Expedition Overview

This curated journey is designed for creators, models, and visual storytellers looking to capture Turkey's most iconic settings, from the fairy chimneys of Cappadocia to the mosques and markets of Istanbul. You'll travel as a group of 5 photographers and 5 models, creating stunning content while soaking in the beauty, culture, and charm of this unforgettable country.

From sunrise balloon backdrops to the textured streets of Balat, every day is planned around golden hour lighting, striking visuals, and opportunities to collaborate creatively. You'll stay in boutique hotels reminiscent of the old glories of the Ottoman Empire (including a cave hotel in Cappadocia!) and travel together in private transport to maximize comfort and productivity.

Beyond the incredible photo opportunities, you'll experience authentic Turkish culture, cuisine, and hospitality. This perfectly balanced itinerary allows for structured shooting time, cultural exploration, and the flexibility to let creativity flow naturally.
