Photography
Golden-hour light, portraits and landscapes, timed for the photographer.
Central Asia is extraordinarily photogenic: tilework at close range, adobe walls at sunset, faces in the bazaars, and mountain and desert landscapes on a vast scale.
A photography trip is planned around light, with early starts at the Registan, blue hour in Khiva, sunsets at Ayaz Kala and enough time at each place to wait for the moment. Always ask before photographing people; most will say yes.
