A big thank you to Steve, Rose and Jonas for leading an amazing week in the Galapagos. As a photographer, I especially appreciated that our landings were largely timed to take advantage of early and late light. The itinerary visited multiple wildlife rich sites and we were often the only group in the area. A special shout out, too, to James, our naturalist guide, who provided a wealth of information about the birds and animals we were seeing and located several of the birds I'd hoped to see and photograph.

In my opinion, and I have been with other outfitters, there is no finer outfitter to use for a photographic trip/expedition, than Jonas and Terra Photography Expeditions. 

The entire trip was super smooth, all our photographic expectations were more than met. Our experience was perfect. Our accommodations and meals were superb. There are no finer guides and instructors to found anywhere. Kudos to Jonas and his support team. I will be looking at Terra's other expeditions for my next trip.

Like other Backcountry Gallery workshops, the trip to the Galapagos was excellent. The organization of logistics, coordinated with Jonas Paurell of Terra Photography Expeditions, was seamless. Each day was well-planned with a wonderful mix of activities: photo shoots on shore, snorkeling adventures, and lectures on photo techniques. The boat was very comfortable with ample room to gather as a group or find quiet spaces to just enjoy the warm ocean breezes. As always, post processing all my images will take weeks but that is also part of the fun!

An expedition of a lifetime! 

The build-up and expectation management by the Terra team was timely and hugely helpful. This included preparing us to bring the right clothes as well as helping us to make informed choices about our camera gear! And then the ship (Galapagos Horizon) was simply spectacular. It was very comfortable and spacious with every possible facility but topped off by a crew of 12, every one of whom went out of their way to assist each one of us in every aspect of our daily activities - feeding us, providing us with every possible drink, assisting us with boarding and disembarking and always with respect and smiles! 

Jonas ran the workshop seamlessly. From making sure that we all knew what was expected of us to providing relevant technical assistance throughout and topped off with an excellent lecture on composition which was hugely helpful. James our naturalist was the star of the show! There is so much to learn in the Galagos (the wildlife is so different to anything we have ever experienced) and James knew it all. From leading our multiple snorkel swims to his wildlife knowledge to his command of the English language to his sense of humour, he was at the centre of every special moment in the Galapagos!

My wife Kathy and I recently returned from a trip to the Galapagos Islands that was hosted by Steve and Rose Perry in conjunction with Jonas Paurell of Terra Photography Expeditions. We spent a week on a very comfortable boat. Our cabin was larger than I expected and had its own bathroom. The crew was very helpful, even hanging our wet clothes in the engine room to dry everyday.

The trip schedule was well organized, and we were able to see and photograph many of the iconic Galapagos animal species. While we went out at least twice every day, once in the early morning and once in the late afternoon, to photograph, one of the highlights of the trip was that we had other activities available during the rest of the day. These activities included snorkeling at least once a day, sessions on editing by Steve, and sessions on photo critiques. Jonas gave a valuable lecture on composition and planning your shot. For me, the snorkeling was a major highlight. We saw 4 species of sharks, including hammerheads, snorkeled in a large pod of bottlenose dolphins, and swam with a good number of sea lions.

As usual for trips with Steve and Rose, all of the logistics of the trip were handled seamlessly. Rose was always available to help with any problem that arose, and Steve was always available to help with photography questions. Jonas only added his expertise at logistics to the overall great organization of the trip.

This trip was during the rainy season, which is the best time to go. We did have some rain, but were only rained out of one photo excursion. We did go out in the rain to photograph some penguins on the rocks, but I am hoping that this made for some interesting shots. I think we were lucky with the weather, but the only way to see what the weather will be like is to go on the trip and hope for the best!

As you can tell, I highly recommend this trip and strongly suggest that any one interested in a Galapagos trip put this one high on their list.

