Niclas Glud
You can find me in rural villages in India searching for the best light. In the Chinese countryside photographing the locals and rice terraces. Or about to hike a mountain or volcano in South America or South East Asia in order to create something special.
As I finished my trip around Ecuador in 2013, I figured that I had found a new love. Not only the love for travel, but also of capturing beautiful moments and tell stories through photos.
Not long after I started studying photography on my own, and devoted every free hour to do so.
I slowly developed my style, and after a few years I started getting jobs from hotels, travel companies, product brands and car rentals.
I have worked with companies such as Visit Karakol, Lava car rental, Walking with nomads, Madeira Round Trip, Killa Expeditions, Trendhim, Ditur, Quintana Sao Joao as well as various tourism boards around the world.
This tour has been created in order to allow you to photograph each destination, at the best possible time. I will ensure that you are at the right place, at the right time. Furthermore I will assist you in any way possible, hold talks regarding composition and light, but also about post processing in order to share my knowledge.
Andrew Dean
I’m a professional Adventure Photographer specializing in meaningful storytelling through euphoric imagery.
Some creds - I’ve shot professionally for the tourism boards of Paris, Brussels, The Kingdom of Morocco, numerous wildlife safari agencies, and other eco-centric tourism companies.
I’ve been featured in Nat Geo Your Shot and also worked in unison with agencies in support of UNICEF projects in India.
From the sweeping sands of the Sahara desert, to the jungles of Brazil and Panama, the adventure has never been more thrilling, and I’m so excited to take you with us!
