For the visitor\, it is the legendary hospitality of Borneo’s tribal people\, as much as the magnificent rainforests themselves\, that make the island such a magical place to encounter.\n\n  \nWhy has the trip been designed this way? \n\nThe trip is designed in a way that you explore the rainforest by foot (moderate walking)\, Off-Road drives and Boat safaris.\nThis way you are able to see forests and species with different perspectives at different times of the day and night maximizing your chances of getting the best photographs.\nEach place chosen has a purpose and a target to visit. Some species are best seen on night walks\, some can only be seen by accessing those areas by boat and some by drives. While most species are distributed everywhere across the region\, certain places are better for certain species.\nFor example\, while you can see pygmy elephants at multiple locations\, sighting them by the river is your best chance and also your best chance to get great photographs. Western Tarsiers are sighted everywhere\, but sighting them in Sepilok has its advantages.\n\n \n  \nLed by Art Wolfe\nAssisted by Gavriel Jecan and noted wildlife biologist Gregory Green\, author of Wild Lives\nLimited to 10 participants\nTransportation and Accommodation\nMeals\, lodging\, and transportation specified on the itinerary are included.

Not only do they have wonderful restaurants\, but there is close access to the Oregon Coast as well as multiple abstract photo locations. Although some of our time will be spent on the coast\, the majority of it will be spent focusing on transforming your perspective on photography as we delve into the abstract realm. \nArt is a firm believer that all aspects of the craft can be improved immensely by focusing on capturing abstract imagery. The mental fortitude and attention to detail that are required for abstract photography train your brain to carefully analyze every composition you capture. Through intensive field and critique sessions Art will work closely with each participant pushing them to their creative limits and demonstrating the freedoms that you have as an artist to transform your images into beautiful pieces of art. \nAn image can have the power to stimulate the imagination and the intellect while also telling a story that awakens the senses.  Art’s challenge is to explore the nature of creativity itself and discover ways to bring its power to your images. (This workshop is conducive to all experience levels\, novice through professional.) \n \nAlso\, as a special offering\, Art has decided to give each participant a signed exclusive Limited Edition of 50 16″X20″ print that is only being offered to our domestic workshop participants!

Such was the case when I participated in a 10-day raft trip through what is arguably the least-traveled mountain range in North America\, northwestern Canada’s Mackenzie Mountains. They were named for Alexander Mackenzie\, a Scottish explorer who was the first white man to cross the entire North American continent overland\, from Montreal to Bella Coola\, British Columbia\, in 1793. Yes\, that’s right—10 years before Lewis and Clark started their trip. The Mackenzie Mountains are located both in and outside of the spectacular\, remote wilderness of Nahanni National Park Reserve\, along the Yukon border with the Northwest Territories. During our journey\, the weather remained unseasonably wet and cold\, with rain showers occurring virtually every day. While the wildlife encounters were good\, with sightings of gray wolves and small herds of mountain caribou\, the mountainous terrain was largely concealed in the clouds. One evening the clouds parted to reveal a stunning display of northern lights\, catching everyone by surprise. Displays such as these usually occur much later in the fall\, so no one had anticipated seeing them. When photographing northern lights\, I’ve discovered that the most intriguing compositions are the ones that include part of the landscape\, because that provides a much clearer context in which to view the displays. \nCanon EOS-1N\, Canon EF 17–35mm\, f/2.8 at 30 seconds\, Fujichrome Provia 400 film\n \n \n \n \n \n USA\, Alaska\, Glacier Bay National Park\, bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) in flight\n \n \n \n \n \n Aurora borealis\, Brooks Range\, Alaska\, USAThe aurora borealis is an atmospheric phenomenon that occurs as electrically charged particles from the sun make gases glow in the upper atmosphere.

Begin on the shores of Kachemak Bay in Homer\, where hundreds of bald eagles gather against a backdrop of snow-covered mountains and pristine coastal wilderness. Over two full days on the water\, you’ll photograph these magnificent birds from specially chartered boats\, capturing everything from dramatic flight shots and aerial interactions to intimate portraits in one of North America’s premier eagle photography destinations. \nFrom the rugged coastline of southern Alaska\, we’ll travel north into the heart of the Interior to Chena Hot Springs\, where the focus shifts from wildlife to the night sky. Here\, beneath dark Arctic skies and far from city lights\, we’ll pursue one of nature’s most spectacular displays the Aurora Borealis. With multiple nights dedicated to northern lights photography and opportunities to photograph Alaska’s winter landscapes\, this expedition offers the chance to create a diverse portfolio of wildlife\, landscapes\, and night imagery. On clear days\, we may even be rewarded with views of Denali rising above the Alaska Range\, providing yet another unforgettable photographic opportunity. \nDuring the daylight hours at Chena Hot Springs\, participants will have opportunities to attend informal image reviews\, photography lectures\, and post-processing discussions with Art. These sessions provide a chance to refine techniques\, receive feedback on recent images\, and prepare for upcoming aurora photography outings. Topics may include wildlife photography workflow\, composition\, night photography techniques\, aurora camera settings\, and image editing approaches. The schedule will remain flexible to take advantage of weather conditions\, photographic opportunities\, and participant interests. \nWhether you’re hoping to capture the piercing gaze of a bald eagle\, the vibrant ribbons of the northern lights\, or the grandeur of Alaska’s winter wilderness\, this expedition is designed to maximize photographic opportunities while providing expert instruction and guidance throughout the journey. \nEarly Bird Pricing Through September 30th!  \nReserve Your Spot Today \nLed by Art Wolfe and Gavriel Jecan\n Limited to 8 participants\n Minimal hiking involved\n\nTransportation and Accommodation\n\nAll accommodations throughout the tour are included.\nWe have secured a private luxury motor coach for the groups transport to Anchorage from Homer on February 13th.\nFlights to Fairbanks from Anchorage on February 13th are included in the tour fee.\nShuttle services to and from the Chena Hot Springs resort from Fairbanks are also included in the tour fee.\nThere will be 2 boat charter sessions provided per day while the group is in Homer.

