Immersive Photography Expeditions in Latin America
Imagine yourself not just visiting South America’s most breathtaking landscapes, but truly seeing them through a photographer’s eye. Remote Expeditions photography tours aren’t just trips; they’re deep dives into visual storytelling, designed for curious spirits who want to connect authentically with culture, nature, and their own creativity. Led by me, Tristan – a photographer, nomad, and South America specialist with 20 years navigating these lands – you’ll go beyond the typical tourist trail to capture images with depth, emotion, and soul.

What Makes a Remote Expeditions Photo Tour Different?
The Tristan Edge: Photographer, Guide, Explorer (and Coder!)
Unlike generic tour operators, you’re guided by someone who lives and breathes both photography and South America. With 20 years shaping travel experiences and deep roots across the continent, I blend technical photo expertise with intimate local knowledge. I don’t just point out shots; I help you find the story within the frame. And yes, as a developer, I even built our custom travel app to enhance your journey.
Deep South American Expertise
Forget surface-level trips. My time living, exploring, and building relationships across South America means access to unique locations, genuine cultural encounters, and insights that generic tours miss. We go where the light is best and the stories are richest.
Slow Travel for Photographers
Photography thrives on patience and presence. Our itineraries embrace a slower pace, allowing time for observation, waiting for the perfect light, connecting with subjects, and truly immersing yourself – resulting in more meaningful images.
Our pace allows for more than just capturing images; it’s about connecting – with the place, the culture, and the moment. We build in time to simply be, absorb the atmosphere, and enjoy the journey beyond the viewfinder.
Small, Like-Minded Groups
Travel with a small group of fellow photography enthusiasts (max 8 people). This ensures personalized guidance, comfortable logistics (no crowded vans!), and a supportive atmosphere to share inspiration and techniques.
I intentionally lead only a select number of tours each year. This focus on quality over quantity ensures personalized attention and an exceptional experience for every photographer.
Many of our travelers come through recommendations, fostering a wonderful group dynamic built on shared passion for photography and respectful exploration.

Meticulously Crafted Itineraries
Every itinerary is built from years of on-the-ground experience. I prioritize:

- Unique Access: Leveraging local connections for experiences and locations others can’t reach.
- Photographic Potential: Scouting locations specifically for their visual storytelling power.
Signature Images
Here is an example of what kind of images that you can expect if you travel with me wether you are on a photography tour or an occasional smartphone photographer, I’ll map your expectations into reality
Une tournée de rêve pour les photographes avec Tristan
Dès la première communication, Tristan s'est montré réceptif et serviable, prêt à créer une expérience de voyage et de photographie sur mesure qui correspondait exactement à ce que je recherchais. En tant que photographe passionné, je savais que je parlais à une personne qui partageait mes idées et qui comprenait les besoins et les désirs spécifiques d'un autre photographe.
L'excursion elle-même était excellente. Tristan est non seulement un organisateur compétent et professionnel, mais aussi un compagnon de voyage intéressant.
Les relations privilégiées qu'il a nouées au fil des ans avec les Kogui et les guides locaux lui ont permis de leur rendre visite et de les photographier, ce qui est à la fois intéressant sur le plan culturel et photographique, et constitue une occasion rare et très appréciée.
Ajoutez à cela la capacité de Tristan à parler couramment plusieurs langues, y compris la langue locale, et vous obtenez un gagnant !

Un voyage fantastique hors des sentiers battus
Tristan est un guide et un photographe très compétent, et il est également très sympathique. Voyager avec lui a été une expérience très agréable et nous avons aussi beaucoup ri !
Le voyage a été parfaitement organisé et Tristan a très bien compris nos besoins, adaptant l'itinéraire pour que nous ayons la meilleure expérience possible. Grâce à lui, nous avons découvert la Colombie hors des sentiers battus.
Enfin, j'ai participé à de nombreux voyages photographiques et Tristan est probablement le professeur le plus dévoué avec lequel j'ai voyagé. Il est vraiment passionné par la transmission de ses connaissances et de sa passion pour la photographie.
Je réserverai certainement un autre voyage avec Remote Expeditions dans un avenir proche.

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.
