Three days of tour visiting Shiprock, Bisti Badlands and Chaco Canyon (New Mexico)
Peter is not only an excellent photographer, but also well versed in the skills necessary to guide you away from the well beaten paths to fine unique images.
This means he does his homework, is well organized, and has maps and GPS coordinates and the energy to go out into wild places to shoot.
I went with Peter to the Bisti Badlands in New Mexico and came back with some stunning photographs.
I highly recommend tapping into his experience and knowledge of photography and of the Southwest geography for your next shoot.

Three days backpacking and photographing Rainbow Bridge (Utah)
Backpacking and photographing the Rainbow Bridge during February is a real challenge, specially when there is record snowing one week before the adventure takes place and temperatures during the hiking days are way below freezing point. The nights in the bivy sack and sleeping bag were something beyond of description, but the days were sunny and warm.
After 1 1/2 days on the trail we arrived the Rainbow Bridge at the bottom. We just came in time to have our shots taken with the warm glow reflecting from the sandstone walls and the snow capped Navajo Mountain in the background. The latter was the reason to have adventured out in these adverse weather conditions.
The entire trip was very well organized by Peter with the permits in place, GPS coordinates to scout through the wilderness, warm breakfast and dinner and beeing an excelent companion who always provides a sense of safety and high professionalism.

Two weeks of photo tour through Arizona, Nevada, and Utah
I consider myself a seasoned and well experienced photographer that travelled all continents with exception of Antartica, so far. The photographic opportunities of the American Southwest have always captivated me the most and being responsible for three trips to the US which were all organized by me. However, for my 4th trip I wanted something different. My desire was to get off the beaten path and I choose Peter to come up with an exquisite and extensive itinerary. I lucked out as the guy took me to places that I even never had heard off and I never had seen pictures off.
Experiencing places such as the famous Subway at Zion National Park and South Coyote Buttes and White Pocket at Vermillion Cliffs Wilderness was absolutely mind bogglimg. These were places that I NEVER would have been able to access without Peter's expertise and infrastructure. Even places that I thought knowing quite well from my previous trips, for example Monument Valley, he surprised me by arranging access to Hunt's Mesa, Tear Drop Arch, Mystery Valley and to the proximity of Totem Pole.
I came back home with photographic material that is truly unique! Have a look at my images that I got during this tour and you will understand what I mean.
Just some words about Peter: I spend 2 weeks on the road with him. He is excellent. He knows the business and shows great dedication to what he does. Every step of the trip was very well organized and executed. At the end of the trip I did not just have a great guide, but more important - a true friend!

Two weeks of photo tour through New Mexico, Arizona and Utah
I have a special passion for landscape photography and I put a lot of effort to return home with as many as possible images which I pre-visualized while planning a trip.
My photographic travels took me so far to Western Europe including Bretagne (France), the Swiss Alps (Wallis and Graubünden), as well as to Fagnes (Belgium).
My long time dream was to photograph the American Southwest which harbors one of the finest landscapes in the world. However, even the best preparation does not guaranty a good outcome as there are many too variables playing into the equation. Getting to a remote place, finding the right composition, being there at the right time of the day are all very real challenges to be tackled. All this might cost you too much time especially if this is a trip to a foreign country where you never have been before.
Peter was absolutely the right guy to provide me with the infrastructure allowing me to return home with lots of awesome pictures. I never ever would have been able to pull this on my own. He organized everything from the very beginning to the end flawless - hotels, transport to the most remote areas, being at the right spot at the right time.
At the end of these two weeks, I had much more than the pictures I dreamed of: lots of good memories, a good guide and great friend, lots of awesome pictures and a strong desire getting back to the American Southwest very soon ...
Here you can see a collection of my images that I got during my trip.
Thank you Peter!
