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…
One Photo | Crescent City Connection, New Orleans
This is a photo I made back in 2014, right at the time I decided I was going to travel more and concentrate on travel photography. Looking for opportunities close to home, I found decent flights from Miami to New Orleans during Mardi Gras, and I didn’t think twice before booking it. I certainly had…
One Photo | Sunrise in the Peruvian Amazon, Peru.
It was dark in the hut when I woke up, very early. That was my second day in the Peruvian Amazon, and the day ahead would be filled with activities. Because of the heat, in this part of the world you go out exploring at dawn, come back for a rest, and go back out…
One Photo | The Abandoned Boat of Carbost, Skye, Scotland
I first heard of the Island of Skye when my good friend Efisio, travelmate of many adventures and photographer, told me he was planning to spend a week there. I didn’t need much convincing when I saw that the location is nestled in the Scottish Highlands. Shortly after, I was making flight reservations to go…
One Photo | The Camel Herder in Pushkar, India
Beyond exploring, one of the greatest things about travel photography is the cultural exchange. Getting to know other people, what they do, and how they live is always a very important part of any travel story. India is truly a gem—that, I discovered on my first trip there back in 2016. There are so many…
One Photo | The Blue Gate in Fez, Morocco
Morocco is certainly a place of wonders, a country where ancient cities and traditions remain as authentic as the medinas within. At its most basic level, a medina is a walled city. Being the largest of the world, the medina in Fez is probably the best location to get a feel for how these conglomerates…
