Welcome

Hi, I’m Kevin, a writer and photographer. I’ve travelled through more than fifty countries with my camera, and I founded Shutter Safari to help photographers plan independent trips.

I write guides and articles on discovering photography locations, understanding the conditions, and making better decisions in the field. Whether you’re researching a destination or working on your photography, these pages contain clear information and guidance for all levels.
