The Philippines photography trip will be full of beautiful routes. First of all, we will visit mountain villages and photograph the tribes living in these villages. Afterwards, we will see the most popular places in the Philippines by taking inter-island planes and boats. Our trip coincides with the period when the rainy season is about to end. In this case, we may have the chance to see yellow rice fields in mountain villages. However, our main goal is to photograph the tribes there.
I'm an archeologist and art historian also photographer. I make photo tours mostly. This means we go to some hidden places and some villages. Some non-touristic areas. Which is very good. Each of our tour is unique.
