ADVENTURE PHOTO EXPEDITIONS is a service offered by Carole Devillers, a photographer with 30 years experience in the field and represented in the book "Women Photographers at National Geographic". It currently offers expeditions to New Mexico, France, India, and Haiti. Designed especially for photo enthusiasts by a photographer, all expeditions are led by Carole Devillers.

As a ten-year correspondent for Reuters News Pictures in Haiti, from 1990 to 2000, she covered the political unrest and street battles in Port-au-Prince, during which she was shot at, held at gunpoint and had film confiscated.

You can see her photographs and read of her experience with the Sahelians of Burkina Faso (West Africa), with the Wayana Indians in the Amazonian forest of French Guiana, and with the voodooists of Haiti as she joined them in their purification pilgrimages, in the pages of National Geographic Magazine. She was also the subject of a National Geographic's Cable TV program EXPLORER "On Assignment..." as they follow her documenting Haitian voodoo pilgrimages, and was invited to give her presentation "Crossing the Culture Gap" at National Geographic Society's Grosvenor Auditorium in Washington D.C. for their "Masters of Photography" series.

Attracted by the American Southwest, Carole moved to New Mexico in 2000.

In addition to various international publications and calendars, Carole's work has been published in the following books:
"The Odyssey - 100 years of photography as art" by National Geographic (1988)
"Women Photographers at National Geographic" by National Geographic (2001)
"The Geography of Religions" by National Geographic (2004)
"Mother, Daughter, Sister, Bride" by National Geographic (2005)
"America 24/7" and "New Mexico 24/7" by DK Publishing (2004)
"Visions of Santa Fe" by Squarebooks (2005)
"The World's Greatest B&W Photography" by The Spider Awards (2007)

She is the recipient of several awards from Expo New Mexico, the Hubbard Museum of the American West, the DFAS-NM, and the B&W Spider Awards.

She is represented in the private photo collection of the Hubbard Museum of the American West.

After ten years in New Mexico, Carole left Albuquerque in October 2010 and moved to Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood, Florida, in order to be closer to Haiti where she has been returning regularly on humanitarian missions following the devastating earthquake of January 2010.
