Photography Portraits to Travel

Travel and PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY

Are you a traveler at heart? Curious and crave flexibility when you explore?


These small-group photography trips to Cuba and Mayan Guatemala are made for creative, independent spirits—especially solo travelers. With a focus on culture, connection, and street photography. Our photo trips are immersive and eco-conscious. We are ready to lend a hand and travel with purpose.

I’m Sherrlyn Borkgren, an international photojournalist with over 25 years of experience capturing stories around the world. I know these countries deeply—not like a tourist, but as places I’ve lived, worked, and come to love.

Back home in Oregon, I photograph portraits, headshots, boudoir for women, business stories, elopements and street photography.

Take a look around—I’d love to travel with you. Sherrlyn Borkgren, photographer

Journalist World Wars

War Photography is something I chose to photograph because I wanted to learn the truth. After years of working during the covert war in Guatemala, I went to Iraq as a contract photojournalist. First I must include that I think a lot of people get wrong what a photojournalist actually does. In my experience, I am usually the person discovering the story, the person finding a different more humanistic side of the story and the person listening empathetically. There are always two sides and as a trained cultural anthropologist I feel that I have an educated advantage and I at least try to be objective when I hear their stories. No one can be completely unbiased because we grow up with ideas we have formed but we must try to put ourselves into the lives of others to understand. It's my job to explain and to create curiosity in my viewers so that they too may seek the truth in the story. Yet I've learned that no matter what I show others will find their own mirrors in each image. So be it that is what makes us the humans that we are.