We just returned from a memorable photography tour of the east side of the Galapagos islands, organized by Steve and Rose Perry, and Jonas Paurell. We are well-traveled, but this trip sits at the top of our vacation experiences. This was due to flawless tour organization, the luxurious yacht accommodations with a hospitable staff and every need found, the friendships we quickly made with our fellow travelers, the expert teaching and professional instruction for us photography hobbyists, and more. Of course, the core attraction, the Galapagos Islands and their animal denizens, did not disappoint. Photographs and videos rarely do justice in conveying the pristine beauty and scale of the Galapagos. It is truly one of the last unspoiled places on Earth. Seeing it as part of a high-quality photography tour organized by the Perrys made it an extra special trip. We look forward to going back.

- Sheran & Wendy Fernando, Alexandria, VA, USA

We have just returned from a bucket list trip to the Galápagos Islands with Steve & Rose Perry in conjunction with Jonas Paurell of Terra Photography Expeditions who was responsible for all the local arrangements. What a great trip! The combination of luxurious cruising, a gob smacking environment and the technical photographic input from Steve made it a trip of a lifetime!

I just got home yesterday and haven’t even seen all of my photos, but I enjoyed the experience so much! It’s hard to explain how much it meant to me.

I planned my Lofoten workshop a year ahead and it exceeded my expectations!! Jonas and Andy took us to unbelievable beaches in Lofoten. All the location stops were full of spectacular scenery and beauty. Andy and Jonas answered any questions we had, gave suggestions for composition, and helped me with Photoshop to process my images. They were incredibly kind, patient, and great teachers.

I liked that we all ate together, talked together, laughed together, and photographed together. The group size was perfect and we became friends with each other.

Truly, the experience was unforgettable and I hope to go on another of Andy and Jonas’ workshops!!  I highly recommend any of their workshops because they pay attention to details and make everyone feel so welcome. Not only will you come home with amazing photos but also an amazing experience!!

- Michelle Deppe, USA

I was given the Lofoten in Winter Workshop as a surprise and a very welcome birthday gift. It was really an amazing experience that has fundamentally changed how I think about landscape photography. I consider myself a beginner / hobby photographer and even as such I never felt that either Andy or Jonas would shrug off my questions as stupid. Both organizers are very professional and are always approachable. Although Andy has amazing videos online, nothing beats the immediacy of shooting in the wild and having the feedback on what you do right there. On top of all that I thoroughly enjoyed the social aspect of the workshop, sense of humor, food and the overall atmosphere. Great experience and a great gift

- Jan Provaznik, Czech Republic

I have done two amazing trips with Terra Photography Expeditions, the first was to Greenland and the second to Lofoten. I would recommend any one considering going on one of their workshops to go ahead and book! Jonas does an amazing job of organising these trips and I thoroughly enjoyed my time, I came away with not only great memories and photos but more importantly, I left feeling more inspired about my photography. Jonas is an excellent teacher and irrespective of your skill level I believe everyone has something they can learn from him.

An eye-opener

I had already been in Tuscany a few years ago. But, having previously met Andy and Jonas and seeing that they were organizing a photo workshop there, I jumped right in without hesitation. And it was an eye-opener!

Andy and Jonas possess an exquisite sense of composition and ‘visual design’ that they strive to convey to their ‘pupils’ in the workshop sessions. A typical day would include sunrise and sunset shoots in chosen and sometimes less well known locations. Both enthusiastically supported and encouraged each participant, practically and theoretically. I can honestly say that I came away with more skills and a slightly different and richer mindset towards landscape photography. And then there was the great logistics of all the workshop and, most of all, the excellence of the group of participants. Strangers having never met, for the first hour, comrades and friends at the end. What a group of great people with whom to share lively conversations, good (very good!) meals and tips and tricks about our common hobby/passion. I came back only a few days ago but I can’t wait to go on another ‘adventure’.

- João Pinheiro, Portugal

I was lucky to finally be able to get on this long awaited Tuscany's spring workshop. Both Andy and Jonas are so talented and knowledgeable about landscape photography which gave me a lot of hands-on experience which will stay with me. The tour was very well planned from the airport pick-up, daily activities and visiting many awesome vistas, with some being "less known & crowded" where we had most of the location to ourselves. Their kind and patient personalities created an environment that made it even a more enjoyable experience for me to ask as many questions & to apply the learnings. We ate at so many great places and had so much fun & laughs throughout the workshop. We had such a fantastic group where everyone was willing to share and help each other too. Thank you guys for this amazing trip and hope to see you on the next workshop soon!

