After breakfast and time to relax\, we continue to the Göreme Open-Air Museum\, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where ancient rock-cut churches preserve remarkable Byzantine frescoes carved into the soft volcanic stone. \nIn the afternoon\, we explore Kaymaklı Underground City\, an extraordinary subterranean settlement that once sheltered entire communities beneath the earth. \nOur day concludes with a traditional Whirling Dervish ceremony\, offering insight into one of Turkey’s most profound spiritual traditions. While photography is not permitted during the performance itself\, there will be opportunities to photograph the venue and participants before or after the ceremony. \nOvernight: Cappadocia \nMay 1 Yılkı Horses Photography and Cappadocia Turkish Village Life & Culinary Tour (B\,L)\nBefore dawn\, we travel into the rolling highlands to photograph Turkey’s iconic Yılkı horses as the first light of day spreads across the landscape. These semi-wild horses roam freely across the open plains\, often gathering in small herds that create striking photographic opportunities against the soft colors of sunrise. \nAs the morning mist lingers and the sun rises above the horizon\, we’ll position ourselves to capture the horses moving through the grasslands\, backlit by golden light and framed by the dramatic Anatolian scenery. This session offers the chance to create both intimate wildlife portraits and sweeping environmental images\, while observing one of Turkey’s most enduring symbols of freedom and wilderness. \nThe early hours provide the most beautiful light and the greatest horse activity\, making this one of the tour’s most memorable photographic experiences. \nFollowing our sunrise photography session\, we’ll experience daily life in rural Cappadocia with a visit to Ayvali Village. Depending on the day and season\, we may explore the local market\, stroll through fruit orchards\, visit traditional cave storages\, and wander the village’s narrow streets. Along the way\, we’ll meet local residents\, enjoy Turkish tea and coffee\, learn about village customs\, and gain insight into traditional agricultural practices. \nA highlight of the day is a home-hosted lunch with a local family\, where we’ll help gather fresh ingredients and participate in preparing a traditional Turkish meal before dining together. \nIn the afternoon\, we’ll enjoy a walk through a hidden valley near the village and visit a cave winery to learn about the production of Cappadocia’s renowned wines. Time permitting\, there may also be an optional visit to a local arts and handicrafts center before returning to the hotel. \nOvernight: Cappadocia \nMay 2 Cappadocia – Konya (B)\nAn early morning departure takes us to the spectacular Ihlara Valley\, where we’ll photograph the dramatic canyon landscape in the soft light of sunrise. As the first rays of sunlight illuminate the valley walls\, we’ll explore the entrance area\, seeking compositions that capture the scale\, textures\, and beauty of this remarkable landscape. \nFollowing our morning photography session\, we’ll enjoy breakfast along the banks of the Melendiz River in the village of Belisırma\, a peaceful setting nestled beneath the canyon’s towering cliffs. We then continue to Selime\, a fascinating village renowned for its rock-cut dwellings\, ancient cave structures\, and otherworldly scenery that has often been compared to the landscapes of a science fiction film. \nLater\, we journey across the Anatolian plateau toward Konya\, stopping en route at the historic Sultanhanı Caravanserai\, one of the finest surviving inns of the Silk Road era. By afternoon\, we arrive in Konya\, the spiritual heart of Turkey and home of the Mevlevi Order\, better known for the mesmerizing tradition of the Whirling Dervishes. \nOvernight: Konya \nMay 3 Konya – Antalya – Cirali (B)\nThis morning we photograph the Mevlana Museum in Konya\, the final resting place of the celebrated poet and mystic Rumi and the spiritual center of the Whirling Dervish tradition. The museum’s elegant architecture\, atmospheric courtyards\, and rich cultural heritage offer a compelling start to the day. \nWe then travel south toward the Mediterranean coast\, arriving in Antalya to explore its charming Old Town. Narrow cobblestone streets\, Ottoman-era architecture\, and the picturesque harbor provide abundant photographic opportunities. As evening approaches\, we’ll capture the warm light of sunset illuminating the harbor’s fishing boats and historic waterfront. \nContinuing along the coast\, we arrive in the tranquil village of Çıralı\, nestled between the mountains and the Mediterranean Sea. After dinner\, we take a short hike to witness one of Turkey’s most remarkable natural phenomena—the eternal flames of the Chimaera\, where natural gas vents have burned continuously from the rocky hillside for centuries. The flickering flames against the night sky create a unique and memorable photographic experience. \nOvernight: Çıralı \nMay 4 Olympos – Kekova – Kaş (B\,L)\nAfter breakfast\, we journey to the beautiful coastline of Kekova\, where a private boat excursion offers opportunities to photograph the turquoise waters\, hidden coves\, and the famous Sunken City. Partially submerged by ancient earthquakes\, the ruins visible beneath the clear water create a fascinating blend of history and landscape. \nFollowing lunch aboard the boat\, we continue to the picturesque seaside town of Kaş\, one of Turkey’s most charming Mediterranean destinations. After settling into our hotel overlooking the sea\, we’ll spend the afternoon exploring the harbor and waterfront streets\, photographing daily life as fishermen\, shopkeepers\, and local residents gather along the waterfront. \nAs the day draws to a close\, we’ll head to Kaputaş Beach\, renowned for its dramatic cliffs and brilliant blue waters. Here we’ll photograph the spectacular colors of the Mediterranean during sunset. \nOvernight: Kaş \nMay 5 Kaş – Dalyan – Pamukkale (B\, D)\nAn early departure brings us to Dalyan\, where we photograph the remarkable Lycian rock tombs carved high into the cliffs overlooking the river. Dating back more than two thousand years\, these monumental facades offer a striking glimpse into the region’s ancient past. \nOur journey continues to Saklıkent Gorge\, one of Turkey’s most impressive natural wonders. After breakfast beside the river\, we’ll have time to explore the dramatic canyon and enjoy the cool waters flowing through its towering limestone walls. \nLater\, we travel inland to Pamukkale\, famed for its dazzling white travertine terraces created by mineral-rich thermal springs. As the sun begins to set\, we’ll photograph this extraordinary landscape as the terraces glow with soft evening light and reflect the changing colors of the sky. \nOvernight: Pamukkale \nMay 6 Pamukkale – Istanbul (B\, D)\nThis morning we transfer to the airport for our flight to Istanbul. Upon arrival\, a private transfer brings us to our hotel in the historic heart of the city. \nIn the afternoon\, we’ll enjoy a private cruise along the Bosphorus\, the legendary waterway that separates Europe and Asia. From the water\, we’ll photograph an ever-changing panorama of elegant Ottoman waterfront mansions\, grand palaces\, historic fortresses\, and vibrant neighborhoods lining both shores. The Bosphorus offers a unique perspective on Istanbul’s rich history and its role as a crossroads between continents. \nOvernight: Istanbul \nMay 7 Istanbul – Departure for home (B)\nAfter breakfast\, a private transfer will take you to the airport for your onward flight home\, concluding our photographic journey through Turkey. \nEnd of tour \nReserve Your Spot Today \nNote: Cancellation fees apply.