From Salta’s colonial streets to the high-altitude deserts and volcanic plateaus\, this journey offers photographers the chance to capture the region’s dramatic vistas from every angle including the sky. Expansive salt flats\, towering volcanic craters\, and colorful desert formations provide the perfect playground for drone photography\, while each lodge and village stop ensures comfort and local insight. Small group sizes mean personalized guidance and plenty of time to frame the perfect shot\, whether from the ground or above. \nBeyond the canyons and valleys\, La Puna reveals a high-altitude world of astonishing contrasts: jagged volcanic calderas\, vast white pumice fields\, shimmering crater lakes\, and surreal sand dunes that stretch to the horizon. Remote villages like El Peñón and Tolar Grande punctuate the landscape\, offering glimpses of local life and culture amid this stark\, pristine wilderness. Each day presents new photographic possibilities\, from mirror-like lagoons to the vibrant mineral streaks of the desert floor\, ensuring that every corner of La Puna provides a fresh\, striking perspective for photographers. \n(Photographs provided by Daniel Korzeniewski) \nReserve Your Spot Today \nLed by Art Wolfe\nAssisted by Gavriel Jecan\nLimited to 10 participants\nTransportation and Accommodation\nAll meals\, lodging\, and transportation specified on the itinerary are included. You will be responsible for your flight to and from Martín Miguel de Güemes International Airport located in Salta. You are encouraged to arrive one day prior to the workshop so that there is no worry of flight delays causing any problems. \nItinerary\nMarch 11 Salta\nArrive in Martín Miguel de Güemes International Airport located in Salta where you will be met and transferred to the hotel. Check in to the hotel and dinner together with the group. \nOur exploration of Salta’s historical landmarks kicks off with iconic sites like the San Bernardo Convent\, San Francisco Church\, and the lively central square\, blending history with vibrant city life. Next\, we make our way to the MAAM (Museum of High Mountain Archaeology)\, a fascinating destination where we delve into the ancient High Mountain Sanctuaries of the Andes\, the enduring Inca influence in Salta\, and the captivating Pre-Columbian history of South America. The museum offers a unique perspective\, showcasing the groundbreaking discovery – recognized by National Geographic\, of an Inca sanctuary atop the Llullaillaco Volcano. Amidst our cultural immersion\, we’ll stroll through some of the city’s most authentic markets and boutiques\, offering a chance to experience the local pulse in true cosmopolitan style. \nThis all-inclusive tour package covers admission to the MAAM Museum\, accompanied by a knowledgeable guide\,\nensuring an enriching experience from start to finish. \nMarch 12 Salta – Quebrada de las Conchas – Cafayate\nWe embark on an exploration of Quebrada de las Conchas\, a canyon sculpted over the last 50 million years by vast\ndeposits of minerals\, specifically clay and sandstone\, shaped through the patient erosive forces of water and wind.\nThis geological masterpiece unveils a narrative of a bygone era\, where a humid and warm climate dominated the\nregion\, giving rise to an immense lake that\, over millions of years\, has left behind its mineral vestiges painted across the vibrant mountains. \nNestled amidst the captivating landscapes of the Argentinean Northwest\, Cafayate stands as a jewel in the heart of the Calchaquí Valleys. Renowned for its unique blend of natural beauty\, viticultural excellence\, and cultural charm\, this town captivates every visitor. Cafayate is synonymous with vineyards that stretch as far as the eye can see\, producing some of Argentina’s finest wines. \nThe altitude\, soil composition\, and climate converge harmoniously\, creating the perfect terroir for grape cultivation. Visitors can embark on a journey through the lush vineyards\, sampling exquisite wines and learning about the meticulous winemaking process. Adding to its allure\, Cafayate embraces community-based tourism activities that provide a deeper connection to the local way of life. \nMarch 13 Cafayate – Quebrada de las Conchas – Cafayate\nWe will cross the imposing Quebrada de las Conchas\, also declared a natural heritage of Humanity is a 65 km canyon of sedimentary rock formations from the Mesozoic and Cenozoic eras (90-60 million years). The characteristic red color derives from the presence of ferric oxide in its mineral deposits. The name of the Shells derives from the abundant amount of fossil colonies of seashells\, fish and mollusks\, testimony to the humid tropical climate that dominated the area in remote times. \nMarch 14 Cafayate – Santa María – Hualfín – El Peñón\nFollowing Route 40 in direction to the south\, we will explore one of the most deserted regions of Argentina. In the\nmorning we’ll visit the archeological site of Quilmes\, probably the most interesting Pre Inca Ruins of NW Argentina\,\nwith a dramatic history that gave an end to its ancient population. After Hualfin\, the road will start to climb to reach\nthe Desert Plateau called Puna. Between groups of vicuñas\, giant white sand dunes\, volcanos and lagoons\, we will\nreach the Oasis of El Peñón\, our starting point for tomorrow’s excursions. \nThe small village of El Peñón is located in the heart of the unbelievably beautiful Argentine Puna (Andean High Altitude