Photograph the Very Best of Patagonia
Granite Peaks. Glaciers. Wildlife. Stars.
Capture a world-class portfolio from one of the most dramatic landscapes on Earth.
10 Days • Chile & Argentina's Most Iconic Patagonia Landscapes
October 25 - November 3, 2027
Hello, Dream Chasers!
Imagine standing beside the still waters of Laguna Amarga as the first light of day turns the Torres del Paine towers pink. Picture yourself photographing blue glacier ice at Perito Moreno, long exposures at Salto Grande, wildlife along the open pampas, and the jagged skyline of Fitz Roy rising above Patagonia.
This is a carefully crafted adventure through some of the most spectacular landscapes on Earth, designed around short-access, high-impact shooting locations. Over ten unforgettable days, we'll photograph the very best of Chilean and Argentine Patagonia, including Torres del Paine, Lago Grey, Perito Moreno Glacier, El Calafate, El Chaltén, Lago Viedma, and the Fitz Roy massif.
Along the way, you'll receive hands-on instruction in landscape photography, composition, storytelling, long exposure, editing, and portfolio development. Whether you're an experienced photographer or simply passionate about creating beautiful images, you'll leave with stronger skills, greater confidence, and photographs from places most people only dream of seeing.
If Patagonia has always been on your photography bucket list, this is your chance to experience it the right way, with iconic locations, smart access, and a plan built around creating powerful, portfolio-worthy images.
And the adventure doesn't stop there.
One of the highlights of this workshop is our unforgettable Lago Grey Glacier Cruise through the heart of Torres del Paine National Park.
Imagine gliding across the cold blue waters of Lago Grey with your camera in hand as floating icebergs drift past, the Paine Massif rises in the distance, and the glacier face comes into view. Around every turn is another incredible composition waiting to be captured.
We'll photograph glacier ice, mountain reflections, dramatic skies, textured icebergs, and the raw wilderness atmosphere that makes Patagonia one of the most unforgettable photography destinations on Earth.
Because this is a boat-based experience, this session will primarily be handheld photography, giving you the chance to work on timing, composition, long-lens details, and fast-changing light while moving through one of Patagonia's most spectacular glacier landscapes.
For many photographers, seeing the glaciers of Patagonia up close is worth the trip by itself.
And it’s more than just about taking beautiful photos, it’s about creating images that can SELL.
You’ll work closely with expert photographers and creative marketers who understand both sides of the equation: how to capture jaw-dropping images in the field, and how to turn those images into something buyers and collectors actually want. We’ll break down the types of Patagonia images with the strongest commercial potential, including iconic mountain views, glaciers, wildlife, reflections, long exposures, and dramatic story-driven travel images.
From in-the-field coaching to editing sessions and portfolio reviews, you’ll leave with photographs you’re proud of, stronger technical skills, and a smarter roadmap for turning the images from this trip into saleable work after you return home.

What You’ll Capture & What You Need To Know
Explore the major photography opportunities, then review the key trip details before reserving your spot.
What You’ll Capture
Patagonia’s Most Iconic Scenes
Every location is chosen for visual impact, dramatic light potential, accessibility, and portfolio-building value.
Torres del Paine at First Light
Begin your Patagonia photography adventure with one of the most iconic views in Chile: the Torres del Paine towers reflected in the quiet waters of Laguna Amarga. When first light hits the peaks, this is the kind of image photographers dream about for years.
Granite towers, lake reflections, wildlife, waterfalls, glaciers, and dark skies.
Laguna Amarga Sunrise
Torres del Paine towers, quiet water, mountain reflections, and the first glow of morning on one of Patagonia’s most famous skylines.
Salto Grande & Los Cuernos
Long exposure, moving water, bold mountain shapes, ND filters, and dramatic foreground-to-background compositions.
Lago Grey & Glacier Ice
Floating icebergs, glacier textures, rugged shoreline views, and a planned scenic glacier cruise for handheld photography from the water.
Gauchos, Horses & Wildlife
Photograph the human and wildlife side of Patagonia, including horses, gauchos, guanaco, condor, rhea, and wide-open pampas scenes.
New Moon Astrophotography
This trip is timed around the October 29th new moon, giving us a strong night photography window if skies cooperate.
Perito Moreno Glacier
Blue ice, massive glacier walls, dramatic scale, changing light, and hopefully a calving ice event from the boardwalk viewing system.
El Chaltén & Fitz Roy
Roadside long-lens mountain views, short-access viewpoints, jagged skyline compositions, and one of Argentina’s most recognizable peaks.
Waterfalls & Weather Flex
Chorrillo del Salto, Lago Viedma shoreline, and one final sunrise return to whichever location gives us the best chance at dramatic light.