- Payman Karimi, USA

I trusted my adventure of a lifetime to Jonas and Terra Photography Expeditions and was not disappointed! The month long expedition was very well planned, coordinated, communicated and executed upon. On top of that, Jonas is a great guy that was a pleasure to share this adventure with. Our days had the right mix of effort, fun and relaxation, combined with engaging conversation that were educational and also built great camaraderie amongst the group. All in all – zero hiccups and it was a fantastic experience! I’m thankful for having latched on with Jonas and team and look forward to doing it again in the future!

Lofoten is all glorious mountains bathed in shimmery light, snow covered beaches, lonely churches clinging to rocky outcrops, picturesque villages and when it’s clear, aurora borealis dancing in the night sky.  The place elicits wonder and awe.  How to capture this?

I didn’t truly know what to expect from only having watched Andy’s YouTube videos.  But the vibe seemed right.  And what an intensive learning experience it was!  No time to waste, aurora conditions were in the forecast for the very first night and that meant a session making sure we knew settings and focus technique.  Daily location selection was adjusted real time per conditions that changed by the minute, usually after some debate by Andy and Jonas.  Both were always ready with feedback, with special focus on composition.  And so it went, each day, each stop.  They truly made sure that each of us would come away with swoon-worthy images.  A day of inclement weather was dedicated to theory, critique and editing.  After four days of intensive outdoor work, no one was too sorry to have a day indoors - Andy/Jonas really weren’t kidding when they said at our welcome briefing that would be a ‘working’ vacation!

Andy and Jonas are enthusiastic teachers, each with quirky wit and an easygoing manner.   Their passion for photography and the outdoors shines through.   Special thanks to the amazing Veronica, who kept it all going behind the scenes.  I’m immensely grateful for having had this opportunity and cannot wait for the next chance to learn from this team

- Francoise Giacalone, USA

Call it good fortune, providence, or serendipity but the stars seemed to align for me to accompany Andy and Jonas on the Tuscany 2023 Photography Workshop. I was on the waitlist and to my surprise Andy reached out to let me know there was an opening. I’d never attended a photo-workshop before, so I immediately jumped on the opportunity.

What a fantastic experience it is to spend a week that’s specifically designed around what you love doing, surrounded by other like-minded people who are as passionate as you are about the craft of photography. The preparation, planning and dedication demonstrated by Andy and Jonas became apparent in the instructional work sessions, inspirational locations they selected and the encouragement along the way. There’s also an organic camaraderie that evolved amongst our small group of fellow photographers, which was an unforeseen bonus. I actually looked forward to sharing dinners with them each evening, despite the fact that I spent the entire day with them. We chatted about a great many things while dining on savory Tuscan fare.

My takeaways were practical, tangible and actionable. I will literally think about things differently and do things a bit differently when I scout, compose, shoot and process my images.

If you’ve never treated yourself to a photography workshop, don’t hesitate to sign up for one of their trips. But be warned, you may become hooked.

Repeat Customers Mean Andy’s Tours are Extraordinary.

I went on my first photo tour with Andy Mumford this last Spring (June 2023) to Namibia. I had the time of my life. (Andy probably has my review of that trip on his website somewhere.) My second photo tour with Andy was the Dolomites workshop (September 2023), which he did in conjunction with Jonas Paurell. Andy said this tour would be very different than Namibia and, as always, he was telling the truth. Like Namibia, the Dolomites are a fantastic experience but, be forewarned, there is hiking, but also quite a bit of trekking. At 72 my balance is good, but not as good as it once was; so, come prepared. I reached my limit so, if in doubt, check with Andy when you sign up.

I learned a great deal about the leaders of my photo tour when the weather didn’t cooperate. We had many days of low clouds, mist, and light rain. Andy and Jonas did a superb job of selecting (and moving) locations to maximize our chance of getting great shots. Our group of six amateur photographers and our two professionals had a great photography experience and we were all friends by the end.

So, the bottom line: Andy’s workshops are first rate and I’ll be back for another. Reviews don’t get any better than customers who come back again and again. Andy’s tours are that good.