Desert). Is the perfect base to explore wonders like Laguna Grande where thousands of flamingos meet in spectacular surroundings\, as well as towering dunes\, the vaste Natural Reserve Pumice Stone Field (Campo de Piedra Pomez)\, the Oasis of Antofalla inhabited by 60 people along one of the most important Salt Flats of South America. The village is also strategically located to go on expeditions to the remote Galán Vulcano and the stunning Peinado Volcano & Lake regions among other hidden gems of the Andean Mountains. \nMarch 15 El Peñón – Volcán & Laguna Carachi Pampa – Campo de Piedra Pómez – Dunas Blancas \nOur adventure starts today at the edge of Campo de Piedra Pómez\, as we reach the Carachi Pampa basin\, in its\nmargins there is a volcano of the same name\, surrounded by black lava fields and a lagoon\, where the Andean\nflamingo\, and the James’ (or puna) flamingo can be found. During the dry season a small salt lake is formed around the lagoon. \nLater\, our journey will continue into the Natural Reserve Campo de Piedra Pómez\, a strange and stunning landscape carved into the rock that gives rise to its name: The Pumice. Of purely igneous origin\, it was produced from a massive explosion of the volcanic stratum. This cloud has spread the ashes and debris in large areas and in different directions\, which crystallized by the effects of the temperature giving shape to these wonderful rocks with special features and with plenty of holes produced by the escape of gases during the chilling stage.This degassing phenomenon made the rock very easy to carve by the winds of the Puna\, arid and harsh winds that move freely through the region\, becoming the best and most prominent Andean rock sculptors. \nThis strange landscape of white labyrinths and climbing sand dunes is located a few miles to the west\, on a track where the path continues through some sand that we could describe as the dream of the explorer\, an overlanding adventure. Return to the Hotel\, just in time to enjoy stunning sunset views from the village \nMarch 16 El Peñón – Laguna Grande – Cerro Galán Caldera – Laguna Diamante\nWith an early start\, we will drive in direction to Antofagasta de la Sierra as we enter the region of Real Grande\, where traces of the first settlements of the Puna can be found in ancient petroglyphs\, dated 10000 B.P. and entrance point to Cerro Galán Caldera from the Northwest. Cerro Galán\, is one the world’s largest volcanic calderas and greatest of the Andes Mountains\, and it is the result of an extreme plinian eruption that occurred 2.2 million years ago. Its identification as a volcanic caldera was performed using satellite photographs\, since its elliptical shape is too large to be able to be appreciated from the ground. The Caldera contains a lake in its south western corner\, known as Laguna Diamante\, which is home to flamingos and ducks\, protected from the wind by the walls\, in this extremely harsh environment. \nOur path will lead us to another high altitude Andean lake\, known as Laguna Grande Reserve\, a saline lake that sits at an altitude of 4150 meters. During winter\, the water freezes completely\, but when spring arrives\, it becomes the\nlargest gathering center of the Puna flamingo birds\, also called Small Parina\, with more than 19\,000 birds (25% of the known total population). It is also a place for summer congregation for the Andean flamingo  and it is a common nesting site of Southern flamenco. We will drive to El Peñón with the perfect warm light of sunset. \nMarch 17 EL PEÑÓN\nThis day is open for Art to decide where he wants to take the group. \nMarch 18 El Peñón – Antofagasta de la Sierra – Quebrada de Calalaste – Vega Colorada – Oasis Antofalla & Antofallita – Cono de Arita – Tolar Grande\nAntofagasta de la Sierra was the biggest Oasis on the path connecting this side of the Andes with the Oasis of San\nPedro de Atacama (Chile). It is a big village with more than 2\,000 people who maintain their ancient traditions and\nculture. The valley of Calalaste\, just a few kilometers away from Vega Colorada is the best spot to find wild camelids. With wide views over the Antofalla Volcano lays a green field home to llamas\, suris (Andean ostrich)\, wild donkeys and vicuñas. \nAntofalla\, together with Antofagasta and Santa Rosa\, were important stations for llama caravans connecting this part of the Andes with the Oasis of Atacama. The Oasis is located just at the border of the longest salt flat in the world\, among red mountains and lava strips. Antofalla is still inhabited by a tiny community of 60 people who are all shepherds. Tolar Grande lies at the border of a giant depression\, the Salar de Arizaro\, one of the biggest salt flats in the world. From this tiny old railway village built in 1940\, there is a unique view over the western ridge of the Cordillera\, an infinite skyline of volcanoes higher than 6\,000 meters. \nMarch 19 Tolar Grande \nThe schedule is open for Art to decide what he would like to do. \nMarch 20 ATolar Grande – Desierto del Laberinto – San Antonio de los Cobres – Salinas Grandes – Purmamarca\nThe morning in Tolar Grande unfolds with opportunities for breathtaking short hikes\, including a must-visit to the Hidden Sand Dune\, providing a 360° panorama from Sacred Macon Mountain to Llullaillaco Volcano. Our journey proceeds to Ojos de Mar\, small salt formations with aquamarine lakes harboring ancient stromatolite bacteria colonies. Crossing the Labyrinth Desert\, a 