Meet Your Guide

Hi, I’m Tristan — photographer, wanderer, and seeker of stories.

Remote Expeditions was born from years on the road, camera in hand, heart wide open. I believe travel should go beyond checklists — it should inspire, connect, and change us.

Every journey I design is slow, intentional, and crafted with love — with real encounters, soulful photography, and a deep respect for nature and local culture.

A Photographer’s Dream Tour with Tristan

From the very first communication Tristan was responsive and helpful, receptive to tailor making a travel and photographic experience that was exactly what I was looking for. As a passionate photographer himself, I knew I was speaking with a like-minded soul who understands the specific needs and wants of a fellow photographer.
The tour itself was brilliant. As well as being a capable and professional tour organizer, Tristan is great company and an interesting travel companion.
The special relationship he has built up over the years with the Kogui people and local guides enabled a very special opportunity to visit and photograph them, both culturally and photographically interesting, and a rare, much appreciated opportunity.
Combine this with Tristan’s ability to speak several languages fluently including the local one, and you’re onto a winner!

Fantastic trip off the beaten path

Tristan is a very knowledgeable guide and photographer, and he is also very personable. Traveling with him was a very nice experience and we had lots of laughs too!

The trip was flawlessly organized and Tristan understood our needs very well, tailoring the itinerary to ensure we had the best experience possible. Thanks to him, we discovered Colombia off the beaten path.

Last but not least, I have done a number of photography trips and Tristan is probably the most dedicated teacher I have traveled with. He is really passionate about passing on his knowledge and passion about photography.

I will certainly book another trip with Remote Expeditions in the near future.

Excellent Travel & Photography Guide

Tristan created a wonderful cultural experience for us over a 10 day visit to Cuba.

From a photography perspective, he had researched people and locations to insure the best model, in the most cuban environment in the best light.

Although we were focused on photography, he rounded out the tour with opportunities to experience the history (visit to old sugar plantation), the land (visit to a farm with oxen and a hike to waterfall), and the food (experiencing local food and drink in beautiful settings). I would highly recommend Tristan as a guide. We are already planning our next trip with him.

Locally Rooted, Authentically Crafted

I live and travel across South America full-time, forging deep ties with local communities. You’ll go beyond the tourist trail — sharing meals, stories, and real moments with the people who live there.

Handpicked Places to Stay

Every lodge, camp, and homestay is chosen for its soul and comfort — not just stars. You’ll sleep well, eat beautifully, and feel at home in nature.

Deeply Personalized Trips

We’ll co-create your journey together — pace, interests, photography goals, everything. Whether you’re a slow traveler or a fast hiker, the rhythm is yours.

Visual Storytelling at the Core

As a photographer, I’ll help you not only see the world — but capture it in ways that move you. From golden hour portraits to storytelling edits, I’m here to guide you.

You Always Have Me

No faceless agency here — from our first chat to your return home, I’m your direct contact. Lost a bag? Need a lens? Want to change course mid-trip? I’ve got you.
