Welcome to your tailor-made photography expedition.
Learn how to capture and explore the stunning rock formations & rugged landscapes of Death Valley.
This is a trip that will ensure you leave with memory cards full to the brim of amazing sights and adventures.
With record ground temperatures soaring to over 200°F at times, standing 282ft below sea level in salt flats and then up to 11,000ft on top of mountains, this is about as extreme as landscapes can get.
Surrounded by rock formations unlike anywhere else on the planet, dry lakes filled with stunning patterns and natural geological wonders, followed by dark skies full of stars all around at night, this truly is a unique place to capture.
Staying in luxury accommodation up-close to our shoot locations, we'll incorporate landscape, panoramic, long exposure and night photography into your custom workshop itinerary, delivering a portfolio of your own stunning images that will be truly unique and special to you.

What's not included?
When your trip is all-inclusive, this list isn't long.
Minus your passports, visas and clean underwear, you won't need to bring much more.
Of course, you might want to bring a wide array of clothing (weather can vary from hot, cold, dry and rainy) plus any medications you require - and if you want to bring your own camera to shoot with, check out our recommended list of equipment here.
Paul carries worldwide insurances for commercial photography as well as public liability, but you should always ensure you have your own travel policy in case of cancellation, medical emergencies or any other unexpected situation occurring. It's also a great thing to consider equipment insurance if you don't already hold it.
