On every trip, my focus is on creating a relaxed, immersive, and well-organized travel experience where photography, learning, and enjoyment come together naturally.
Trip planning starts long before anyone arrives. I do thorough due diligence on destinations, seasonal conditions, wildlife activity, accommodations, transportation, and local partners. I work with experienced guides and operators, revisit locations when possible, and pay close attention to the details that affect safety, comfort, and the overall flow of a trip. The goal is to be in the right place at the right time, with the flexibility to adapt as conditions change. In the field, I see my role as equal parts guide, teacher, and problem-solver. I support photographers across a wide range of experience levels and focus on practical, real-world instruction. I enjoy helping experienced photographers work toward specific goals, just as much as making complex topics easy to understand for less experienced or new photographers and helping them apply those ideas in ways that feel natural and useful. Learning happens through conversation, observation, and hands-on time rather than a classroom-style structure.
I aim to create an atmosphere that is relaxed, friendly, and supportive. People tend to do their best work when they feel comfortable, engaged, and unhurried. Trips are designed to encourage curiosity, questions, and shared experiences without pressure or ego. It is my hope that every photographer comes home with images they are proud to share and great stories to tell. Please check out their TESTIMONIALS
My photography travels have taken me across Africa, India, Central America, and South America. While the images matter, what stays with me most are the full experiences of place: landscapes, culture, food, and especially making new friends, meeting people along the way, and learning from the experiences and perspectives of those I travel with.

I am genuinely grateful for the opportunities photography has given me and for the people I have met along the way. Leading trips continues to be both rewarding and humbling, and I look forward to continuing this work, exploring new places, returning to familiar ones, and sharing meaningful experiences with photographers who are curious, engaged, and eager to improve.
When I’m Not on Tour
When I am not leading trips, I work as a professional portrait and headshot photographer. That work keeps me closely connected to people, and it continues to strengthen how I communicate, teach, observe, and interact with photographers on my trips. If you would like to see that side of my work, you can visit my portrait and headshot website here: www.adiringerheadshots.com
I was born in Brooklyn and raised in Argentina, so I speak Spanish and feel at home navigating different cultures. When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me traveling, photographing wildlife, playing pickleball, dancing salsa, or spending time with my family.
