Adventure awaits

An unforgettable adventure for landscape, wildlife, and nature photographers

This workshop is truly a dream come true for anyone who loves photographing wild places and the incredible creatures that inhabit them. From rugged coastlines to mist-draped forests—and from soaring eagles to the mighty coastal brown bears—Kodiak offers an unparalleled opportunity to capture nature at its most raw and beautiful.

Katmai National Park: The Ultimate Bear Experience

One of the highlights of this workshop is a full-day adventure into Katmai National Park, accessible only by air. After an awe-inspiring one-hour floatplane flight*, we’ll land in a remote corner of Alaska where time seems to stand still.

Here, in this pristine and untouched setting, you’ll have the rare chance to photograph grizzly bears as they fish for salmon in clear, rushing streams. Watching these powerful animals snatch, chase, and feast on salmon just a few yards away is an experience you’ll never forget.

Your safety is always our top priority—fully armed and highly experienced guides will be present at all times, ensuring you can focus on your photography while they keep watch.

Exploring Kodiak Island

Beyond our Katmai excursion, you’ll spend plenty of time discovering the untamed beauty of Kodiak Island itself.

• Walk along wild beaches and rocky tidepools

• Photograph bald eagles soaring over Kodiak Harbor

• Capture sunrise light spilling across the mountains and coastline from our base high above Women’s Bay
  
  

Whether you’re drawn to sweeping landscapes, intimate nature details, or dynamic wildlife action, you’ll find no shortage of inspiration here.

Optional Wildlife Boat Excursion

Each workshop also offers an optional boat-based wildlife tour* in and around Kodiak Harbor. This half-day adventure provides a chance to photograph:

• Humpback, gray, and fin whales

• Tufted and horned puffins

• Sea otters floating on their backs

• Seals and sea lions hauled out on rocky shores
  
  

An experienced local captain will guide us safely to the best wildlife hotspots, providing close (yet respectful) views and endless photo opportunities.

Special Kodiak Workshops

The Special Kodiak sessions is an extended version of the trip, adding one extra day and a second floatplane outing* to Katmai or another remote bear-viewing area. It also includes the 3 hour harbor boat trip. This maximizes your chances to witness and capture extraordinary bear behavior in its wildest setting, as well as marine wildlife.

This workshop promises to be an adventure of a lifetime—one that will leave you with not only incredible images but also unforgettable memories of wild Alaska.
