HELLO, PHOTOGRAPHY SOULS!
|
|
How are you?
We are having a fabulous time here UTadventuring in Yucatan, Mexico, but squeezed in a little break to share some juicy news with you:
|
|
|
THE REGISTRATION FOR OUR BRAND NEW SUMMER 2023 TOURS IN UTAH HAS BEEN OPEN!
|
|
|
Creating exquisite art and exploring breathtaking nature are only two important elements on our tours.
UTadventure is, above all else, about the connections we make to each other.
The experience offers a unique opportunity to join with like-minded creatives and discuss passions, inspirations, goals, travels, and of course, all things photography!
Over the past 7 years, we've collected an equal amount of friendships and photos, and couldn't be more proud of the family we've devised!

“ Being on tour has shaped me in several ways.Tour was one of the first places I felt free to connect to the side of photography and art I've been yearning for. It was an opportunity to step back into what I've missed from my years of traditional art.
UTadventure takes everything I enjoy from nature, traveling, socializing, and making art, and and wraps it together into a cohesive experience.
The memories, friendships and art made on tour will forever hold a warm place in my heart.”
~Ben Franke, AKA Soulcraft

TELL US MORE ABOUT THE MODELS!
We are so excited to have Lucy, an exotic fine art model all the way from New Zealand, making her debut on UTadventure on this tour!
She has been modeling for over 9 years, and is extremely enthusiastic about it. Through flowing physical expression, her work aims to connect with others by embodying raw human emotion.
Lucy strives to capture the mood and aesthetic pervading the spaces she works within.
When Lucy isn't modelling, she is often found defying gravity by dangling from silks, swinging in an aerial hoop or some other form of physical expression.
She especially enjoys playing with dynamic art-nude shapes and is known for her graceful style of movement. |

“I am honored to finally be invited as a model for UTadventure! I have had these tours floating around in my mind for years now.
Our fine-art modelling/photography world is quite a small, connected community after all, so when travelling around the states back in 2018, I met photographers and models who raved about their amazing experiences on UTadventure.
I knew from that point that it would be a career and life goal of mine, to have the adventure of a life-time while making friends with like-minded artists from the other side of the world on the UTadventure tour. So this year, I decided to take a chance and get in touch for an interview, and I’m so glad I did.
I am so looking forward to meeting all the talented, creative individuals partaking in this trip and cannot wait to make magic together“
~Lucy

On this tour, you'll also have the honor to be creating art with Meghan Claire, who has over 6 years of professional experience as a fine art model, and whose collaborative works have been published and exhibited internationally.
Meghan brings her enthusiasm and passion for life into all of her creative endeavors. She loves being a source of inspiration and working with fellow artists to help them create and achieve their vision. She is dedicated to the process of creating art that is beautiful, sensual, emotive and poetic.
As an adventurous spirit, Meghan loves discovering new landscapes and exploring ways to harmoniously blend her form with nature.
She is most at home amongst the woods, waters and wide-open landscapes of the world.

" My favorite aspect about these tours are the relationships that are formed.
The relationship with the wild land, the relationship with one’s own wild heart, and the relationships with our fellow creatives as we collaborate and bond together from sunrise to sunset across a desert landscape that inspires us all with the wonder and majesty of her beauty.
I feel so grateful to be a part of UTadventure community, and I always look forward to coming back each year as every tour offers something new and exciting. It is such an immersive experience with the land and the community, one which is centered around a shared love of art and photography."
~Meghan Claire

We are always thrilled to have our beloved Jenn Jones, who has been with us since the very first tour, join us again and again!
Jenn is an enthusiastic model from California's central coast. Slender and flexible she is an avid yoga practitioner.
Most often working with fine art and fashion photographers, painters, sculptors, and figure drawing classes, her modeling is an expressive art form that she is very passionate about.
She really enjoys the meditative aspect of posing and getting into a flow of movement. When working outdoors she likes to let the locations inspire her posing.

"I really mean it when I say the photographic potential on these tours is endless.
Whatever your style is - fine art nudes, fashion, portraiture, even conceptual - there is not only ample opportunity for all of it on UTadventure but there is also so much to be inspired by to branch out from whatever your norm is.
The relationships formed and getting to know everyone on each tour is always a highlight for me as well. I have stayed in touch and often continue to create with most participants from previous tours that I have been on.
The many shared conversations on tour, shared meals together, and the fun (and sometimes wild off-roading) car rides provide so much opportunity for this."
~Jenn Jones

“My trip wasn’t just about photography... It was an experience.
Time in the caravan of vehicles was great to exchange stories, discuss ideas, and learn about everyone on tour. I enjoyed rotating vehicles each day to get to know everyone better. It was the building of these relationships that also proved memorable to me.
We'd share lunches and dinners, sometimes had picnics under the stars before heading back to our hotels to get cleaned up, charge our gear and prepare for the next day.
It was a week that has and continues to bring me joy.
Thanks to the models, fellow photographers, and especially Dasha and Dmitriy for creating such a wonderful community.
You have no idea the impact your tours have on some of your participants.
It has meant the world to me."