Weather & Light Variety
Wind-carved skies, glacier blues, moody clouds, sunrise reflections, golden mountain light, long exposures, wildlife, stars, waterfalls, and massive landscapes.
Designed Around Saleable Icons
The goal is not just to take pretty pictures. The goal is to help you create recognizable, powerful, portfolio-worthy images from subjects buyers already understand.

A Real Photography Adventure
While we’ll do everything humanly possible to make sure your trip is smooth, comfortable, and packed with jaw-dropping photography moments, Patagonia is wild by nature. That means shifting clouds, high winds, changing light, sudden weather, park access rules, and a few surprises that no script could write.
Some locations or shoot times may shift depending on light, weather, road conditions, park access, operator schedules, safety requirements, permits, or local logistics. We’re always adapting with one goal in mind: helping you get the strongest images possible.
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
For those seeking even more adventure, an optional Rio de Janeiro extension is available following the workshop. This extension gives you a completely different kind of portfolio opportunity after Patagonia: city icons, coastline, mountains, beaches, architecture, and one of the most recognizable skylines on Earth.

Patagonia is wild, windy, beautiful, and unpredictable. Pack for changing conditions, long shooting days, cold mornings, warm layers, rain, wind, glaciers, and the possibility of night photography.
📷 Camera Gear
- Your Camera: Any DSLR or mirrorless camera is perfect for this workshop. Full-frame cameras offer extra dynamic range, but crop sensor cameras can absolutely create outstanding images.
- A Sturdy Tripod: Essential for sunrise, sunset, long exposures, waterfalls, glacier scenes, and astrophotography. Patagonia can be windy, so bring something stable.
- Wireless Remote or Cable Release: Optional but recommended for long exposures and night photography while reducing camera shake.
- Telephoto Lens: A 70-200mm or 100-400mm is strongly recommended for compressing mountain ranges, isolating distant peaks, photographing wildlife opportunities, and capturing intimate landscape details.
- Standard Zoom Lens: A 24-70mm or 24-105mm will likely be one of your most-used lenses throughout the workshop.
- Ultra-Wide Lens: A 14-24mm, 16-35mm, or similar lens is highly recommended for dramatic foregrounds, mountain scenes, lake reflections, waterfalls, glaciers, and astrophotography.
- ND Filters: Optional but highly recommended for waterfalls, moving clouds, glacier water, and long exposures during daylight.
- Circular Polarizer: Very useful for reducing reflections, deepening skies, improving water clarity, and controlling glare on lakes, rivers, and glacier scenes.
- Extra Batteries: Bring at least 3 spare batteries. Cold mornings, long shooting days, wind, and night photography can drain batteries faster than normal.
- Extra Memory Cards: Bring more storage than you think you’ll need. Patagonia is the kind of place where you can shoot thousands of images quickly.
- Lens Cloths, Blower & Rain Cover: Wind, dust, mist, rain, waterfalls, and changing weather are part of the experience. Keeping your gear clean and dry matters.
💻 Computer & Miscellaneous Gear
- Laptop with Lightroom or Photoshop: We’ll spend time reviewing, editing, and improving your images during the workshop.
- Laptop Charger & External Hard Drive: Back up your images every day. These are photographs you will not want to lose.
- Power Adapter: Chile and Argentina commonly use 220V power. Bring a universal travel adapter that works in both countries. Rio also uses Brazilian outlet types, so a universal adapter is safest.
- Reusable Water Bottle: We’ll often spend long days in the field.
- Sunglasses, Sunscreen & Lip Balm: Patagonia sun and wind can be intense, even when the temperature feels cool.
- Notebook & Pen: Optional, but useful for camera settings, composition notes, editing ideas, and business strategies discussed during the trip.
- Portable Battery Pack: Helpful for charging your phone during long travel and shooting days.
🧥 Clothing & Weather Gear
- Dress in Layers: Patagonia weather can shift quickly. Expect cold mornings, wind, changing light, and possible rain even if the day starts clear.
- Waterproof Rain Jacket: One of the most important things to pack. Some of the best landscape images happen right before, during, or after dramatic weather.
- Windproof Outer Layer: Patagonia is famous for wind. A windproof shell or jacket can make early morning and sunset sessions much more comfortable.
- Warm Mid-Layer: A fleece, down jacket, or lightweight insulated jacket is perfect for sunrise, sunset, and night photography.
- Comfortable Waterproof Hiking Boots: We are designing this trip around minimal hiking and short-access locations whenever possible, but you’ll still want sturdy waterproof footwear for uneven ground, boardwalks, shorelines, mud, and wet conditions.
- Wool or Hiking Socks: Bring several comfortable pairs for long days in the field.
- Warm Hat, Light Gloves & Neck Gaiter: Sunrise, sunset, wind, and night photography can get cold quickly.
- Small Daypack: Ideal for carrying camera gear, extra layers, water, snacks, rain protection, and personal items during shooting sessions.
