Extraordinary journeys, remarkable people.
WHO WE ARE
Lens Explorers is a small, independent travel company creating extraordinary photographic and cultural journeys.
Founded by National Geographic documentary filmmaker and travel photographer Matt Currington, it brings together more than 30 years of exploration, storytelling and experience.
Our journeys go beyond conventional tours — combining authentic encounters, remarkable access and the freedom to explore. And for those who love photography, the opportunity to capture extraordinary images that tell their own story.
This wasn’t just a trip, it was a journey of discovery. The access, the people and the freedom to explore made it unlike anything we’ve done before.”

“The local team made all the difference. Their knowledge, friendships and spontaneity opened doors to places we never could have found on our own.”
— CASPER, USA
We believe the best journeys leave room for the unexpected. With small groups, trusted local connections and flexible itineraries, we create the freedom to explore beyond the usual routes — and discover the moments that make a journey truly yours.
OUR APPROACH
Your journey. Your story.
HOW IT ALL BEGAN
Created by a documentary explorer.
Lens Explorers was founded by Matt Currington, an award-winning documentary filmmaker and photographer with over 30 years of experience working with National Geographic, BBC and Discovery.
His travels revealed that the most memorable journeys aren't just about extraordinary places, but the people you meet, the stories you discover and the unexpected moments along the way.
Lens Explorers was created to share that spirit of discovery with others.
Today, Matt and his trusted local team create small, personal journeys combining authentic encounters, remarkable access and the freedom to explore.
