The descriptions below are just an introduction. More information is coming soon!

There has never been a better time to re-experience Alaska. Sure, you’ve been all through Alaska. But have you seen it? It’s time to reopen your eyes to the majesty and grandeur that is Alaska.

“A Day in the Field” Photographic Instruction

Are you a photographer? Here’s a little hint about being “a photographer”. It’s not a job title. It’s a passion. You don’t need to have your own studio, work for National Geographic, or for the local paper. You don’t have to own an $8,000 camera and $11,000 lenses. You don’t need a masters in communications.

You just have to love photography.

So, are you a photographer?

Based on the success of last year, I’m offering more 1-on-1 instructional sessions for photographers of all skill levels. Since I specialize in wild life and landscapes, that is what I will be focusing on – but every facet of what I teach is easily applied to all forms of photography. From photos of your son’s soccer game to family portrait sessions.

What do you want to learn? Composition or exposure fundamentals? Action photography or advanced techniques for capturing beautiful landscape images (it is Alaska, after all)? Photoshop, Lightroom, or Apple Aperture? How much time do you have? These sessions are 1 day long and can be scheduled to suit your needs. Want to learn more? They are easily expandable to weekend workshops or even longer. Have a friend (or 3) that loves photography too? Enroll a friend and you both get $25 off the daily rate for each day of that session!

This is your photographic foundation. Let me help you solidify it.

Rates

Weekdays (M-F) = $300/day per client

Weekends (S-S) = $250/day per client. Additional weekend days are only $200/day per client (can be separate weekends).

*Fees do not include logistics costs (where applicable). These can include, but are not limited to: lodging, transportation, vehicle rentals, logistic partner fees, permits, meals @ $50/day (for workshops ≥ 2 days “on location”), or rented photographic equipment.

Have questions or want a quote for your “Day in the Field” instructional session? Please email or call. I’ll be glad to help.

Custom Adventours – 1, 2, or Multi-Day Tours

Do you want to really experience an Alaskan adventure? Are you looking for a one-of-a-kind customized tour catered to your exact needs? Not interested in traveling with a group, or do you want an incredible family journey – one they will never forget? Do you have a small group of friends wanting to photographically explore Alaska and be led by a highly knowledgeable local as your guide? Want to learn new photographic tricks (or fundamentals) along the way? All while avoiding the tourist crowds, the packed buses and vans, and a fixed itinerary put in place by someone who doesn’t have a clue about a photographer’s schedule.

Then this is your Adventour.

From 1 day excursions to week long (or longer) treks, these are intense, fully customized and highly researched tours. If you can dream it, I’ll do my very best to fulfill it. When needed, I’ll take care of all lodging, transportation, and activities so you can sit back and enjoy the moments that you’ll be talking about the rest of your life. Well, “sit back” may be a misnomer. You’ve heard friends talk about taking a pill to help them sleep on the plane ride home? Trust me, you won’t need that prescription after this tour.

Rates

Weekdays (M-F) = $300/day per client

Weekends (S-S) = $250/day per client.

Non-photographer “tag along” rate = $150/day per “tag along”

*Fees do not include logistics costs (where applicable). These can include, but are not limited to: lodging, transportation, vehicle rentals, logistic partner fees, permits, meals @ $50/day (for tours ≥ 2 days “on location”), or rented photographic equipment.

* Tours > 2 days in length incur a one-time “Logistics Fee” of $200 (This covers the incredible amount of time it takes to plan the ultimate trip).
