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! (Valued at $1120) \nAs an alternate option you can have our office print one of your own images at the 16″X20″ size from the workshop if you like.  \nHere is the print you will receive as part of your enrollment: \n \n \n\n                \n                        \n                            Wait list form\n                            The event you are interested in is sold out.

SUMMARY:Alaska Eagles and Aurora Photography Adventure - EARLY BIRD SPECIAL!
DESCRIPTION:Bald Eagle\, Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve\, Alaska\, USA\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				USA\, Alaska\, Glacier Bay National Park \, bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus)\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Bald eagle perched on a log\, Chilkat River\, Alaska\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Aurora borealis\, Mackenzie Mountains\, Northwest Territories\, Canada\nI love the unexpected moments in nature photography when elements converge to create magic. 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. The Brooks Range in Alaska lies within the Arctic Circle and thus provides a more predictable chance to see the aurora borealis.\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus)\, Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve\, Alaska\, USA\n\nIUCN Red List Status: Increasing Population / Least Concern\n\nCanon EOS-1D X Mark II\, EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM lens\, f/10 for 1/4000 second\, ISO 2000\n\nJuly 2018\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				USA\, Alaska \, Glacier Bay National Park \, bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus)\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Clouds part to reveal a stunning display of the aurora borealis.\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Bald eagle\, Alaska\, USA\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Bald eagles\, Alaska Chilkat Bald Eagle Perserve\, Alaska\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Aurora borealis\, Mackenzie Mountains\, Northwest Territories\, Canada\n				\n		\n\nExperience two of Alaska’s most iconic photographic subjects in a single unforgettable journey. 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.

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

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

If you have attended Art’s popular “Photography As Art” seminar\, images from this location may look familiar to you. 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. With guidance and challenges from Art followed by critiques to cap the day\, there is no doubt that you’ll come way from this small group retreat improved as a creative photographer\, and hopefully with new like-minded friends as well! \n  \nReserve Your Spot Today \n \nLed by Art Wolfe and Libby Pfeiffer\n Limited to 8 participants\n Minimal hiking involved\n\nTransportation and Accommodation\n\nParticipants are responsible for their own transportation to the hotel\, lodging and meals.\nUpon registration you will download a PDF that includes the hotel information. Please call the hotel directly to make your reservations.\n\nItinerary\nShooting schedules have the ability to be altered to effectively cater to the photographic desires of the group\, as well as to adapt to changeable weather conditions. \nDay 1:\n\nMeet and greet at 6pm at a meeting room. Everyone can introduce themselves\, and Art will give a brief description of the proposed itinerary.\nAfter our brief and informal meet and greet we will depart for a lovely dinner together.\n\nDay 2:\n\nThis day will begin with an inspiring lecture from Art. He will show you photographs from the region and highlight specific camera settings so you can capture similar beautiful images once we head into the field.\nAfter the lecture the group will head out into the field and will pick up lunch on our way out. We have selected great locations that will offer both abstract compositions and beautiful landscapes.\nAfter our day of shooting we will return to the hotel to download images from the day of shooting before we depart for another lovely dinner together.\nDine together with Art and staff (no host dinner)\n\nDay 3:\n\nArt may schedule an additional critique on this morning\, so that you can learn from the previous day in the field before we head out for another day of shooting. These mid-workshop critiques prove to be invaluable because you can learn from any mistakes that have been made while there is still time to go out into the field and correct them.\nFollowing the brief critique we will have another full day in the field.\nDownload images from the day of shooting\nDine together with Art and staff (no host dinner)\n\nDay 4:\n\nField shoot: Special morning “we paddle you photo” kayak photo session in the Elkhorn Slough\, one of the top 10 wildlife viewing destinations in the nation. We will photograph seals\, sea otters\, a variety of birds\, and some marine wildlife as well. This is a great opportunity to photograph from the water level where you can capture intimate compositions\, while not disturbing the wildlife.\nAfter our morning field session we will have lunch together at a local restaurant and head back out into the field.\nOur afternoon field session will include photographing rocks and waves with slow exposures and if there is an opportunity for a nice sunset we will photograph that as well before we had back for our group dinner.\nDine together with Art and staff (no host dinner)\n\nDay 5:\n\nGroup critique and review. Please note\, this is not an intimidating process\, but often one of the most constructive and informative segments of the workshop.\nLearn from each others images while they are projected for the group. Art will adjust them in Adobe Lightroom and provide instruction.\nWorkshop will conclude by 12pm\n\n  \nEarly Bird Pricing Available Through June 30th!  \nReserve Your Spot Today

