Ascen Aynat
Travel Writer & Photographer
I’m a travel writer and photographer specializing in creating detailed and practical guides that help travelers make the most of their vacations. I’m passionate about sharing useful and up-to-date information, always based on my personal experience and in-depth knowledge of the destinations I explore. My goal is to provide authentic and valuable content, regardless of whether the destination is popular or remote.
On my website, Capture the Atlas, you’ll find comprehensive information about several cities and national parks in the USA, where I’ve lived since 2017. I’ve also written extensively about tourist destinations in Spain, including the Canary Islands, which I know intimately. My guides cover a wide range of countries across Europe, Latin America, Asia, and Oceania, reflecting my extensive travels and immersion in local cultures and landscapes. They aim to simplify the trip-planning process for the destinations I specialize in.
Additionally, I return each year to destinations with exceptional photographic appeal, such as Iceland, Norway, Patagonia, and Alaska, to lead photography groups. Together, we capture stunning landscapes, Northern Lights, wildlife, and starry skies. As an expert in advanced photography techniques, including astrophotography with star trackers, I enjoy teaching others how to capture the Milky Way and other natural phenomena in some of the most remote and spectacular places in the world.
