Papua New Guinea is a relatively young country, having gained independence only 50 years ago, and is home to over 800 different tribes, most of whom speak their own languages.
By venturing deep into New Guinea with our camera, we'll find ourselves at the intersection of pristine nature and ancient culture, where people chop branches with a stone axe in one hand and hold a modern smartphone in the other. Photographing tribes in unique landscapes is not just a simple portrait, but a narrative in which man and nature are inseparable.
Imagine a warrior from a primitive tribe, his face adorned with ritual patterns, illuminated by the setting sun against a backdrop of hazy mountain ranges. Or women dancing on the emerald terraces of a tropical forest.
The people of New Guinea haven't yet been overwhelmed by the abundance of tourists and photographers; they're very smiley and happy to be photographed.
We'll attend a festival that brings together people from all over the country. It's one of the most vibrant and colorful folk festivals in Goroka, attracting representatives of hundreds of different tribes from all corners of Papua New Guinea. Next year, the festival will be its 70th anniversary, and the celebrations will be especially grand! Therefore, the photo tour next year, 2026, will be special.
We'll also be photographing stunningly beautiful birds of paradise in the wild. Many of these birds are found nowhere else in the world.
Madagascar is an island of wonders. This is the only place on earth where you can find many species of animals and plants that are not found anywhere else. Madagascar has a unique combination of African exoticism, wild animals, mild climate and friendly population.
Our photo tour will include two parts. At first, we will take pictures of amazing endemic animals and nature of Madagascar, and then we will go to the festival of whales on the Santa Maria island.
By this time, humpbacks from all over Antarctica swim here to breed in the warm coastal waters of the island. We will be able to make unique photos of the impressive jumps of these gigantic animals.
But first - to the east of the island: We will cross the rainforests that cover the steep hill-slopes descending to the coast of the Indian Ocean. In the Andasibe Analamazaotra (Perinet) park you can find a unique fauna, wonderful orchids, and other rare plants, several types of lemurs, reptiles and amphibians. Most of these animals can be found only in Madagascar.
Then we will go to the Western part of Madagascar. We'll be staying in a luxury hotel on the Mozambique channel. Not far from our hotel, there is the famous baobab alley. Majestic trees have been on this road for hundreds of years. Every day graceful girls with jugs on their heads pass by them, hurrying to the market. Peasants drive their carts drawn by humpbacked zebu bulls. Children learn rousing African dances.
In the morning, at dawn, baobabs are covered with thick mysterious mists, and the age-old trees become even more beautiful. The bright African sun beautifully sets in the wild African bush.
Lençóis Maranhenses National Park is a unique landscape of snow-white dunes and turquoise lagoons that change every year under the influence of winds and tropical rains. The subjects for shooting here are truly unique and unrepeatable. And the red-orange silhouette of the Rio Negro River is amazing when you fly over it in a tiny Cessna. We will spend four days in the national park to drive through all the best points from which memorable and unusual views open up. We will stay in comfortable and original pousada hotels, typical for the north of the country, and immerse ourselves in the colorful landscapes of the Brazilian outback.
The dunes are especially good from the air, so take your drones with you.
This Central Asian country is unlike any other you have ever visited, and it will definitely surprise you in the best way possible – there are not that many places on our planet left where you can experience the true unity with the nature and face an old civilization where people still live their lives like they used to hundreds of years ago. Kyrgyz Republic is a very safe country, and it welcomes everyone who wishes to visit it.
I invite you to a photo expedition to Pakistan, where we will experience magnificent nature of the Karakoram and have a good chance of photographing a snow leopard!* It is one of the most beautiful, graceful and photogenic animals on earth, but also it is one of the most secretive ones. The expedition will take place at the beginning of spring so that we can photograph leopards in the snow. During this time, snow leopards are in rut, and the chances of finding this wild cat increase significantly.

I invite you to a photography expedition to one of the most unusual and little-visited places on Earth - the Mangystau Peninsula in Kazakhstan. Almost unearthly landscapes, amazing colored mountains, rocks of the most diverse and incredible shapes, untouched nature and an almost complete absence of other photographers.