10-million-year-old dune landscape\, we ascend to Abra Chorrillos at over 4\,500 m\, where we explore the cultural significance of the Apacheta in Andean culture. San Antonio de los Cobres welcomes us\, a quiet\, high-altitude village and the starting point of the renowned Tren a las Nubes. \nContinuing on Route 40\, we pause at La Juguetería\, a captivating rock formation resembling dice on a gaming board\, formed by a volcanic eruption. Susques\, a historic town with pre-colonial roots\, precedes our journey to Salinas Grandes\, Argentina’s whitest salt flats\, surrounded by volcanoes. We marvel at the vast salt expanse and capture perspective-defying photos. Descending the Cuesta de Lipan\, the highest point of our route\, we enjoy the best view of the Eastern Cordillera of the Andes. As the sun sets\, we reach Purmamarca\, famed for its Cerro de Siete Colores. \nMarch 21 Purmamarca at leisure\nThis is another day that has been left open for Art to decide after accessing the previous days photo sessions and options. \nMarch 22 Purmamarca – Jujuy – Salta\nReturn to Salta from the Humahuaca Valley\, driving through the small towns of Jujuy at the limit with Salta. \nMarch 23 Salta Out\nPrivate Transfer from Hotel to Salta Airport \nEnd of tour \nReserve Your Spot Today URL:https://events.artwolfe.com/event/wild-wonders-of-la-puna-argentina-photography-expedition/ CATEGORIES:Travel with Art,Workshops ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://events.artwolfe.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2026/03/20250916-Tolar-Grande-Argentina-239.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Art%20Wolfe%20Inc":MAILTO:info@artwolfe.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20270427 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20270508 DTSTAMP:20260819T052423 CREATED:20260507T213208Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260807T174403Z UID:5994-1808784000-1809734399@events.artwolfe.com SUMMARY:Turkey Photography Journey: Culture\, Coastlines and Cappadocia -EARLY BIRD SPECIAL!

Time permitting\, there may also be an optional visit to a local arts and handicrafts center before returning to the hotel. \nOvernight: Cappadocia \nMay 2 Cappadocia – Konya (B)\nAn early morning departure takes us to the spectacular Ihlara Valley\, where we’ll photograph the dramatic canyon landscape in the soft light of sunrise. As the first rays of sunlight illuminate the valley walls\, we’ll explore the entrance area\, seeking compositions that capture the scale\, textures\, and beauty of this remarkable landscape. \nFollowing our morning photography session\, we’ll enjoy breakfast along the banks of the Melendiz River in the village of Belisırma\, a peaceful setting nestled beneath the canyon’s towering cliffs. We then continue to Selime\, a fascinating village renowned for its rock-cut dwellings\, ancient cave structures\, and otherworldly scenery that has often been compared to the landscapes of a science fiction film. \nLater\, we journey across the Anatolian plateau toward Konya\, stopping en route at the historic Sultanhanı Caravanserai\, one of the finest surviving inns of the Silk Road era. By afternoon\, we arrive in Konya\, the spiritual heart of Turkey and home of the Mevlevi Order\, better known for the mesmerizing tradition of the Whirling Dervishes. \nOvernight: Konya \nMay 3 Konya – Antalya – Cirali (B)\nThis morning we photograph the Mevlana Museum in Konya\, the final resting place of the celebrated poet and mystic Rumi and the spiritual center of the Whirling Dervish tradition. The museum’s elegant architecture\, atmospheric courtyards\, and rich cultural heritage offer a compelling start to the day. \nWe then travel south toward the Mediterranean coast\, arriving in Antalya to explore its charming Old Town. Narrow cobblestone streets\, Ottoman-era architecture\, and the picturesque harbor provide abundant photographic opportunities. As evening approaches\, we’ll capture the warm light of sunset illuminating the harbor’s fishing boats and historic waterfront. \nContinuing along the coast\, we arrive in the tranquil village of Çıralı\, nestled between the mountains and the Mediterranean Sea. After dinner\, we take a short hike to witness one of Turkey’s most remarkable natural phenomena—the eternal flames of the Chimaera\, where natural gas vents have burned continuously from the rocky hillside for centuries. The flickering flames against the night sky create a unique and memorable photographic experience. \nOvernight: Çıralı \nMay 4 Olympos – Kekova – Kaş (B\,L)\nAfter breakfast\, we journey to the beautiful coastline of Kekova\, where a private boat excursion offers opportunities to photograph the turquoise waters\, hidden coves\, and the famous Sunken City. Partially submerged by ancient earthquakes\, the ruins visible beneath the clear water create a fascinating blend of history and landscape. \nFollowing lunch aboard the boat\, we continue to the picturesque seaside town of Kaş\, one of Turkey’s most charming Mediterranean destinations. After settling into our hotel overlooking the sea\, we’ll spend the afternoon exploring the harbor and waterfront streets\, photographing daily life as fishermen\, shopkeepers\, and local residents gather along the waterfront. \nAs the day draws to a close\, we’ll head to Kaputaş Beach\, renowned for its dramatic cliffs and brilliant blue waters. Here we’ll photograph the spectacular colors of the Mediterranean