Wildlife Photography in the heart of Bear Country

Here is our premier workshop for next year and I promise it will be sold out by January 1, so if you want to go please don't hesitate to call right now....713-502-9235 to make your reservation!!!!

Homer, Alaska – June 4-11, 2011

Wildlife adventure is the heart of our trip to Homer, Alaska, where we focus on photographing bears in Katmai Park. Two small groups of just five workshop participants will experience the real Alaska! Your bear-viewing adventure begins as you take off in a float plane two days in a row to find and photograph bears. Check out what others have said about this adventure of a lifetime on Trip Adviser – only your trip will be even better as we focus on capturing professional images for you to keep forever.

Specifically chosen during the spring when the salmon are running and the bears are active, we maximize your opportunity to photograph bears fishing in the river as we sit on the nearby banks, watching mothers teaching their young cubs to fish and forage in the lush Alaska landscape.

This bear-photography adventure will be led by myself along with Craig & Sarah, Emerald Air’s experienced pilots and guides. We will have the floatplane secured for just our group!!

Accommodations have been arranged for Workshop participants only to stay at Majestic View, a highly-rated, 5-bedroom Bed & Breakfast. Guests of Majestic View have praised hostess Maria’s outstanding accommodations and “to die for” breakfasts. As you relax in the hot tub at Majestic View, you are almost sure to see Moose and their young grazing on the grounds nearby during this time of the year.

The back-to-back workshops run the first week of June 2011. The first workshop begins Saturday afternoon, June 4 and ends with a final banquet Tuesday night, June 7, with guests departing after breakfast on Wednesday, June 8. The second workshop begins Wednesday afternoon, June 8 and ends with a final banquet on Saturday night, June 11, with guests departing after breakfast on Sunday, June 12.

Although we focus on bears during this workshop, Homer, the Halibut capital of the world, also offers world-class fishing and other spectacular scenery, including Kachemak Bay, Alaskan glaciers, and "Ring of Fire" volcanoes in the Cook Inlet – each is a perfect backdrop for a photographic experience to remember and treasure. Come with us to Alaska where you will have the adventure of your life and images for a lifetime.

  1. How safe is it to hike back in the woods where the bears are?

  2. We will be guided by people that do this everyday and have done so for over 10 years and they have never had even an incident with a bear, and yet we will see many bears during each of our day trips. They will explain to us exactly what we can do and what we CAN NOT do, and there will be no exceptions since our safety is their primary concern. We will not be able to wonder around on our own, and one of the reasons why we are limited to only 6 people at a time.

    Animals attack people when they get in the way of their access to food and to protect their young or get startled by our sudden appearance. We will not be attempting to do any of these.

    Hope that was helpful!