- Casual Dinner Clothing: Keep it comfortable and practical. This is not a formal trip, but you may want clean casual clothes for group dinners.
🛂 Travel Documents & Important Prep
- Passport: Make sure your passport is valid for international travel and has enough validity beyond your travel dates.
- Entry Requirements: Check current entry, visa, reciprocity, and travel requirements for Chile, Argentina, and Brazil if joining the Rio add-on. (We can help you with this in the coming months as we all prepare!)
- Travel Insurance: Strongly recommended. Patagonia travel involves weather, remote areas, long transfers, and multiple countries.
- Medication & Prescriptions: Bring anything you need personally, plus a little extra in case of travel delays.
- Copies of Important Documents: Keep digital and physical copies of your passport, insurance, flight details, and emergency contact information.
- Clean Outdoor Gear Before You Fly: Please clean hiking boots, tripod feet, backpacks, and outdoor equipment before travel. Remove dirt, mud, seeds, leaves, and plant material to avoid issues at customs or park areas.
🇧🇷 Optional Rio Add-On Packing Notes
If you are joining us for Rio de Janeiro after Patagonia, you’ll want a few warmer-weather and city items as well.
- Lightweight Summer Clothing: Rio will likely feel much warmer and more humid than Patagonia.
- Comfortable Walking Shoes: We’ll be moving through viewpoints, city streets, beaches, and landmark areas.
- Swimsuit: Optional, but worth bringing if you want beach or pool time.
- Sandals or Flip-Flops: Useful for beach areas and casual downtime.
- Hat, Sunglasses & Sunscreen: Rio sun can be strong, especially near the coast.
- Small Crossbody Bag or Secure Daypack: Helpful for city travel. Keep valuables minimal and practical during outings.
- Light Rain Jacket: Rio can have quick tropical showers, so a light packable jacket is useful.
I accept all levels of experience in photography, but please make sure you have the gear needed; otherwise, it will be no fun for you. If you are missing a lens or an ND filter, don’t worry!
There will be no long or strenuous hiking or heavy physical exertion needed. People in their 20s-80s join us in these workshops. However, you must be able to walk up a few flights of stairs with your gear. If that is going to be a challenge, this might not be the best next workshop for you.
If you have a Non-Photographer +1, they may attend the entire adventure. But due to the high, hard costs associated with this adventure, any +1 on this trip will be the same cost as a regular photographer.
If you have more questions regarding the workshop please send an email to support@craigalexanderacademy.com.
✈️ Arriving for the Patagonia Workshop
Please book your flights so that your final destination is Punta Arenas Airport in Chile, airport code PUQ.
Most international travelers will first arrive in Chile through Santiago, Chile, airport code SCL, before connecting to a domestic flight into Punta Arenas, PUQ.
We recommend booking a single itinerary all the way to Punta Arenas, PUQ whenever possible, rather than purchasing separate tickets. This can make delays, missed connections, and baggage transfers easier to handle with the airline.
Important: Patagonia is remote, and travel days can be long. We may recommend arriving in Chile one day early, especially if you are flying from North America, Europe, or anywhere with multiple connections.
Exact arrival dates, airport meeting instructions, and recommended arrival times will be announced as we get closer to the workshop.
🏔️ Flying Home After the Main Patagonia Workshop
If you are joining only the Patagonia workshop, your trip is currently planned to conclude in El Calafate, Argentina.
Please plan to fly home from El Calafate Airport, airport code FTE.
Most travelers flying internationally from El Calafate will connect through Buenos Aires, Argentina. Depending on your airline and routing, your Buenos Aires connection may involve one of two airports:
- AEP: Aeroparque Jorge Newbery, commonly used for domestic Argentina flights
- EZE: Ezeiza International Airport, commonly used for international departures
If your route requires changing airports in Buenos Aires, please make sure you leave plenty of connection time.
Exact departure dates, recommended flight times, and final airport guidance will be announced as we get closer to the workshop.
🇧🇷 If You Are Joining the Optional Rio Add-On
If you are continuing on to the optional Rio de Janeiro, Brazil add-on, we will help coordinate the recommended flight routing from Patagonia or Buenos Aires to Rio.
The most likely route will be:
- El Calafate, Argentina, FTE to Buenos Aires, Argentina
- Buenos Aires to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
For your final flight home after the Rio extension, please plan to depart from Rio de Janeiro/Galeão International Airport, airport code GIG.
In some cases, Rio’s smaller airport, SDU, Santos Dumont Airport, may be useful for domestic Brazil flights, but most international travelers should expect to use GIG for the final flight home.
We will provide more specific flight recommendations before you book final travel so everyone has the smoothest route possible.
Hotels are going to be booked by our team for you! They are included in the price of this workshops