- Keith Shuley, USA

I joined Andy Mumford and Jonas Paurell on the second 2024 Dolomites workshop recently, not knowing what to expect as this was the first time for me joining a group of nature and photography interested people for 7 days.

My expectations to explore interesting areas and spots in the amazing Dolomites, have a good time and of course learn from very experienced people on how to improve my landscape images has been absolutely met.

The workshop setup, a combination of twice a day (sunrise and sunset) practical photo sessions including shorter hikes and a theory session per day, was a great combination and balance of “learning” and “doing”.

The organization was outstanding while keeping the flexibility to adopt if needed e.g. changing weather conditions.

And, as always, the people make the difference. The group was amazing. Having Andy and Jonas sharing stories, examples, practical tipps and experiences was extremely valuable, funny and insightful.

If you are interested in nature and photography and are thinking about joining a workshop, I highly recommend considering Andy’s workshops. You will love it and as I, you most likely want more.

It was a pleasure, thanks a lot

- Uwe Hermanns, Germany

I have done two workshops with Andy Mumford and Jonas Paurell and really enjoyed both. The first workshop was in Lofoten and the second workshop was in the Dolomites. In both trips, the teaching was catered towards the skill of each participant and I definitely improved significantly in each workshop, building on past teachings. They've helped me develop from capturing a picture showing where I was to something worth printing. In both workshops I came home with many excellent photographs.

The trips were very thought out, but adapted towards specific weather conditions each morning. They are clear on why changes are being made, but are so knowledgeable about each specific area that there is usually something to photograph. In both trips the accommodations were well situated to minimize driving time, but at the same time were clean and enjoyable places to stay.

I look forward to doing more workshops in the future as they are very enjoyable holidays, filled with great scenery, people, and plenty of laughter.

- Andrew Burton, Canada

Having just returned from the Dolomites landscape photography workshop (hiking version) led by Andy Mumford and Jonas Paurell, I can confirm what other testimonials all say: it exceeded my expectations! Aside from the majesty of this mountain range, Andy spent time with all the participants helping with compositions and making sure we all came home with fantastic images as well as memories to last a lifetime. I too have followed Andy on social media for several years and was intrigued enough that I had planned to join this workshop in 2020 but a global pandemic intervened, as well as life, and I was finally able to go in 2024. In the meantime, I've participated in other workshops closer to home in the U.S. and while these were delightful, they don’t compare to the experience of a lifetime that Andy and Jonas provided.

Everything was meticulously planned with contingencies in the event of inclement weather (btw, Andy has “a guy” who controls the weather)! 

Accommodations and meals were splendid and close to epic shooting locations: even the “mountain hut” which I’d call a lodge was comfortable. While I consider myself a decent photographer, I learned some valuable photography tips and even some fundamentals from Andy’s easygoing teaching style.

Finally, the alchemy in this workshop, as evidenced by the number of repeat workshop participants, is a testament to the life experience and value their workshops provide. Said differently, it was gold; and, I can’t wait to join the ranks of repeat workshop participants!

- Michael Desselle, USA

Andy and Jonas put together an incredible experience, adjusting almost hourly to the unpredictable mountain weather to make sure that, in the end, everyone got multiple chances a day to go out and photograph the stunning landscape of the Dolomites.

While being out and about or during theory lessons in the hotel, both were more than happy to share tips, tricks, answer questions about not only landscape photography but all things photography, editing, hiking, dry humor, puns, songs of a certain popstar or whatever else you might want to know.

I'm really happy that I got the chance to be part of Andys final workshop in the Dolomites and that I was able to take home nice images and great memories.

I'll be back on a different workshop to get more of both.

- Anton Muchitsch, Austria

I thoroughly enjoyed the hiking tour in the Dolomites, and I’d highly recommend Andy's workshops to anyone who feels like having an adventure with added learning. This was the first photography workshop I’ve done and I’ll admit I was slightly apprehensive beforehand however I needn’t have worried, the other folks on the workshop were great to hang out with, and Andy and Jonas made the whole thing very welcoming.

