Introduction
Southern California is a unique place in the USA. It has ancient, majestic redwood forests, magnificent beaches of the Pacific Ocean and amazing cities: Solvang, Santa Barbara, here and Hollywood. Visiting these and many other attractions and beautiful places will remain a vivid memory, but the memories will be enhanced and become more emotional thanks to photographs taken by a professional photographer.

​

Photography
I offer not only transfer and guide services, but also offer you my extensive experience in professional photography.
PHOTOGRAPHY IS INCLUDED IN THE PRICE OF THE TRIP.
These are not skewed photos from a phone, yellow or purple from the automatic white balance in phones, shots taken mainly from a long shot, not emotional, photos in which artifacts are visible when viewed on computers and TVs, that is, on something larger than a phone screen.
I use full-frame mirrorless cameras and then color correct them to eliminate strong color shifts towards yellow, blue or other colors. If you wish, I can print the photos you choose and give them to you in a frame of your choice. The maximum photo size when printed on an inkjet printer is 13”x19” or A+/329x483 mm.
Prints and frames must be purchased for an additional fee.
In any case, you will receive photos in electronic form with a resolution of at least 3000x2000 pixels, if you wish, you can request photos with a resolution of up to 8000x5400. I will send you a link to the photos when I finish editing them. Usually, the time required to edit photos is 2-3 days, but not more than one week.

BEFORE BOOKING A TRIP, PLEASE READ CAREFULLY WHAT BELOW. WRITE ME YOUR TRIP SUGGESTIONS.

​

Vehicle
We will travel to your chosen destination in a 2023 KIA Sportage X-Pro Prestige. This is an all-wheel drive version of the KIA Sportage with improved off-road capabilities. The car has a panoramic glass roof, leather seats, USB-C charging for each passenger. I can take a maximum of three people and a small amount of luggage. For a one-day trip without an overnight stay, you do not need much luggage.
The cabin will be climate controlled. Southern California is hot most of the year, and with the windows open it will be very uncomfortable. If you want to travel in a car with the windows open, then this is only possible in late fall, spring, or when the temperature allows.

​

Departure
If the tour is relatively long, 8 hours or more, we leave early in the morning. For some tours 8 hours, for others at 6 am. You can sleep in the car if you want. We may return home late at night, please be prepared for this. If there are two or three of us who live in different areas of Los Angeles, then when leaving the city we will lose some time in traffic jams, this should be taken into account.

​

On the road
On long trips, we will stop at gas stations and have a snack. In order not to prolong the overall trip time and have more time to see the sights, you will need to keep an eye on the time.
There will be bottled water in the car for the entire trip, but you do not need to take water with you.
We all love to listen to music on the road, but I ask that you use phones and tablets with headphones to listen to music. Music will not be turned on in the car.

​

Payment for tours

100% prepayment is considered booking the trip for a specific date. I currently accept payment via Zelle, Venmo, PayPal. Zelle is the best option. Cash may be accepted in exceptional cases.

If you paid for your trip with a non-cash payment and cancel more than 24 hours in advance, you will receive a full refund to your original payment method. If you cancel less than 24 hours in advance, you will be charged a 30% rebate.
