Not a tour. A way of making things.
Ricardo and Leo are photographers, filmmakers and directors. We design Gaia expeditions the way we'd plan our own shoots: the right place, at the right hour, in the right conditions, with time to get it right.
So the days look different from a normal trip. We're out for sunrise and back out for blue hour. We skip the busy viewpoints, we wait for the weather, and we stay long enough to go back to the same place when the light changes. Along the way we share everything: how we scout, plan, direct, shoot and edit.
How we design a tripFive rules we don't break
01Light first
The days are planned around golden hour, blue hour and the night sky. Midday is for travel, food, rest and editing.
02Away from the crowds
No tourist traps, no queues, no shooting over other people's heads. Quiet sides, early starts and local guides who know where to go.
03Fewer places, more time
We stay put, so we can return to the same dune, peak or valley in different light and actually make something.
04Conditions over checklists
Weather windows, tides, wildlife habits. The plan flexes to give you the best chance at the shot, not to tick a list.
05Create together
Shoots side by side, reviews in the field and editing sessions at night. You see how we work, and we help you find your own way.
Why it's worth itTwo kinds of traveller, one trip