During the actual workshop itself both Andy and Jonas were very helpful in terms of photographic guidance, both in terms of composition and more technical aspects like lens and setting options. They were always happy to answer questions. I also appreciated the educational sessions, in particular where we were all working on our post processing together - I learned a lot of useful techniques.

The logistic side of the tour was exceptionally well organised, but also left enough latitude / flexibility in case our plans needed to change due to bad weather etc. For me this was the perfect approach. The hiking aspect of this tour was also a highlight for me!

Originally what I thought I wanted to learn in the workshop was to take photos like Andy does (and you could totally work towards that if you wanted to). I realised though after a couple of days that what I actually wanted to do was to take pictures in my own way, but better. Thanks to Andy I came away with some of the best images I’ve ever captured.

- Pete Robinson, UK

Admittedly, I didn’t have any particular expectations for the workshop in the Dolomites led by Andy Mumford along with Jonas Paurell—great landscape, ideally not too sunny but also not too cloudy weather, good spots, nice people—the usual. What made the workshop a unique experience for me was what went beyond the technical aspects.

The organization and schedule were flawless, the timing for each location matched the weather perfectly, I would say confidently that every photographic opportunity was used to its outmost extent and even the theory sessions were engaging and informative for participants of all skill levels.

For me, it's important to highlight how much effort Andy and Jonas put into fostering a strong group dynamic and how approachable they both were on a personal level. Over the course of the workshop, a strong sense of community developed within the group. There was lots of joking, laughing, discussing, and learning from each other. You can tell that teaching is a priority for Andy and Jonas in these workshops, and they know how to create an environment that makes learning feel easy and enjoyable. Andy not only presents photography with an intuitive approach, but he’s also a funny and genuinely pleasant person to be around, which I hadn’t expected. In Jonas, you find a deep technical understanding (not just of photography but also as the responsible mountain guide) combined with a contagious enthusiasm and emotional connection to nature. 

Spending time in the group lead by Andy and Jonas, inspired me and fed my desire to go out into nature and to connect with it by photography and to continue develop my skills.

In the days following the workshop, I found myself dreaming of when and where I could join the next one with these two.

Bernhard Hofstaetter, Germany

I came to this workshop (Lofoten Winter 2023) looking to improve my process for composition and hoping to get 4 photos worth printing and framing.  I was taking better photos by the Wednesday!  In the field Andy Mumford and Jonas Paurell provided fantastic creative guidance by offering helpful suggestions on composition.  They were always on hand to provide advice and support. 

The evening sessions on theory and editing along with the image critiques were immensely informative and helpful. The ratio of two photographer leaders to seven participants meant that participants got as much one to one time as they needed, and throughout the week Andy and Jonas were ready to discuss equipment and techniques and relate stories from their immense experience.  

Andy and Jonas changed the itinerary according to the weather and the conditions for aurora and their knowledge of the area. Andy also showed a sense of humour that doesn’t come over in the you tube videos! 

As to my expectations, first review of my images on the PC is that I have way more than 4 images worth printing, and the quality of all my images has significantly improved. The whole workshop experience was awesome, and I am already on the waiting list for another workshop.

- Richard Burton, Canada

A once-in-a-life-time experience! 

I joined Jonas and Veronica on a week-long photography expedition to Lofoten, Norway, in the summer of 2019. Jonas and Nigel Danson made an excellent teaching team while enjoying the islands and the midnight sun scenes. The experience was twofold. On the one hand, we learned about editing, composition, and expedition planning. And, on the other, we traveled to different locations and hiked to breathtaking places. Jonas was a great leader; he studied the sites beforehand and created the conditions to enjoy the hiking while getting amazing photographs. Always attentive and making sure that we all felt comfortable.

As my first expedition of this kind, I have to say that everything exceeded my expectations. The entire journey was very well organized from start to finish. I remember that when we got to our accommodations, I could not believe how nice they were! Having someone like Jonas’ with his traveling, outdoor, and photography experience let me enjoy the trip and focus on photographing. Some of those images are now are hanging on my house’s walls.

A trip I will never forget, and I can’t thank Jonas and Veronica enough for the fantastic experience. I am looking forward to my next adventure with Terra Photography Expeditions.

