One of the missions of TRVL is to photograph destinations that are unique but not yet over-photographed. We want to highlight these other well deserving places on our planet. Uzbekistan is definitely one of those places.
The whole country of Uzbekistan is just a visual marvel. From the ancient architecture to the silk road history to the beautiful people, there are photos everywhere. But what’s more, there are experiences everywhere.
Our goal at TRVL is not just to guide you to great photos, but to great stories. We want to help you create not just images, but memories. Uzbekistan is full of wonderful moments.

TRVL° Trip Style
Comfortable Adventure: The TRVL° Photography Comfort Series blends discovery with ease, offering journeys that immerse photographers in inspiring destinations without sacrificing rest or relaxation. These trips are designed for those who seek meaningful adventure with a gentler edge. Capturing remarkable stories while enjoying comfortable accommodations, smooth travel, and a pace that prioritises both creativity and comfort.
What’s the accommodation like?
In the cities, the accommodation is great. We’ll be in a mix of boutique hotels and 4-star hotels. It’s very comfortable. On our Aral desert excursion, however, we’ll be roughing it a bit with a local homestay.
Is there lots of walking?
On all city-based trips there’s going to be some walking. It’s in the streets where you truly feel the city’s atmosphere and where you can capture those special street photos.
However, the walking distances are not long, and all walks are optional. Alternative activities can be arranged.
Fitness Level 2: There is no major walking or hiking on this trip.

What is TRVL° All About?
In short, the motto is: “Explore. Adventure. Capture.”
One of our goals is to create beautiful photos, yes. And we will. But our larger goal is to connect with the destination we travel, and to create memories. We want our participants to feel empowered by the experience. We want our participants to walk away feeling like they captured great images, and even better stories.
We work with local tour operators and photographers in order to empower the photography community in the destinations we visit. And in working with these local photographers, we help connect our tour participants with the locals on a way that is so special.
Your Adventure Tour Leader
Brendan van Son is a travel photographer with over 15 years of experience in the field. His work has been featured by major publications such as The BBC, The Guardian, The Toronto Star, National Geographic Traveler, and more. He has worked with major brand clients such as Amex, Volkswagen, Eddie Bauer, and so many more.
Brendan has a passion of nature and wildlife, but loves that every day in travel there’s a different subject worthy of a photograph.
Though Brendan is Canadian-born, he currently lives in Portugal. He can communicate with participants in English, Spanish, French, and a little bit of Portuguese as well.
Will there be a local photographer?
The short answer is yes. The long answer is that we’re still in the process of vetting local photographers to decide who we will be taking with us.
One of the goals of our new company TRVL was to empower the local photography community. So we want them involved in all our trips. We’re currently working with local operators to find a photographer that can not only help us lead this trip, but who we can help grow in their career as well.
