Peru’s premier destination for expert-led photography workshops and expeditions — founded and operated by professional adventure photographer Matt Stacy
What is AAV?
At its core, Andes Adventure Visuals is a photography-based adventure tourism experience, led by Matt Stacy, offering hands-on photography workshops, expeditions, and audiovisual production services.
In 2022, Matt started visiting the rugged Peruvian Andes. A few years later an idea was sparked: why not make these incredible places accessible to his fellow photographer community by creating small groups focused on workshops and guided expeditions?
AAV is here for photographers, from beginners to the pros, who understand that getting the shot sometimes means starting the hike at 3am, who know that weather can make or break a composition, and who'd rather have one incredible image than a hundred average ones.
Why Choose Us?
Small-groups
Immersive, small-group learning experiences designed to build real, lasting skills. Each workshop blends hands-on field shooting with personalized guidance, giving participants the clarity, confidence, and creative tools to grow as photographers.
Rooted in authenticity
We create every workshop and expedition with passion. From the mountains we explore to the people and cultures we meet, each experience is authentic. This guarantees that the stories we tell are as real and meaningful as the places themselves.
Custom-built
Every step of our photography expeditions and workshops are crafted with photographers in mind from years of exploring off the beaten path locations in Peru. Capture the Andes, its landscapes, and its culture with expert guidance and small-group focus.
Photography Workshops
AAV’s workshops are intensive, small-group photography experiences designed to help you grow your skills while exploring some of the most breathtaking landscapes in the Peruvian Andes. These workshops cater to individuals seeking to enhance their skills for personal and professional projects. One day workshops are perfect for those with limited time.
Photography Expeditions
AAV’s expeditions focus on guiding you to compositions of Peru’s most pristine landscapes. We offer various options, from four-day treks above the Sacred Valley during the lush shoulder season to nine-day adventures that access the depths of Peru’s Andes. You will walk away from the experience with portfolio- and print-worthy images that will stand out for a lifetime.