during sunset. \nOvernight: Kaş \nMay 5 Kaş – Dalyan – Pamukkale (B\, D)\nAn early departure brings us to Dalyan\, where we photograph the remarkable Lycian rock tombs carved high into the cliffs overlooking the river. Dating back more than two thousand years\, these monumental facades offer a striking glimpse into the region’s ancient past. \nOur journey continues to Saklıkent Gorge\, one of Turkey’s most impressive natural wonders. After breakfast beside the river\, we’ll have time to explore the dramatic canyon and enjoy the cool waters flowing through its towering limestone walls. \nLater\, we travel inland to Pamukkale\, famed for its dazzling white travertine terraces created by mineral-rich thermal springs. As the sun begins to set\, we’ll photograph this extraordinary landscape as the terraces glow with soft evening light and reflect the changing colors of the sky. \nOvernight: Pamukkale \nMay 6 Pamukkale – Istanbul (B\, D)\nThis morning we transfer to the airport for our flight to Istanbul. Upon arrival\, a private transfer brings us to our hotel in the historic heart of the city. \nIn the afternoon\, we’ll enjoy a private cruise along the Bosphorus\, the legendary waterway that separates Europe and Asia. From the water\, we’ll photograph an ever-changing panorama of elegant Ottoman waterfront mansions\, grand palaces\, historic fortresses\, and vibrant neighborhoods lining both shores. The Bosphorus offers a unique perspective on Istanbul’s rich history and its role as a crossroads between continents. \nOvernight: Istanbul \nMay 7 Istanbul – Departure for home (B)\nAfter breakfast\, a private transfer will take you to the airport for your onward flight home\, concluding our photographic journey through Turkey. \nEnd of tour \nReserve Your Spot Today \nNote: Cancellation fees apply.

The exact location can’t be known in advance but when it appears\, we will be there\, positioned for its most compelling photographic expression. Your role is to focus on the image. Ours is to guide you into place: the right stretch of open plains\, at the right moment\, with the right light\, alongside experts who have spent their careers interpreting the sky. \nImages provided by Bruce Omori and Steve Saviano \n  \nThe forecast leads.

Learn more about our privacy policy. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nEach morning begins with a detailed atmospheric briefing. From there\, the team identifies the most promising target area. Some days the chase may be a short drive; other days it may span several hundred miles. The day unfolds in response to evolving conditions\, and the storm dictates the path. Having a good working knowledge of how your camera works and the ability to act fast when packing and unpacking your gear will be critical. As in some cases the group will need to jump out to get a quick photo\, then back into the van to move on to the next location and you don’t want to hold up the rest of the group. \nItinerary \nThe objective is consistent each day: position you within optimal photographic range of the most visually compelling supercell activity available. Days begin with early forecasting discussions and continue with adaptive travel across the plains. By late afternoon and evening\, cameras are ready as storms mature and light conditions peak. \nWhat to Expect \nMeteorological analysis and photographic instruction operate side by side throughout the journey. The storm tracker follows each system from early development through dissipation\, while the photographic team helps you interpret structure\, light\, and composition during the brief windows when conditions align. Guidance is continuous\, especially when the storm reaches its most expressive stage. \nAccommodations \nAs daylight fades—sometimes early\, sometimes late—the team transitions from storm position to lodging near the next forecast zone. Accommodations are arranged in advance along the route\, with each participant provided a private single room to ensure rest between long field days. \nPeace of Mind \nThis workshop is designed around photographic distance rather than close interception. The goal is not to enter hazardous storm cores\, but to position at a vantage point where structure\, scale\, and atmosphere are clearly visible and photographically powerful. Safety is central to every decision and is integrated into all forecasting and positioning strategies. \nWhat’s Included \nGround transportation\, lodging\, and instructional guidance are included throughout the tour. The workshop begins and ends in Denver\, Colorado. Meals are taken on the road as conditions allow\, with snacks and water provided in the field vehicle each day. \nA workshop for photographers who want more than chance—where timing\, positioning\, and interpretation come together so you can concentrate fully on making images when nature delivers its most dramatic moments. \n\nDeparture Window: May 18–May 24\nDuration: 7 days\nGroup Size: 5 photographers\nGuides: 3\nRegion: Great Plains\, USA\nStarting and Ending Point: Denver\, CO URL:https://events.artwolfe.com/event/storm-chasing-for-photographers-great-plains-early-access/ CATEGORIES:Travel with Art,Workshops ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://events.artwolfe.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2026/05/I5A5197.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Art%20Wolfe%20Inc":MAILTO:info@artwolfe.