INSIDE JAPAN
WINTER IN JAPAN
BHUTAN
Focus your lens on Japan’s exquisite wintertime landscapes, where snow, ice, and steaming hot springs provide the backdrop to a thrilling wildlife display. Explore dynamic Tokyo, then fly north to Hokkaido to document the island’s magnificent red-crowned cranes as they perform courtship dances in the snow. Marvel at ice or snow sculpture masterpieces at a winter festival; and conclude your journey in Nagano, photographing Japan’s famed snow monkeys.
Set out into the mountains of Bhutan to shoot images of exquisite temples, timeless farming villages, and the towering Himalaya. Photograph masked dancers during a private performance and crimson-robed monks against a backdrop of whitewashed dzong architecture. Hike into forests where wild moss creates an otherworldly atmosphere, and photograph breathtaking panoramas of snow-clad peaks.

In the Omo River Valley, meet and photograph diverse peoples who distinguish themselves with elaborate body paint, scarification, and lip plates. Document bustling market scenes, and train your lens on the exquisite underground churches of Lalibela. Capture the excitement of one of Ethiopia’s traditional celebrations: the Meskel festival in September or the Timket (Epiphany) festival in January.
