Welcome to this specialization course!

I am Jellis Vaes, a professional travel and adventure photographer.

At the age of 18, I left school to travel the world. What was intended to be a two-month trip ended up becoming a three-year journey around the world.

During those three years, I fell in love with the world and the many beauties and adventures it held.

What was at first no more than a simple tool for me to express myself and show others what I was experiencing – the beauty and thrill of living in this world – slowly turned into a passion and love that I have turned into my profession.

As a travel and adventure photographer, I have visited more than 40 countries, worked with companies on various projects, and become a best-selling teacher. To date, I have taught a total of more than 10,000 students, and I am incredibly humbled to have shared my knowledge with them all.

In this course, I want to take you on a wild adventure and show you the art of travel and adventure photography.

The wonders and thrills of working in the field, various tricks and tips, how to take EPIC photographs that truly capture a feeling, handy accesories, the best camera equipment to travel with, photography backpacks, how to keep yourself, your photos, and your equipment safe, how to earn money through travel and adventure photography, and much, much more.

I cannot wait to embark on this most exciting photography journey with you.

I hope you are ready!

Jellis
