We’ve got almost everything covered for you — accommodations, meals, snacks, water, transportation, and creative inspiration.

What you’ll need to bring is your own camera gear. A variety of lenses is great if you have them, and we recommend including at least one with a zoom for versatility. If you prefer to work with battery-operated lighting, feel free to bring that along too.

Please note that space in the vehicle is extremely limited, as we’ll all be traveling together in one shared vehicle. Each participant is limited to one medium-sized camera bag and one small suitcase or duffel bag. Pack smart, travel light, and get ready to create!

All participants should have a solid understanding of their camera settings, as this excursion is designed for hands-on shooting in dynamic environments. That said, photographers of all experience levels are welcome — and an on-site coach will be available throughout the trip to offer guidance, tips, and support whenever needed.

You’re welcome to share your images from the excursion on all common platforms — including social media, your website, and for marketing purposes. A model release will be signed by both models, giving you full permission to showcase your work publicly, as long as the images are used respectfully and in line with the release terms.

We do ask that you share a selection of your images with Beyond Boundaries after the trip so we can pass them along to the models and potentially feature them in promoting future excursions. A photographer release form will be provided for this purpose. It’s a great way to highlight your work while contributing to the creative community that makes this experience so special.

Each day will vary slightly as there may be more driving time needed to get to some locations, but on average you will get to work with the models for a minimum of 3 hours to a maximum of 6 hours per day.

Yes some days and locations will provide you with the ability to shoot privately with each of the models.

There will also be time for duo shots (were both models are posing together at once) for you to capture.

We’re happy to accommodate dietary restrictions to the best of our ability. Some meals will be provided by Beyond Boundaries, and others by a Lodge, both of which are prepared with flexibility in mind. Whether you have allergies, sensitivities, or specific preferences, just let us know in advance and we’ll work closely with our meal providers to ensure you’re well taken care of.