In the fall of 2019 I joined a Terra Photography Expeditions to the Swiss alps - a high altitude workshop focused on timelapse photography. It was a fantastic experience, and I learned a ton. Jonas is a highly experienced International Mountain Leader, and shared insights about the terrain and environment throughout our travels, which logistically was super smooth thanks to his (and Veronica's) thorough planning. He is also a highly skilled photographer, and taught me some really key concepts in areas like composition, choice of focal length, depth of field, and much more.

Jonas had thoughtfully selected the true time-lapse Guru Morten Rustad as our teacher on this trip, who enthusiastically shared his unique knowledge with us, day in and day out.

It was a high-paced, full-on mountain workshop, with lots of trekking and shooting, and not so much sleep. Just what I had hoped for.

I returned from this trip with great memories, and some incredible footage. Highly recommended - I am going again!

I went to Lofoten (Norway) last year with Jonas and Nigel Danson on a phototrip. It was a unique and unforgettable experience. This was largely due to Jonas' optimal organization and planning, as well as the guiding and support from him onsite. Jonas lives his job and is not only an excellent tour guide but also an experienced landscape photographer and nature lover with heart and soul. I would immediately book a trip again if the current circumstances would allow it.

I had the pleasure of going to lofoten in Norway with Jonas and Nigel Danson. It was an experience I won’t ever forget. Jonas was an incredible guide and teacher. You can tell just by talking to him that he has a love and passion for photography and travel, that is very infectious. The whole time all they wanted was to make sure you came away with some fantastic photos and would go out of their way to make sure that happens. I couldn’t recommend booking an expedition with Terra Photography Expeditions enough. When these covid times get back to normal I will definitely be booking another trip!!

In Oct - Dec 2019 I was a member of a Terra Photography Expeditions to the Everest Base Camp,  Nepal. Everyone in the team was affected (to various degrees) by the most feared ghost of all mountaineers: the High Altitude Sickness! We all had it, from mild symptoms, like headaches, bad mood, lack of sleep and shortness of breath, to the more dangerous lack of appetite, sickness and total fatigue that urged evacuation by helicopter.

How you and your team deal with those difficulties is critical on determining the success (or the failure) to reach the EBC with enough energy and brain capacity to appreciate and capture the stunning unique landscape on the way. There, among the highest mountains, valleys and lakes on this planet, one has to rely totally on the expertise, experience and capacity of your Guide. Terra Photography Expeditions leader, Jonas Paurell, managed everything, in every detail, from the challenging logistics to the coordination with sherpas and partners, to deliver one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Thanks for everything, Jonas! Or “Bugs”?

I enjoyed one of my best trips in my life together with Jonas and Terra Photography Expeditions in March 2020. We shared a fantastic week on the Lofoten islands in Norway in beautiful nature and were lucky enough to photograph the Aurora several times. Jonas is a very experienced photographer and outdoor guide, very supportive and gives a lot of helpful tips. He is a nature maniac in the most positive way I can imagine. I'am really looking forward to join another adventure of Terra Photography Expeditions.

My wife and I joined Jonas on our first photography expedition to see the Midnight Sun in the Lofoten Islands, Norway, in July 2019. As novice hikers and amateur enthusiast photographers, the idea of going on such an expedition was incredibly exciting. Jonas immediately made us feel welcome as part of the small group assembled for this trip. His tremendous experience as an International Mountain Leader as well as his passion and skill for teaching landscape photography made for such a rich hiking and photography experience. In addition, we enjoyed making connections with many wonderful people with whom we continue to keep in touch. For anyone interested, I would highly recommend this experience. I would personally like to join more expeditions in the future.

During July of 2019 I participated in a photography to Lofoten with Terra Photography Expeditions led by Jonas Paurell and with Nigel Danson. All arrangements for the expedition went smoothly, from airport pick-up, accommodation and leading us across mountain trails. Jonas had checked in with all participants before the trip, so nobody was unprepared for the trip or held the group back. There were 7 clients with the two instructors, so we were able to get individual attention to learning landscape photography when we needed it. Although Jonas is primarily the expedition leader he is also a fine photographer and teacher.

