Chase the Light
Across Egypt.
From the Mediterranean fishing docks of Alexandria to the coral walls of Dahab — every hour a different palette, every location a shot no preset can fake.
Alexandria
Where the Mediterranean turns silver at first light and fishing nets become silhouettes.

East · Pyramid-facing at Giza
The pyramids at golden hour are a cliché only if you've never stood there. We position you 4km west of the standard viewpoint, at the exact angle where the Sahara drops away and the light rakes across the limestone faces. Plus a full day in Islamic Cairo — the minarets, the Khan el-Khalili at magic hour.

Luxor
The Valley of the Kings in the hour before tourists arrive. Sandstone burning amber.

Northeast · Valley-facing
We have private access to the Valley of the Kings at 04:45 — ninety minutes before the gates open publicly. The sandstone catches the first light at an angle that makes every carved hieroglyph cast its own shadow. Karnak at twilight, when the columns turn from amber to deep violet.

Aswan
The Nile at its most photogenic. Granite islands, Nubian villages, feluccas on fire.

East · Nile-facing
Aswan is where the Nile turns slow and golden. We shoot from a felucca at the exact moment the sun touches the water — the moment described in every photography book but rarely actually experienced. Nubian village access for portrait work at blue hour, Philae Temple at sunset.

East · Red Sea-facing
The Red Sea at Dahab has a quality of light that exists nowhere else — the combination of clear water, white sand bottom, and the Sinai mountains behind creates a color palette that shifts from deep cobalt to turquoise to aquamarine within a single hour. Underwater housing available for coral shoots.
