Why settle for a "standard" bus tour when you can journey into the frozen heart of the North on a private expedition with a seasoned expert? Based an hour outside of Fairbanks, Alaska, I don’t just show you the lights; I help you capture the soul of the Alaskan wilderness.
As a published author and award-winning photographer, I’ve spent decades documenting the raw beauty of this Last Frontier.

Master the Skies: Birds in Flight Photography Workshop
WORKSHOP DATES: May 9 - September 21-2026
Duration: 5 hours (pickup, dropoff, 3 hours in the blind).
Capture the power, speed, and grace of the Alaskan wilderness from the best seat in the house.
Taking a photo of a perched bird is a start; capturing a raptor or waterfowl in mid-air at full speed is an art form. Join me for an intensive, high-energy Birds in Flight (BIF) photography tour based right here in the rugged heart of Alaska.
As a published author and award-winning professional photographer, I’ve spent a lifetime studying the movement of the wild. Having guided over 10,000 clients into the wild, I’ve perfected the "Duck Blind" experience to be as educational as it is exhilarating. Whether you’re a hobbyist or a seasoned pro, I’ll help you master the technical precision required to freeze time.
What You’ll Master on This Adventure
This isn't just about clicking a shutter; it’s about the thrill of the chase. In this upbeat, hands-on workshop, we cover:
- Tracking Techniques: How to maintain focus on erratic, fast-moving targets.
- The "Flight Path" Secret: Predicting bird behavior to get the perfect wing-spread composition.
- Lighting the Wild: Managing the unique, dramatic Alaskan light to emphasize texture and color in every feather.
Secure Your Spot in the Blind
Opportunities for elite bird photography in Fairbanks are seasonal and highly sought after. To maintain a professional, one-on-one detail oriented learning environment this expedition is limited to 2 people. You must be fit enough to hike 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile relatively flat tails.
Ready to level up your portfolio? Join me in the wild and turn those "blurry misses" into award-winning captures.
