INTRODUCTION
Journey through one of the most culturally rich and photogenic volcanoes on the planet. Mount Bromo is the most iconic and picturesque mountain in Indonesia standing majestically tall at 2329m. The scenery in the crater is otherworldly, it has vents that keeps spewing off yellow-white sulfurous smoke and low laying clouds that cover the lower portion of the major crater. It is a volcanic paradise of ethereal and breathtaking landscapes.

Join me in this photography adventure in East Java, Indonesia. We will explore Mount Bromo via chartered 4x4 jeeps and a comfortable shuttle bus. We will drive up to different vantage points to witness its spectacular beauty during sunrise/sunset for stunning light and colors and also during twilight/night for star trails or Milky Way. There will be photography sessions with locals to provide cultural photographic experience. A rare photographic opportunity for photographers motivated in pushing their portfolio and skills to the next level.
