What is TRVL° Photography?
TRVL° Photography is an adventure travel company for photographers. In short, the motto is simple: “Explore. Adventure. Capture.”
At its core, TRVL° is built around travel photography. Every itinerary is thoughtfully designed with photography in mind, from the locations we visit to the experiences we create along the way. You will come away with strong images. That is for sure.
But TRVL° is about more than just the photos. It is about stepping into the unknown, discovering new places, and building a genuine connection with the world around you. The images are one part of the story. The other goal is to leave with unforgettable experiences, meaningful connections, and memories that go far beyond what you captured on camera.
TRVL° is not a traditional photography workshop, and that is intentional. While our leaders are experienced photographers who guide and support you throughout the journey, our trips are carefully designed to include both structured photography opportunities and intentional free time for exploration, creativity, and discovery. This balance of planned locations and set shoots alongside space for independent exploration allows travel photography to become a tool for both strong imagery and personal growth, rather than just a checklist of iconic shots.
TRVL° is designed for those who are naturally curious, who enjoy exploring, and who feel energized by stepping outside their comfort zones. If your goal is a highly structured, step by step photography workshop with tuition, there are great options out there, but that is not what we do.
More than anything, TRVL° is about connection. Connection to the places we visit, to the people who call them home, and to each other. We work closely with local photographers, tour operators and guides to create experiences that feel authentic and grounded in real culture. These relationships, and the shared moments that come from them, are what elevate the photography and make each journey unique.
We stay true to this vision. We do not reshape our approach to fit expectations that do not align with our values. Instead, we focus on creating travel photography experiences for those who connect with what TRVL° stands for: exploration, adventure, creativity, and a genuine desire to engage with the wider world.
If that sounds like you, you are in the right place.

EXCELLENT Based on 20 reviews Posted on Google Martin M.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just back from the East Greenland expedition in September and it absolutely delivered. At this point I've been shooting with those guys on five or six continents and it is always a blast. Excellent guidance out in the field and and all around great time off-camera. They know how to run a photography trip, not just a tour that happens to involve cameras. East Greenland is a serious destination — icebergs, remote settlements, weather — and the logistics were handled very well so that we could focus on shooting rather than figuring out where to be. If you’re on the fence, book it. These guys deliver.Posted on Google Corinne FlawsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Greg and Nick were fabulous team leads for our epic photo adventure of NW Iceland and East Greenland. Greg ensured we all had the best experience, adapting and communicating our itinerary to match conditions of the area; while Nick made sure we knew the best ways to capture the scenes and wildlife.and edit to get our best results. The trip what quite the adventure boating around fjords, discovering ice caves hidden under massive glaciers, dodging calving icebergs, scrambling rugged cliffs and through amazing little towns and capturing amazing aurora, sunrises and sunsets and whales. Thanks for an amazing trip!!! Highly Recommended!!!Posted on Google Rütten & Heldt Immobiliencenter GbRTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've been back from my trip to East Greenland with trvl.photography for a week now, and I'm still absolutely thrilled. The organization of the trip, including the add-on to the Westfjords of Iceland, was perfect. Accommodations, meals, daily schedules, the group of photography enthusiasts – everything was just right. This was my second experience with trvl.photography after the trip to West Greenland in 2024, and I've already booked my next one. A huge thank you this time goes to Greg Snell and Nick Page – two wonderful tour guides and two great people.

Amazing time with Greg in Antarctica last year and in Iceland/East Greenland the last few weeks. Great guides and photo spots with many amazing subjects to photograph, whether landscapes, wildlife, even auroras when they were firing off! Also well prepared with backup plans and a flexible schedule when weather forces a change, so we're never left with nothing to do. Look forward to my next trip with TRVL!Posted on Google mario measorTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just got back from my trip to Greenland with TRVL. We got to locations to have the best opportunities at sunset and aurora. When the weather looked bad, the plans got readjusted so we didn’t lose a day. The scenery is amazing and they get you to places people don’t normally get to see. Great guys, great trip. Oh…and there were puppies.Posted on Google Samuel LetecheurTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve travelled with TRVL tour leaders several times around the world (China, Iceland, Peru, Greenland) and every trip has been flawless, from the off-the-beaten-path discoveries and photography opportunities to the organisation. I’ll definitely travel with them again.Posted on Google Ken KuehneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. TRVL has an exciting product they are putting out, with excellent tours to interesting locations that can be daunting for the solo traveler to plan. The leaders are great guides, and their integration of local experts into the tours makes for a very meaningful trip.Posted on Google Faryl KayeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience traveling with Brendan and Greg. Uzbekistan delivered as did TRVL. Still sorting through beautiful photos. Will be traveling again with TRVL next year 😊Posted on Google JohnnySciroccoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The best adventure travel company anywhere! Led by Greg and Brendan who know what photographers want, adventure plus photography. I've been in multiple trips with them and would recommend them to any serious or aspiring travel photographer. A+++Posted on Google Ryan W. BradleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great trips, great company, great brand, and even better people behind it. Can't recommend enough. You won't be disappointed!
