Where the AndesMeet Your Lens
Small group photography-based adventures in Peru. Led by someone who knows when the best light hits, where to go, and how to get the shot.
After 5 years uncovering Peru’s hidden valleys and ridgelines, Matt Stacy now leads small-group photo journeys into the region’s most remarkable places.
Three Ways To Capture the Andes
Photography Expeditions
Tailor-made journeys for up to 10 photographers to remote locations. Focused on capturing THE shot. Matt brings you to the locations and shows you the shots—this is a guided experience, not instruction. Experience the location and capture great images.
Photography Workshops
Small groups, expert instruction, and thoughtfully curated routes through Peru’s iconic Andean terrain. Learn new skills, build your portfolio, and see the mountains the way a working adventure photographer does.
For Agencies
For trekking and mountaineering operators who want to offer clients pro photography add-ons. We capture the adventure, your clients get professional images, and you gain year-round marketing content.

What Makes Us Different (Besides Knowing All the Secret Spots)
Built by Years in the High Andes
Our founder, Matt, has been exploring Peru’s rugged Andes mountains for 5+ years and has built AAV’s programs based on experience that short-term visitors can’t replicate.
Adventure Designed for the Shot
Every step of our photography expeditions is planned with photographers in mind. Capture the Andes, its landscapes, and its culture with expert guidance and smallgroup focus.
Skills Over Souvenirs
Our workshops are based on a proven teaching method that will enable you to confidently and independently tell visual stories. Immersive instruction and 1-on-1 reviews ensure that you gain skills that you can then take with you in your future projects.
Authenticity is Our Core
We create every workshop, expedition, and agency service with passion. Every experience with us, from the mountains we explore to the people and cultures we meet, is carefully planned and executed. This makes sure that the stories we tell are as real and meaningful as the places themselves.