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20270616 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20270621 DTSTAMP:20260819T052423 CREATED:20260310T230145Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260702T235434Z UID:5710-1813104000-1813535999@events.artwolfe.com SUMMARY:California Coast Photography Retreat: Abstracts and Otters 2027 DESCRIPTION:USA\, California\, Monterey Bay\, sea otter (Enhydra lutris)\n \n \n \n \n \n USA\, California\, Monterey Bay \, rocky coastline\n \n \n \n \n \n USA\, California\, Moss Landing Wildlife Area\, Elkhorn Slough\, harbor seal (Phoca vitulina richardsi)\n \n \n \n \n \n USA\, California\, brown pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis californicus) \, Moss Landing Wildlife Area\, Elkhorn Slough\,\n \n \n \n \n \n USA\, California\, abstract sandstone formations\n \n \n \n \n \n USA\, California\, brown pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis californicus)\n \n \n \n \n \n USA\, California\, \, Moss Landing Wildlife Area\, Elkhorn Slough\, \, southern sea otter (Enhydra lutris nereis)\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n USA\, California\, brown pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis californicus) \, Moss Landing Wildlife Area\, Elkhorn Slough\,\n \n \n \n \n \n USA\, California\, Monterey\, rocky seashore\n \n \n \n \n \n Monterey cypress tree\, Monterey Coast\, California\, USA\n \n \n \n \n \n USA\, California\, \, Moss Landing Wildlife Area\, Elkhorn Slough\, southern sea otter (Enhydra lutris nereis) \, kayakers\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n USA\, California\, Elkhorn Slough Reserve\, harbor seal (Phoca vitulina)\n \n \n \n \n \n USA\, California\, Elkhorn Slough Reserve\, \, kayaker\, photographer\n \n \n \n \n \n Giant kelp\, Point Lobos State Reserve\, California\, USA\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Monterey cypress (Cupressus macrocarpa) branches covered in Trentepohlia algae\, Point Lobos State Park\, California\, USA \nPhase One A/S P45+\, focal length 115\, f/29 for 1/5 second\, ISO 200\nCal090512010001\n \n \n\nBased in beautiful Monterey\, CA this small group retreat is designed to combine the best aspects of a relaxing vacation\, inspiring lectures\, and hands-on workshop all into one exquisite trip.

Not only is the area home to gorgeous beaches\, renowned dining options\, and a variety of wildlife and shorebirds – it also happens to be an excellent location to capture abstract images. \nThis location is brimming with variety – not only is there a plethora of abstract subjects all within a close proximity\, but there are also fantastic ocean landscapes\, and of course sea otters which we will photograph from kayak.  You did read that correctly – we are also going to bring our group to a fantastic location where they can comfortably photograph sea otters from kayaks. If you have never been in a kayak before\, fear not! We have guides available that will be doing all the paddling work so you can sit back and focus on soaking up the views and taking stunning photos that you can proudly share with friends and family – the kind no one else is bringing home! \nThis special workshop is beginning on Wednesday\, June 16th\, with a welcome gathering at the hotel lobby in Monterey. Our classroom sessions will take place at the beautiful Bradley Photographic Gallery in Pacific Grove. \nThough the location is visibly fabulous on the surface\, we will strive to peer deeper into our surroundings and find the landscapes-within-landscapes; metaphors and visualizations beyond the obvious.

Our sources on the island will ensure we are seeking out these various anomalous creatures at the best times\, with evening walks to capture nocturnally active species as they begin their nightly routines. \nI also hope to capture a truly unique animal while we are here – the elusive fossa\, Madagascar’s largest mammalian carnivore. Closely related to the mongoose family\, fossa are widespread throughout the island\, but in very sparse populations. Combined with the thick forested habitat it prefers\, it can be a difficult animal to locate\, but I think we are up to the task! \n \n\n \n \n Advance notification list for workshop\n Fill out this form to be the first to be notified when this Art Wolfe Workshop is available for enrollment. \n \n X/TwitterThis field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.Name*\n \n \n First\n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Email*\n \n Phonenot required but often very helpfulWorkshopHave you traveled with us before?*\n \n \n Yes\n \n \n \n No\n Number of people wanting to attend?*1234Additional InformationAny other information that may be pertinent to the pre-registration of this workshop. \n \n I'd like to receive information from Art about upcoming events\, classes\, and travel opportunities\n Newsletter PreferenceGeneral (bimonthly)Blog Posts (weekly)Both\n By clicking submit you allow Art Wolfe Inc. to contact you using the information you have provided.

The reserve is home to six species of lemur and the south’s largest colony of Madagascar fruit bats. The easiness to observe sauntering Ring-tailed lemurs and ‘dancing’ Verreaux sifakas has turned this small protected area into one of the prime Madagascar’s primary destination. \nJuly 27 Berenty-Fort Dauphin\nAnother half day visit of Berenty reserve\, then we return to Fort dauphin. \nJuly 28 Fort Dauphin-Antananarivo\nTransfer to the airport for the flight back to Antananarivo.

