Pack a rain jacket, sandals, and well-worn shoes to guarantee comfort.
Sunscreen, bug repellent, swimsuits, shorts, short sleeves shirts, hats, and sunglasses
Bring one or more outlet plug adapters. Brazil has two different options.

Trip Checklist

Information

We want you to have a unique and unforgettable experience with us! Below you'll find a checklist to help you organize your photography adventure. We are here to help if you have any questions.

You should have comprehensive travel insurance to cover any cancellations initiated by you. In addition, it should cover all expenses such as medical, air ambulance, helicopter rescue, and repatriation costs.
The workshops will only occur with a minimum of four photographers. If, for any reason beyond our control, the workshop cannot happen on the pre-determined dates, you won't lose your spot or the payments you've made. We'll postpone the workshops and determine another date.
Our Photography Adventure Workshops are an adventure; therefore, we often travel to remote areas where medical assistance might be far away. In addition, different countries have peculiar hygiene, quality of accommodations, and various safety standards than the ones you might be accustomed to. Sometimes things don't go as planned, and delays and discomfort come about. We do everything we can to ensure your security and welfare, with the understanding that when you sign-up for a landscape photography tour, it means that you embrace the hazards accompanying this type of adventure.
Vitor Lindo Creative Works can't be held responsible for the repercussions of delays, your own extra personal expenses, adjustments, and modifications provoked by changes in local laws, strikes, or acts of God.

Other Details

Have the latest operating system on your laptop.
Ensure your Lightroom is up to date and will work offline in case of spotty internet reception.

Triple-check all your batteries, camera straps, cords, chargers, adapters, memory cards, cleaning cloths, external hard drives, power strips (recommended), remote triggers, and tripods.
If you have a second camera body, bring it. You never know when your first option will stop working or get damaged.
You might want to invest in a headlight if you don't already have one.
Know your camera! If you just bought a new one, make sure you take time to practice before the workshop. You don't want to waste great shot opportunities because you are having camera setting issues. Although the workshop is for all levels, knowing all your equipment well for quick setup will be advantageous. And remember that we'll be shooting early morning and after dark, so you'll have to do your setup in the dark.
Private classes are available for booking. As an adventure photography workshop participant, you'll receive the exclusive $200 rate/hour. Book Here
