Since 1979, Close-up Expeditions has operated tours in over 40 countries and 25 states, offering a year-round schedule of adventures, lasting from 7-21 days. We've spent over 30 years doing what we love -- helping serious amateur Nature and Travel photographers create stunning images and develop an understanding of the world around them.
 
Unlike many tour companies who travel with groups of 20 people or more, our small groups provide photographic adventure. Usually just 6-7 photographers in go-anywhere, stop-anytime vans. CUE guides are professional photographers focused on your photography. Whatever your skill level -- you'll do your best work on a Close-Up Expedition. See our new gallery of client and CUE images at www.donlyon.zenfolio.com.
 
Our unique Fieldnotes provide a detailed record of each day's shooting -- invaluable for organizing your images and presenting travelogues. Read examples from past trips at www.mytb.org/cuephoto
 
Many CUE clients travel with us every year. Some have taken over 20 tours with us and anxiously await each year's new adventure schedule. Their own words best describe the Close-Up Expedition experience.