So anyone that wants to go over there early can join him to finish selecting their images for the critique. \nParticipants may photograph with Art’s assistants or independently. \n\n12:00 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. Group Critique and Review\n\n\nDo not be intimidated by this four hour critique session! It is often the most constructive and informative segments of Art’s workshops. Art will upload each participants images onto his computer and will project the images as he uses lightroom  showing his artistic vision as he edits the photographs for the entire class to see. Participants are asked to bring two samples of their work to share. \nServices Included\n\nInformative classroom lecture\nIntensive field instruction\nImage review critique session\nInspirational presentation with Hors d’oeuvres and beverages hosted at Art Wolfe’s home\nThe use of the classroom with screen\nSnacks and coffee provided during classroom sessions\n\nServices Not Included\n\nHotel accommodations\nTransportation\nLunch URL:https://events.artwolfe.com/event/creative-sessions-through-the-abstract-lens-in-seattle/ CATEGORIES:Travel with Art,Workshops ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://events.artwolfe.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2026/05/48A3033.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Art%20Wolfe%20Inc":MAILTO:info@artwolfe.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20270910 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20270916 DTSTAMP:20260819T052423 CREATED:20260319T195445Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260702T182500Z UID:5757-1820534400-1821052799@events.artwolfe.com SUMMARY:Among Giants: Bears and Whales of Khutzeymateen DESCRIPTION:Brown bear\, Katmai National Park\, Alaska\, USA\n \n \n \n \n \n Canada\, British Columbia\, Great Bear Rainforest\,\n \n \n \n \n \n Canada\, British Columbia\, Great Bear Rainforest\, \, humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae)\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Canada\, British Columbia\, Great Bear Rainforest\,\n \n \n \n \n \n Brown bear (Ursus arctos)\, Katmai National Park\, Alaska\, USA\n \n \n \n \n \n Canada\, British Columbia\, western osprey (Pandion haliaetus) with starry flounder (Platichthys stellatus)\n \n \n \n \n \n Brown bear (Ursus arctos)\, Katmai National Park\, Alaska\, USA\n \n \n \n \n \n Canada\, British Columbia\, Great Bear Rainforest\,\n \n \n \n \n \n Brown bear (Ursus arctos)\, Katmai National Park\, Alaska\, USA\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Canada\, British Columbia\, Canada goose (Branta canadensis)\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Brown bear (Ursus arctos)\, Katmai National Park\, Alaska\, USA\n \n \n \n \n \n Canada\, British Columbia\, Great Bear Rainforest\,\n \n \n \n \n \n Brown bear shakes off water\, Katmai National Park\, Alaska\n \n \n \n \n \n Canada\, British Columbia\, great blue heron (Ardea herodias)\n \n \n \n \n \n Brown bear cubs\, Lake Clark National Park\, Alaska\, USA\n \n \n \n \n \n USA\, Alaska\, Glacier Bay National Park\, brown bear (Ursus arctos)\n \n \n \n \n \n Canada\, British Columbia\,\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n USA\, Alaska\, Glacier Bay National Park\, brown bear (Ursus arctos)\n \n \n \n \n \n Canada\, British Columbia\, Great Bear Rainforest\, \, humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae)\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n USA\, California\, Monterey\, Elkhorn Slough\, harbor or Pacific common seals\, Phoca vitulina richardsi\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Harbor seals\, Vancouver Island\, Canada\n \n \n \n \n \n Brown bear\, Katmai National Park\, Alaska\, USA\n \n \n\nTucked deep within the remote wilds of British Columbia’s Khutzeymateen Inlet\, this exclusive photography retreat offers a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in one of North America’s most pristine coastal ecosystems. Accessible only by boat\, Khutzeymateen Wilderness Lodge serves as your floating basecamp\, an intimate\, off-the-grid haven where wildlife quite literally surrounds you. \nOver the course of four full days in the field\, you’ll photograph coastal brown bears as they forage along salmon-rich creeks and rivers\, alongside opportunities to capture humpback whales\, sea lions\, seals\, and an extraordinary array of birdlife including bald eagles\, herons\, and gulls. Timing is carefully chosen to coincide with peak salmon activity and the presence of whales in the area. So we have a variety of wildlife to photograph. \nAll field excursions take place by boat\, allowing for exceptional wildlife access without the need for long hikes or strenuous activity. This makes the experience well-suited for photographers of a wide range of physical abilities\, without compromising on proximity or photographic opportunity. \nBetween excursions\, the lodge itself offers a warm and welcoming retreat. With just eight guest rooms\, a wood-fired sauna\, and a cozy communal living space\, it’s designed for both comfort and connection. Evenings are spent unwinding by the dockside fire\, reviewing images\, and sharing stories from the day\, all while surrounded by sweeping views of ocean and forested mountains. \nLed by Art Wolfe\, this small-group workshop combines immersive fieldwork with thoughtful guidance\, allowing you to refine your wildlife photography in an environment that is as inspiring as it is remote. With wildlife at your doorstep and wilderness in every direction\, this is a rare chance to slow down\, observe deeply\, and create truly meaningful imagery. \nReserve Your Spot Today \nLed by Art Wolfe\nAssisted by Gavriel Jecan\nLimited to 8 participants\n \nTransportation and Accommodation\n\nAll meals during the workshop\, lodging (all single rooms)\, and transportation to and from the lodge is included. You will be responsible for your flight to and from Prince Rupert\, our starting and ending point\, and for your hotel in Prince Rupert.

