SPECIAL PAC-Member Discounts Available!

Join award-winning, professional photographer, Lisa Langell on a very customized,boutique-style nature photography adventure in Alaska! This workshop is intentionally kept small and intimate—you are one of only six (6) participants on an incredible journey through some of Alaska’s most stunning scenery and wildlife habitats along the Kenai Peninsula and Gulf of Alaska.

Your leader and primary guide, Lisa Langell is known not only for her emotionally evocative wildlife images, but for her friendly, supportive, upbeat, and down-to-earth approach to helping you learn to take your wildlife photography to the next level.  If you’re an advanced photographer, she’ll help you get to incredible locations for optimal sightings!

You will also receive the combined guidance and instructional support one of two talented, kind, supportive, friendly, and knowledgeable professional photographers, Leonard Hill (June 20-26) or Nicholas Pappagallo (June 28-July 4) who will be there to give you, as needed, additional individual or small group instruction.

Learn to photograph:  Landscapes, sea-scapes, birds in flight, how to utilize various types of light, abstracts within nature, close-ups, mammals, eagles, water, properly photograph from a moving (or floating) boat, and how to maximize the 4-hour-long “Magic Hour”

We welcome photographers with diverse skill levels:
With two dedicated instructors per six participants, this workshop and tour experience offers one of the highest instructor-to-student ratios of any workshop in Alaska.  We cater to everyone from the hobbyist-level photographer who wants to further expand their skills–through to the advanced-level photographer who wants to expand their image portfolio to include stunning images that only Alaska can offer.

Photograph between approximately 70-90+ species:
This part-workshop / part-tour event will provide you with periodic tips and instruction along with plenty of time for you to photograph between an estimated 70-90+ species of birds, mammals and marine species against a backdrop of mountains, spruce forests, glaciers, rivers, lakes, fjords and ocean vistas.   You will travel by boat, vehicle, and float-plane to take you to these magical places, all while receiving the support of two photography instructors and various local guides to enrich your experience.  Download the itinerary for additional details.

Are you a good fit for this workshop?  This workshop is ideal for people with a variety of physical fitness levels.  Moderate walking (approximately a maximum of one mile at a time) and the ability to get in and out of vehicles is primarily all that is required.  We have had people between the ages of 30-70+ participate successfully on this trip!

Outstanding lodging:  Stay at  gorgeous Alaskan, family-owned lodge right on the Kenai River.  With modern amenities, wifi, home-cooked meals, and stunning views right from your patio, we have reserved the entire lodge exclusively for use by you and the group.  This offers privacy, tranquility, and spaciousness–an experience that is extremely rare among workshops in Alaska or anywhere!

“Lisa is an awesome photographer and workshop leader. She goes above and beyond to ensure your time in Alaska is maximized. This trip will provide you with the opportunity to see and experience some amazing scenery and wildlife. (The lodge) is one of my favorite places I have ever stayed and their hospitality is unmatched!”
— Jacqueline Deely (California, USA)

“Beyond the obvious benefit of touching a rare piece of nature and somewhat expected camaraderie, I have thoroughly enjoyed, at this time, six month of friendship on Facebook from my fellow participants and beyond. Many of these people are world-class nature photographers who grace my Facebook news feed, on a daily basis with awesome and wondrous photographs they have captured from across the continent and around the world.

It really is a trip that keeps on giving, and totally unexpected. I am so grateful for these people, their work and their willingness to share. It really is a trip that keeps on giving.”
–Jim Semple (Arizona, USA)

“Definitely one of the most memorable weeks of my life! Lisa took us to places to photograph wildlife like I had only ever dreamed was possible. Her knowledge of both photography and Alaska ensure you will get pictures that will forever be favorites.”
–Julie Chen (California, USA)