We stayed at comfortable set of cabins at an iconic location with great subjects to point the camera at within a short walk. There was ample room at our lodging to gather around Jonas or Nigel for their instruction on composition and image processing, as well as looking over plans for the next session in the field. Pace of the trips was good, with enough time for participants to search out their own compositions and to take advantage of moments of dramatic light.

For me, getting into the landscape on foot is a big part of my photography and the Lofoten expedition with Terra certainly met that goal. With Jonas’ research and experienced outdoor leadership I was able to concentrate on photography without worrying about the route.

I learnt a lot and enjoyed the trip immensely, wasting no time booking another adventure with Terra for this year!

The Swiss Alps time-lapse expedition was an unforgettable experience. Professionalism is the key! Detailed planning, engaging guidance with no compromises of safety from one hand, and fun from the other one, photography expertise in landscape and time-lapse. The variety of locations was perfect, with good preparation of the team way before the experience - it was a dream come true for me.

Besides the professional aspects, Jonas is a fascinating, knowledgeable person with a bold Worldview. During the long nights of time-lapse shooting - believe me, it is essential.
Thank you, Jonas and Veronica. I'm sure that we will meet again during another exciting hiking and nature adventure.

Jonas and Terra Photography Expeditions excel at expedition planning. They also cater to the diverse needs of a global photography tour. While each client has his or her own unique goals, Jonas and his team are able to manage the itinerary to match both individual wishes as well as those of the entire group. This capability comes from an attention to detail from start to finish. From locations, to meals, to travel, to social times, each event is well balanced with the right amount of time to maximize the best overall experience.

Had an amazing experience trekking in the Swiss Alps thanks to Jonas and Veronica. They took care of every aspect of the tour and ensured that all the needs of the group were met. The area around Verbier is amazing with glaciers, crystal clear lakes, and views from the top of the Alps that will leave you breathless. Staying in the Swiss hut system after ten or more hours of hiking was an awesome part of the experience, the huts are amazing with great food and amenities to help make the trek of given day more than bearable. Even when as I found out later I had torn meniscus, I was helped to complete all 4 days of the trek with Jonas taking part of my load for a good part of two days, Jonas and Veronica went above and beyond to help me complete a life goal and I will be forever grateful. I can't recommend Terra Photography Expeditions enough and plan on going on another trek with them in the future, with healthier knees.

The photography portion of the trek lead by Thomas Heaton was just as memorable. Thomas provided a great level of photography knowledge and having done most of the trek himself earlier in preparation for our trekking workshop we had ideal locations to photograph sunrise, sunsets and on occasion lakes, fall colors and even Veronica running across a suspension bridge and around the clearest lake you'll find anywhere in the world. If you want a great experience, with the best guides, chose Terra Photography Expeditions.

My partner and I went on a photo tour up the alps for a few nights with Terra Photography Expeditions. Veronica and Jonas were, and I do not exaggerate, two of the loveliest people you can meet. They were incredibly helpful, and got us through things we didn’t even know we could do. We spent a little more time with Veronica, who we found to be truly inspirational as a person, and whilst walking we had lovely talks and exchanged stories. 

Incidentally, Jonas in particular is an excellent and passionate photographer, so as well as guiding, he was able to help with some photographic suggestion and personal insights about the area. 

I personally encountered some leg issues at the end of day 1, and Jonas and Veronica helped me in the most professional and friendly way I could imagine - there’s absolutely nothing they could’ve done better. I would wholeheartedly endorse these guys, and plan to do more stuff with them in the future. I hope to stay in contact with them, and they have a 100% 10/10 recommendation from me.

- Tom Morter-Laing, UK

Veronica! thanks for the company, compassion, and constant smile, and for all the extra miles you put in both as a model and carer. All the best for your upcoming races! 

Jonas, (the rock). Thank you also for your kindness and patience, you were a constant calming influence on the group as you juggled timetables with everyone's different needs. I am looking forward to seeing your photos, the ones you have posted are beautiful. Also ALL THE BEST for your upcoming races! 

I wish you all the happiness and success you surely deserve it. Many thanks again to both of you, or as the French say, croissant bonjour,...no?...oh well.......au revoir"