Our covered tour boat also ensures that you can focus on the bears rather than keeping your camera gear dry. \nViewing opportunities are excellent throughout May to September. The Khutzeymateen is world renowned for the predictability of viewing grizzly bears in a wilderness environment. Its location is remote\, and it is incredibly quiet. \nAfter each day of photography the group will return each night for a delicious dinner and can download and edit images together in communal areas of the lodge or separately in their individual rooms. \nOn the evening of Sept 14th\, after the groups farewell dinner\, Art will provide a slideshow of his favorite images and will allow each participant to participate as well. \nDay 6 Sept 15th\nOn our final morning\, once luggage has been gathered and rooms cleared\, we’ll enjoy a delicious breakfast before we collect our gear and prepare for departure. \nAll too soon\, our water taxi will arrive to return us to Prince Rupert.

Highlights include remote alpine lakes\, traditional yurt camps\, encounters with Kyrgyz horse culture\, and a private helicopter journey to the mountaineering basecamp on the South Engilchek Glacier beneath the spectacular summit of Khan Tengri. \nWith just eight participants\, the expedition offers rare access to one of the most inspiring and little-visited mountain landscapes on Earth while learning directly alongside two of the most influential nature photographers of our time. \nPhotos provided by: Justin Black \nWhen you follow the link below you will be taken to the Visionary Wild Website who is handling the logistics of this special tour. \nReserve Your Spot Today \nFew destinations on Earth are more spectacular than the Kyrgyz Republic (also known as Kyrgyzstan)\, where the great ranges of the Tian Shan rise in sweeping grandeur across Central Asia. These mountains soar higher and wilder than the Rockies\, Sierra Nevada\, Alps\, or Andes. Peaks below 16\,000 feet are scarcely considered worthy of a name. Along the Chinese border\, the Kokshaal-Too range ascends to truly Himalayan scale\, culminating in the world’s northernmost summits over 7\,000 meters: Khan Tengri (“Lord of the Skies\,” 23\,000 ft) and Jengish Chokusu (also known as Victory Peak\, 24\,400 ft). \nBeneath these immense peaks\, between the elevations of 2\,600 to 14\,000 feet at which we will be traveling\, lies a landscape of extraordinary beauty: glacier-carved valleys\, wild rivers\, forests of spruce and fir\, and high alpine pastures bursting with summer wildflowers—purple\, yellow\, pink\, orange\, and white. Nomadic Kyrgyz herders graze horses\, yaks\, sheep\, and goats across these high meadows during the short mountain summer\, maintaining traditions that stretch back many centuries along the ancient Silk Road. \nDespite its epic scenery and rich cultural heritage\, Kyrgyzstan remains remarkably little visited. Increasingly recognized as one of the world’s most compelling adventure travel destinations\, it retains a sense of authenticity and openness that has become hard to find around the globe. Since 2015\, Visionary Wild has been exploring this remarkable country\, refining an exceptional photography-focused itinerary that combines dramatic landscapes\, rich cultural encounters\, and a spirit of genuine exploration. \nThe 2028 expedition offers a particularly special opportunity: it will be co-led by world-renowned photographer\, conservationist\, and explorer Art Wolfe\, alongside Visionary Wild founder Justin Black\, who has led numerous expeditions across Kyrgyzstan over the past decade. Art Wolfe’s images—celebrated in more than 100 books and widely known through the acclaimed television series Travels to the Edge—have inspired generations of photographers to see the natural world with deeper creativity and curiosity. Traveling and photographing alongside him in one of the most visually spectacular mountain landscapes on Earth promises to be a rare and unforgettable experience. \nOur journey begins in the lively and rather charming capital of Bishkek\, where participants will gather for an introductory orientation and welcoming dinner before setting off the following morning into the mountains. Traveling in a small caravan of comfortable and and capable four-wheel-drive Toyota Sequoia vehicles\, we venture deep into the heart of the Tian Shan—through remote valleys\, across high alpine passes\, and into landscapes where nomadic culture and wild nature still flourish. \nThroughout the expedition we will focus on making the most of the finest photographic light each morning and evening. In addition to sweeping mountain panoramas\, the journey offers a remarkable diversity of subjects: alpine lakes reflecting glacier-clad peaks\, nomadic horse culture\, eagle hunters\, colorful bazaars\, and alpine wildflowers. Wildlife frequently encountered along the way includes golden eagles\, ibex\, marmots\, lammergeiers (bearded vultures with wingspans approaching ten feet)\, and the magnificent Marco Polo sheep—the largest bighorn sheep in the world. With extraordinary luck\, we might even glimpse a snow leopard or Asiatic wolf. \nThe expedition culminates with one of the most dramatic experiences available anywhere in mountain travel: an expertly piloted private Mi-8MTV helicopter (a powerful and rugged mountain variant) flight to a mountaineering base camp on the South Engilchek Glacier beneath the towering summit pyramid of Khan Tengri. Here\, surrounded by a panorama of glacier-draped peaks exceeding 19\,000 feet\, we will spend two nights photographing one of the most spectacular alpine environments on Earth. \nWith a small group of just eight participants\, generous photographic guidance\, and the combined leadership of Art Wolfe and Justin Black\, this journey promises to be both creatively inspiring and deeply memorable—a rare opportunity to explore one of the world’s last great mountain landscapes with two photographers whose lives have been devoted to celebrating the beauty of the natural world.