The exact location can’t be known in advance but when it appears\, we will be there\, positioned for its most compelling photographic expression. Your role is to focus on the image. Ours is to guide you into place: the right stretch of open plains\, at the right moment\, with the right light\, alongside experts who have spent their careers interpreting the sky. \nImages provided by Bruce Omori and Steve Saviano \n  \nThe forecast leads.

Learn more about our privacy policy. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nEach morning begins with a detailed atmospheric briefing. From there\, the team identifies the most promising target area. Some days the chase may be a short drive; other days it may span several hundred miles. The day unfolds in response to evolving conditions\, and the storm dictates the path. Having a good working knowledge of how your camera works and the ability to act fast when packing and unpacking your gear will be critical. As in some cases the group will need to jump out to get a quick photo\, then back into the van to move on to the next location and you don’t want to hold up the rest of the group. \nItinerary \nThe objective is consistent each day: position you within optimal photographic range of the most visually compelling supercell activity available. Days begin with early forecasting discussions and continue with adaptive travel across the plains. By late afternoon and evening\, cameras are ready as storms mature and light conditions peak. \nWhat to Expect \nMeteorological analysis and photographic instruction operate side by side throughout the journey. The storm tracker follows each system from early development through dissipation\, while the photographic team helps you interpret structure\, light\, and composition during the brief windows when conditions align. Guidance is continuous\, especially when the storm reaches its most expressive stage. \nAccommodations \nAs daylight fades—sometimes early\, sometimes late—the team transitions from storm position to lodging near the next forecast zone. Accommodations are arranged in advance along the route\, with each participant provided a private single room to ensure rest between long field days. \nPeace of Mind \nThis workshop is designed around photographic distance rather than close interception. The goal is not to enter hazardous storm cores\, but to position at a vantage point where structure\, scale\, and atmosphere are clearly visible and photographically powerful. Safety is central to every decision and is integrated into all forecasting and positioning strategies. \nWhat’s Included \nGround transportation\, lodging\, and instructional guidance are included throughout the tour. The workshop begins and ends in Denver\, Colorado. Meals are taken on the road as conditions allow\, with snacks and water provided in the field vehicle each day. \nA workshop for photographers who want more than chance—where timing\, positioning\, and interpretation come together so you can concentrate fully on making images when nature delivers its most dramatic moments. \n\nDeparture Window: May 18–May 24\nDuration: 7 days\nGroup Size: 5 photographers\nGuides: 3\nRegion: Great Plains\, USA\nStarting and Ending Point: Denver\, CO URL:https://events.artwolfe.com/event/storm-chasing-for-photographers-great-plains-early-access/ CATEGORIES:Travel with Art,Workshops ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://events.artwolfe.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2026/05/I5A5197.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Art%20Wolfe%20Inc":MAILTO:info@artwolfe.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20270616 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20270621 DTSTAMP:20261029T235117 CREATED:20260310T230145Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260826T191744Z UID:5710-1813104000-1813535999@events.artwolfe.com SUMMARY:California Coast Photography Retreat: Abstracts and Otters 2027 DESCRIPTION:USA\, California\, Monterey Bay\, sea otter (Enhydra lutris)\n \n \n \n \n \n USA\, California\, Monterey Bay \, rocky coastline\n \n \n \n \n \n USA\, California\, Moss Landing Wildlife Area\, Elkhorn Slough\, harbor seal (Phoca vitulina richardsi)\n \n \n \n \n \n USA\, California\, brown pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis californicus) \, Moss Landing Wildlife Area\, Elkhorn Slough\,\n \n \n \n \n \n USA\, California\, abstract sandstone formations\n \n \n \n \n \n USA\, California\, brown pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis californicus)\n \n \n \n \n \n USA\, California\, \, Moss Landing Wildlife Area\, Elkhorn Slough\, \, southern sea otter (Enhydra lutris nereis)\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n USA\, California\, brown pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis californicus) \, Moss Landing Wildlife Area\, Elkhorn Slough\,\n \n \n \n \n \n USA\, California\, Monterey\, rocky seashore\n \n \n \n \n \n Monterey cypress tree\, Monterey Coast\, California\, USA\n \n \n \n \n \n USA\, California\, \, Moss Landing Wildlife Area\, Elkhorn Slough\, southern sea otter (Enhydra lutris nereis) \, kayakers\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n USA\, California\, Elkhorn Slough Reserve\, harbor seal (Phoca vitulina)\n \n \n \n \n \n USA\, California\, Elkhorn Slough Reserve\, \, kayaker\, photographer\n \n \n \n \n \n Giant kelp\, Point Lobos State Reserve\, California\, USA\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Monterey cypress (Cupressus macrocarpa) branches covered in Trentepohlia algae\, Point Lobos State Park\, California\, USA \nPhase One A/S P45+\, focal length 115\, f/29 for 1/5 second\, ISO 200\nCal090512010001\n \n \n\nBased in beautiful Monterey\, CA this small group retreat is designed to combine the best aspects of a relaxing vacation\, inspiring lectures\, and hands-on workshop all into one exquisite trip.

Not only is the area home to gorgeous beaches\, renowned dining options\, and a variety of wildlife and shorebirds – it also happens to be an excellent location to capture abstract images. \nThis location is brimming with variety – not only is there a plethora of abstract subjects all within a close proximity\, but there are also fantastic ocean landscapes\, and of course sea otters which we will photograph from kayak.  You did read that correctly – we are also going to bring our group to a fantastic location where they can comfortably photograph sea otters from kayaks. If you have never been in a kayak before\, fear not! We have guides available that will be doing all the paddling work so you can sit back and focus on soaking up the views and taking stunning photos that you can proudly share with friends and family – the kind no one else is bringing home! \nThis special workshop is beginning on Wednesday\, June 16th\, with a welcome gathering at the hotel lobby in Monterey. Our classroom sessions will take place at the beautiful Bradley Photographic Gallery in Pacific Grove. \nThough the location is visibly fabulous on the surface\, we will strive to peer deeper into our surroundings and find the landscapes-within-landscapes; metaphors and visualizations beyond the obvious.

Our sources on the island will ensure we are seeking out these various anomalous creatures at the best times\, with evening walks to capture nocturnally active species as they begin their nightly routines. \nI also hope to capture a truly unique animal while we are here – the elusive fossa\, Madagascar’s largest mammalian carnivore. Closely related to the mongoose family\, fossa are widespread throughout the island\, but in very sparse populations. Combined with the thick forested habitat it prefers\, it can be a difficult animal to locate\, but I think we are up to the task! \n \n\n \n \n Advance notification list for workshop\n Fill out this form to be the first to be notified when this Art Wolfe Workshop is available for enrollment. \n \n InstagramThis field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.Name*\n \n \n First\n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Email*\n \n Phonenot required but often very helpfulWorkshopHave you traveled with us before?*\n \n \n Yes\n \n \n \n No\n Number of people wanting to attend?*1234Additional InformationAny other information that may be pertinent to the pre-registration of this workshop. \n \n I'd like to receive information from Art about upcoming events\, classes\, and travel opportunities\n Newsletter PreferenceGeneral (bimonthly)Blog Posts (weekly)Both\n SubmitBy clicking submit you allow Art Wolfe Inc. to contact you using the information you have provided.

