The Expedition Photographer: Gear, Endurance, and the Long Trail

The heart of adventure travel lies in the journey itself — the desire to explore and then show it to the world in rich detail. This is a course in reaching the far mountains with a professional kit on your back, and in putting that experience in the frame.

An intermediate, hands-on course in the craft of the expedition photographer: timing a Himalayan season and route; training the body to carry the load over the long day; weighing the true cost of the unprepared; judging gear by performance, durability, and weight; building a full-frame camera kit for the trail; and packing the 40+10L system, arranging the weight, and managing food and language so the long trail stays a joy.

Course Overview

This is an intermediate (200-level) expedition course for the photographer who is ready to leave the day-hike behind and carry a professional kit deep into the mountains for weeks at a time.
