Finding a unique destination for documentary, travel, and landscape photography is an adventure that begins with a deep dive into places that feel lost in time—remote villages, untouched landscapes, and cultures that have preserved their traditions for generations.

The journey starts with research, scouting locations that offer a blend of rich history, stunning scenery, and compelling human stories. Once I uncover a destination that resonates—whether it’s an isolated mountain village, a forgotten island, or an ancient town frozen in time—I craft an itinerary that brings its essence to life.

This involves not just a great team on the ground but also identifying key photographic moments, from golden-hour landscapes to intimate encounters with locals, ensuring a balance between visual storytelling and immersive cultural experiences. The result is not just a photo tour but an unforgettable journey that captures the soul of a place before it fades into history.

Our Romania Photo Tour begins in the medieval city of Brașov, nestled in the embrace of the Carpathian Mountains. Here, cobblestone streets and centuries-old architecture set the stage for our exploration. As we venture into the heart of Transylvania, Dracula’s legendary Bran Castle awaits, its storied walls standing as a testament to tales woven through time.

In the tranquil villages of Moieciu and Holbav, life unfolds as it has for generations. We’ll capture the essence of rural existence, where traditional wooden farmhouses dot the landscape, and the rhythms of daily life remain untouched by the passage of time.

Our journey then leads us to Maramureș, a region often described as a living museum. Here, we’ll immerse ourselves in a world where ancient customs thrive amidst breathtaking scenery.

The intricate wooden churches and vibrant local markets offer a feast for our lenses, each frame telling a story of a culture deeply rooted in tradition.