The reserve was created 70 years ago by the de Heaulme family as a private park to protect 250 hectares encompassing Spiny Forest and dry Tamarind gallery woodland along the Mandrare river. The reserve is home to six species of lemur and the south’s largest colony of Madagascar fruit bats. The easiness to observe sauntering Ring-tailed lemurs and ‘dancing’ Verreaux sifakas has turned this small protected area into one of the prime Madagascar’s primary destination. \nJuly 27 Berenty-Fort Dauphin\nSpend the day exploring the remarkable Berenty Private Reserve\, accompanied by an experienced local guide. As you walk through its unique spiny forest\, you will have excellent opportunities to observe the reserve’s famous ring-tailed lemurs\, colourful chameleons\, and a variety of endemic bird species found only in southern Madagascar.

Not only do they have wonderful restaurants\, but there is close access to the Oregon Coast as well as multiple abstract photo locations. Although some of our time will be spent on the coast\, the majority of it will be spent focusing on transforming your perspective on photography as we delve into the abstract realm. \nArt is a firm believer that all aspects of the craft can be improved immensely by focusing on capturing abstract imagery. The mental fortitude and attention to detail that are required for abstract photography train your brain to carefully analyze every composition you capture. Through intensive field and critique sessions Art will work closely with each participant pushing them to their creative limits and demonstrating the freedoms that you have as an artist to transform your images into beautiful pieces of art. \nAn image can have the power to stimulate the imagination and the intellect while also telling a story that awakens the senses.  Art’s challenge is to explore the nature of creativity itself and discover ways to bring its power to your images.

Accessible only by boat\, Khutzeymateen Wilderness Lodge serves as your floating basecamp\, an intimate\, off-the-grid haven where wildlife quite literally surrounds you. \nOver the course of four full days in the field\, you’ll photograph coastal brown bears as they forage along salmon-rich creeks and rivers\, alongside opportunities to capture humpback whales\, sea lions\, seals\, and an extraordinary array of birdlife including bald eagles\, herons\, and gulls. Timing is carefully chosen to coincide with peak salmon activity and the presence of whales in the area. So we have a variety of wildlife to photograph. \nAll field excursions take place by boat\, allowing for exceptional wildlife access without the need for long hikes or strenuous activity. This makes the experience well-suited for photographers of a wide range of physical abilities\, without compromising on proximity or photographic opportunity. \nBetween excursions\, the lodge itself offers a warm and welcoming retreat. With just eight guest rooms\, a wood-fired sauna\, and a cozy communal living space\, it’s designed for both comfort and connection. Evenings are spent unwinding by the dockside fire\, reviewing images\, and sharing stories from the day\, all while surrounded by sweeping views of ocean and forested mountains. \nLed by Art Wolfe\, this small-group workshop combines immersive fieldwork with thoughtful guidance\, allowing you to refine your wildlife photography in an environment that is as inspiring as it is remote. With wildlife at your doorstep and wilderness in every direction\, this is a rare chance to slow down\, observe deeply\, and create truly meaningful imagery. \nReserve Your Spot Today \nLed by Art Wolfe\nAssisted by Gavriel Jecan\nLimited to 8 participants\n \nTransportation and Accommodation\n\nAll meals during the workshop\, lodging (all single rooms)\, and transportation to and from the lodge is included.

Our covered tour boat also ensures that you can focus on the bears rather than keeping your camera gear dry. \nViewing opportunities are excellent throughout May to September. The Khutzeymateen is world renowned for the predictability of viewing grizzly bears in a wilderness environment. Its location is remote\, and it is incredibly quiet. \nAfter each day of photography the group will return each night for a delicious dinner and can download and edit images together in communal areas of the lodge or separately in their individual rooms. \nOn the evening of Sept 14th\, after the groups farewell dinner\, Art will provide a slideshow of his favorite images and will allow each participant to participate as well. \nDay 6 Sept 15th\nOn our final morning\, once luggage has been gathered and rooms cleared\, we’ll enjoy a delicious breakfast before we collect our gear and prepare for departure. \nAll too soon\, our water taxi will arrive to return us to Prince Rupert.

