NOVEMBER 23 - DECEMBER 3, 2026 • $6900

This is not just a trip to Laos—it’s a deeply immersive photographic journey designed for portrait and travel photographers who want access, intention, and extraordinary visual range. Traveling with Photo Quest Adventures, a female-led company with nearly 20 years of experience and workshops in over 100 countries, you’ll experience Laos at a pace that prioritizes light, story, and genuine connection.

You’ll photograph remote Khmu and Tai Deang minority villages such as Ban Phavie and Ban Sojam, where daily life unfolds much as it has for generations—farmers returning from the fields, elders weaving or preparing food, children playing along riverbanks, and families gathered in stilted wooden homes. These intimate settings offer powerful opportunities for environmental portraits, cultural storytelling, and respectful documentary work rarely accessible to independent travelers.

The journey blends people and place seamlessly: golden temples at sunrise, bustling morning markets in Luang Prabang, jungle waterfalls at Kuang Si, mist rising over the Nam Ou River, and dramatic karst landscapes in Nong Khiaw. Along the way, you’ll receive hands-on guidance from expert leaders in portraiture, travel storytelling, night photography, and simple off-camera lighting techniques, all within a small group that allows for meaningful access, thoughtful critique, and unhurried shooting.

This is a Quest for photographers who want more than beautiful scenery—it’s for those who want authentic human connection, visual depth, and a portfolio shaped by real moments in one of Southeast Asia’s most quietly compelling countries.

Price of $6900 is based on Double Occupancy. A single supplement for this Quest is an additional $1650.
