Lumen Dei is a unique experience; it is a photographic tour that tells you not where to point your camera, but why. While there is instruction on the technical end of things, Lumen Dei assumes you already know where the shutter button is. Instead, our focus is on providing you with a rich cross-cultural experience and insights into eastern life and culture that simply can’t be gained on a traditional photo tour.

“Our express purpose is to open western eyes to unfamiliar people and places and to teach those eyes to shoot from the heart and tell compelling stories through the camera.”

You will have the chance to photograph people and places you’ve only seen in your imagination. Along the way we’ll immerse you in the culture and teach you how to shoot people, places, & culture in a sensitive way.