Highlights include remote alpine lakes\, traditional yurt camps\, encounters with Kyrgyz horse culture\, and a private helicopter journey to the mountaineering basecamp on the South Engilchek Glacier beneath the spectacular summit of Khan Tengri. \nWith just eight participants\, the expedition offers rare access to one of the most inspiring and little-visited mountain landscapes on Earth while learning directly alongside two of the most influential nature photographers of our time. \nPhotos provided by: Justin Black \nWhen you follow the link below you will be taken to the Visionary Wild Website who is handling the logistics of this special tour. \nReserve Your Spot Today \nFew destinations on Earth are more spectacular than the Kyrgyz Republic (also known as Kyrgyzstan)\, where the great ranges of the Tian Shan rise in sweeping grandeur across Central Asia. These mountains soar higher and wilder than the Rockies\, Sierra Nevada\, Alps\, or Andes. Peaks below 16\,000 feet are scarcely considered worthy of a name. Along the Chinese border\, the Kokshaal-Too range ascends to truly Himalayan scale\, culminating in the world’s northernmost summits over 7\,000 meters: Khan Tengri (“Lord of the Skies\,” 23\,000 ft) and Jengish Chokusu (also known as Victory Peak\, 24\,400 ft). \nBeneath these immense peaks\, between the elevations of 2\,600 to 14\,000 feet at which we will be traveling\, lies a landscape of extraordinary beauty: glacier-carved valleys\, wild rivers\, forests of spruce and fir\, and high alpine pastures bursting with summer wildflowers—purple\, yellow\, pink\, orange\, and white. Nomadic Kyrgyz herders graze horses\, yaks\, sheep\, and goats across these high meadows during the short mountain summer\, maintaining traditions that stretch back many centuries along the ancient Silk Road. \nDespite its epic scenery and rich cultural heritage\, Kyrgyzstan remains remarkably little visited. Increasingly recognized as one of the world’s most compelling adventure travel destinations\, it retains a sense of authenticity and openness that has become hard to find around the globe. Since 2015\, Visionary Wild has been exploring this remarkable country\, refining an exceptional photography-focused itinerary that combines dramatic landscapes\, rich cultural encounters\, and a spirit of genuine exploration. \nThe 2028 expedition offers a particularly special opportunity: it will be co-led by world-renowned photographer\, conservationist\, and explorer Art Wolfe\, alongside Visionary Wild founder Justin Black\, who has led numerous expeditions across Kyrgyzstan over the past decade. Art Wolfe’s images—celebrated in more than 100 books and widely known through the acclaimed television series Travels to the Edge—have inspired generations of photographers to see the natural world with deeper creativity and curiosity. Traveling and photographing alongside him in one of the most visually spectacular mountain landscapes on Earth promises to be a rare and unforgettable experience. \nOur journey begins in the lively and rather charming capital of Bishkek\, where participants will gather for an introductory orientation and welcoming dinner before setting off the following morning into the mountains. Traveling in a small caravan of comfortable and and capable four-wheel-drive Toyota Sequoia vehicles\, we venture deep into the heart of the Tian Shan—through remote valleys\, across high alpine passes\, and into landscapes where nomadic culture and wild nature still flourish. \nThroughout the expedition we will focus on making the most of the finest photographic light each morning and evening. In addition to sweeping mountain panoramas\, the journey offers a remarkable diversity of subjects: alpine lakes reflecting glacier-clad peaks\, nomadic horse culture\, eagle hunters\, colorful bazaars\, and alpine wildflowers. Wildlife frequently encountered along the way includes golden eagles\, ibex\, marmots\, lammergeiers (bearded vultures with wingspans approaching ten feet)\, and the magnificent Marco Polo sheep—the largest bighorn sheep in the world. With extraordinary luck\, we might even glimpse a snow leopard or Asiatic wolf. \nThe expedition culminates with one of the most dramatic experiences available anywhere in mountain travel: an expertly piloted private Mi-8MTV helicopter (a powerful and rugged mountain variant) flight to a mountaineering base camp on the South Engilchek Glacier beneath the towering summit pyramid of Khan Tengri. Here\, surrounded by a panorama of glacier-draped peaks exceeding 19\,000 feet\, we will spend two nights photographing one of the most spectacular alpine environments on Earth. \nWith a small group of just eight participants\, generous photographic guidance\, and the combined leadership of Art Wolfe and Justin Black\, this journey promises to be both creatively inspiring and deeply memorable—a rare opportunity to explore one of the world’s last great mountain landscapes with two photographers whose lives have been devoted to celebrating the beauty of the natural world.
