “the city of lights.” There is no doubt that this is a vivid and captivating place. To me, it’s probably the most fascinating region I’ve ever been to and photographed. This is a continuation…
One Photo | Van Long Reserve, Vietnam
I came across this reserve while scouting for new locations in Vietnam earlier this year.
It was a long day, but worth it despite the weather conditions.
The scene was astounding: a mountain range, water, old classic boats … what else can you ask for, right?
North India | 40 Travel Photos That Will Make You Want to Visit Now
I just finished processing most of the photos from the past India Photo Tour. It took some time, but invariably, my post-processing falls behind. Between trips, planning tours, and everyday errands, working on the images always seems to be pushed back. Nevertheless, now, with everything finished, I just wanted to share some of the photos…
Photographing in Patagonia
I started very early this morning; it was dark when we began to hike. The goal was to reach a location for a sunrise that was about five kilometers uphill from the beginning of the trail. We made it on time, got the shot and kept on going. A couple of kilometers farther the path…
Kyaing Tong in Photos | Myanmar
Heho, Mandalay, Tachileik. Three stops on a small propeller plane is what it takes to reach Kyaing Tong from Yangon. There is no direct service from the capital, and people move in and out of the aircraft at every landing. The legs are short in time, but in the end, it takes almost the whole…
Essaouira in Photos | Morocco
The van stops outside the walled medina. A couple of porters are waiting for the small group I am leading. A minute later, we walk towards our riad amongst one of the most picturesque towns I’ve seen in Morocco. This is the coastal city of Essaouira. Nestled between Casablanca and Agadir, with a view of…
One Photo | Rice Terraces of Tha Pin Village in Sapa, Vietnam
Sometimes you get lucky and don’t have to sweat much for a pleasing photo; this was the case with the image in this post. North Vietnam and the region of Sapa are abundant in photographic possibilities; you can find a variety of subjects, and one of the most recognized themes is, without a doubt, the…
One Photo | Dubai Skyline, United Arab Emirates
When it comes to skylines, few cities in the world can offer as many opportunities as Dubai to do this kind of photography. Modern, vanguardist, and thriving are just some of the words I think of when I recall my trip to the city of dreams. I spent a week there in January 2017 just…
One Photo | Novice Monks in Bagan, Myanmar
Myanmar is a country where the culture and traditions pretty much remain the same today as they were centuries ago. The minute you set foot there, you feel like you’ve been transported back in time. This feeling accentuates when you go outside the capital, Yangon. One of the areas that better conveys this sensation is,…
Havana in Photos | Cuba
Two independence wars, a revolution, a United States trade embargo, and over 50 years of neglect: Havana is complex and difficult to conjecture, yet engaging on its own. For us photographers, the appeal is everywhere. Typical Spanish architecture, recently renovated buildings along with others in need of some tender loving care, patinated walls, old classic…
