We’re going to Namibia (Skeleton Coast)...

Are you in?

Around the New Moon...

From September 10th to September 25th 2025, Carel Steenkamp, Jabi Sanz (PhotoPills Masters) and myself (Rafael Pons from the PhotoPills Team) will embark on an extraordinary journey across Namibia’s desolate Skeleton Coast to photograph the Milky Way and the golden light along with the soul of this African gem...

A hidden world, untouched by time, where nature reigns supreme. A place that few have visited, and even fewer have photographed.

And one of the darkest skies on the planet!

Of course...

We’ll be taking photos all day long...

But...

Can you imagine it?

To photograph the breathtaking Southern Hemisphere Milky Way and Africa’s enchanting Golden Light, paired with the wonders of the mesmerizing Kunene River mouth, untouched coastlines, abandoned mining sites, weathered shipwrecks, vast salt pans, vibrant wetlands, ancient rock carvings, endless dunes, dramatic valleys, rugged shores, ferocious crocodiles, elusive desert elephants, rare black rhinos... and the fascinating Himba people!

We’re dreaming about it!

To achieve it, we’ll use the planning power of PhotoPills and the expert knowledge of Carel Steenkamp, Jabi Sanz and myself to always be at the right place at the right time.

Top secret: we have quite a few legendary photos planned already ;)

This is a glimpse to what happened in the PhotoPills Expedition to Iceland. We had so many adventures and so much fun... We can’t wait for Namibia (Skeleton Coast)!

But you don’t have to take our word for granted. Here’s what some PhotoPillers say about the PhotoPills adventures:

“I went to Iceland expecting to have the opportunity to photograph the marvelous landscape and master nightscapes. What I encountered was so much more – 14 kindred souls from across the globe who share a passion for photography. Together we expanded our creative boundaries, learned from one another and had an insane amount of fun in the process. I am confident that everyone came away from the experience a better photographer.”

“From the very moment the guys from PhotoPills announced the expedition to Iceland... I didn’t think it twice! I was using PhotoPills but not at its full capacity, so I had no better chance to learn from the creators of this amazing app. The experience was even more amazing than anything I could have imagined. In Iceland, I discovered a bunch of folks as crazy about photography as I am. I had a blast!

Photography is a continuous learning process, you always find something new that motivates you to improve. And this adventure made me improve more than I could imagine.”

"The PhotoPills guys know how to create a fantastic experience. They bring an infectiously fun energy and are always willing to drop some handy photography knowledge on you that you will take with you. You take their trip and you'll for sure have a good time, get some amazing pics and leave a better photographer."

“During my experience in Iceland I lived wonderful moments and had surprises that were beyond the expected. It completely exceeded my initial expectations! Sharing knowledge, experiences and ways of working and living photography with such a great group has been one of the most enriching life experiences I have ever had.

Who he said that learning and knowledge sharing can not be wonderfully fun?”

“I can't say enough about what a fantastic time I had during the PhotoPills Iceland photo tour! The guys from PhotoPills and Donal Boyd were so knowledgeable, accommodating, and especially lots of fun. Never a dull moment – nonstop action and shooting of amazing landscapes for 10 days. I came away with enough images and memories to last a lifetime!”
