Destination: Yellowstone

Overview

Explore the wilderness of Northern Yellowstone through a photographer’s lens. This multi-day photography safari is an opportunity to practice and enhance your photography skills while you travel through Yellowstone National Park’s incredible landscapes, all with the guidance and keen attention of your professional photography guide. This diverse region offers photo opportunities you’ll only find here in Northern Yellowstone. Mountains, rivers, snow and ice, sunshine and shadow, wildlife from the greatest apex predators like wolves and bears to the smallest mammals and birds like red foxes, American dippers and river otters. Over several days you will have the best chance to capture the many changing scenarios of weather, wildlife and mystery that the National Park has to offer.

Highlights

• Premium Private or Small Group Safari
• Personalized Photography Instruction
• Northern Yellowstone Landscapes & Wildlife Sightings

Our professional photography tours are led by one of our passionate wildlife photography guides who are there to maximize your photography goals and build upon your skills. These tours are tailored to each guest and will benefit both amateur and professional photographers alike. Throughout the day, your guide will work with you to advance your skill set covering topics such as gear, shutter speed, aperture, ISO, framing, lighting, composition, editing, and more.

It’s important to keep in mind that landscape photography opportunities are subject to change due to weather conditions and wildlife photography is dependent on, well…wildlife, and there are no guarantees for close shots or perfect opportunities. Regardless of the conditions of the day, your guide will be happy to help you with your photography gear, answer any questions you may have about photography, and share some of their best photography practices.

This tour is van-based with ample time out of the vehicle for photography and instruction. We ask that our guests come prepared for a variety of weather conditions and terrain.
