There is something completely raw and emotional about discovering a place for the first time and you can be a part of this extraordinary adventure. With up to 10 US spots maximum and 3 already confirmed it is never too early to secure your spot on this expeditionary trip to India.

Our trips to Guatemala these past 3 years have been wonderful social explorations. Many of our students from our first ever trip to Guatemala have returned on their own and with us as teaching assistants to hone their photography skills in a country that has grown to be part of their lives.

This is the kind of once-in-a-lifetime kind of trip that fosters not only great photography but incredible self-exploration and bonds that last a lifetime. Be part of a trip that we can NEVER offer twice. There will be other destinations but only one first time as we travel to India.

Many details are being worked out every day but we wanted to offer this trip at a special discounted "expeditionary" rate. While we always consider the portfolios photographers submit important, prior foreign travel experience and a willingness to be ready for unforeseen challenges are additional key criteria for this journey.