SUMMARY:Mongolia Photo Journey: Eagle Hunters\, Naadam Games\, and Shamans 2027 -TWO SPOTS LEFT-
DESCRIPTION:In late afternoon\, Kazakh hunters train a golden eagle to respond to commands. For centuries\, the Kazakhs\, who reside in Western Mongolia\, have taken eagle chicks from the nest and hand-trained them to hunt foxes\, cats\, and\, in some cases\, wolves. The prey’s fur provides the Kazakhs with warm clothing in the harsh\, but beautiful\, Mongolian winter.\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Takhi Irises blooming amidst sand dunes\, Mongolia.\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Mongolia Töv Province\, shaman fire ritual\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Mongolia \,  Kazakh eagle hunter\, Mr. Sailau\, Bayan-Ölgii Province\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Children race horses across the steppe in northern Mongolia; a child’s light weight allows the horse to run at maximum speed. The annual race is part of the much anticipated Naadam Festival\, which features other events such as archery and wrestling.\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Bactrian camel (Camelus bactrianus)\, Great Gobi Protected Area\, Mongolia\nCanon EOS-1N\nCanon 70-200mm lens\nJune 1998\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Desert flora\, Gobi Gurvansaikhan National Park\, Gobi Desert\, Mongolia\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Przewalski’s wild horses or Takhi\, Gorkhi-Terelj National Park\, Mongolia\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Nomad family\, Gobi Altai Province\, Mongolia\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Mongolia\, Khovd Province\, Gurban Tsenkher limestone cave \, Paleolithic petroglyphs\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Mongolia \, Kazakh archers\, Bayan-Ölgii Province\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Buddhist monks\, Gandantegchinlen Monastery\, Ulaanbaatar\, Mongolia\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Mongolia Töv Province\, shaman fire ritual\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Mongolia \, Kazakh archers\, Bayan-Ölgii Province\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Mongolia\, Khovd Province\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Mongolia \, Mongolia\, Naadam games\, Khovd Province\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Mongolia \, Mongolia\, Naadam games\, Khovd Province\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Mongolia \, Kazakh eagle hunter\, Mr. Sailau\, Bayan-Ölgii Province\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Mongolia \, Kazakh wedding\, Bayan-Ölgii Province\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Mongolia \, Kazakh wedding\, Bayan-Ölgii Province\n				\n		\n\nKnown for its arid steppes\, skilled nomadic horsemen and Genghis Khan\, a visit to Mongolia feels like a trip back in time. At the annual Naadam Festival\, contestants vie to be the victor in the centuries-old pursuits of wrestling\, archery and horse-racing. \nA landlocked nation comparable in size to Alaska\, Mongolia is home to just around three million people\, making it one of the most sparsely populated countries on the planet. \nOn this amazing adventure Art Wolfe will guide the group to photograph prehistoric wild horses as they roam the steppe\, ride in the mountains with a Kazakh tribesman who hunt with golden eagles and has set up a special photo shoot with some of the local shaman. \n  \nReserve Your Spot Today \n\n \nLed by Art Wolfe\nAssisted by Gavriel Jecan\nLimited to 8 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 Ulaanbaatar.

People will dress up in their best attire as entire communities gather. Nomads have trained their horses for 21 days for speeds of up until 20 miles per hour in full gallop. The children\, aged 4 to 12 years old are the jockeys.\nOvernight at Hovd. (B\,L\,D) \nJuly 12 HOVD\n\nHovd is a small multi-ethnic town of Halkh Mongols\, Myangad Mongols\, and Kazakhs. It has both Buddhist temples and a mosque as well as an interesting local museum. There are markets here to explore as well. As Hovd is the provincial capital\, Naadam competitors from the entire province gather here. Some wrestlers and horse trainers will have come all the way from the Dzungarian Gobi\, on the China-Xinjiang border. The games in Hovd may also include archery\, as the Uriankhai ethnic group are keen archers. (B\,L\,D) \nJuly 13 HUI DOLOON HUDAG VIA ULAANBAATAR\n\nEarly in the morning we will drive to the airport for the domestic flight to Ulaanbaatar. After arrival at the airport the group will depart Ulaanbatar traveling west and drive to Hui Doloon Hudag\, the grasslands outside the city where the Naadam horse races take place. The Naadam games continue with wrestling and horse racing. (B\,L\,D) \nJuly 14 HUSTAI NATIONAL PARK\n\nThe group will explore the Hustai National Park with the assistance of  a park biologist who will provide guidance for the best possible wildlife sightings. Since it is the warm summer period we expect the Przrewalskii Horses will descend from the mountains to drink in the evening. (B\,L\,D) \nJuly 15 ULAANBAATAR\n\nWe will start off the day with a morning visit to the community groups who inhabit the fringes of Hustai with their livestock.

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.

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.

Art Wolfe will host a special gathering at his home the evening before the seminar from 6-9pm. Hors d’oeuvres and  beverages will be provided. Art will also provide a very special private presentation to the group this evening! It will likely be a brand new presentation that is centered around his recent projects. \nDay 2 Saturday\, Sept 4\nWe will begin our day with a series of inspirational lectures that Art has put together specifically for this workshop and location. He will take breaks throughout the morning\, and we will have coffee and pastries available. \n\n9:00am-12:00pm Art Wolfe Inspirational Lectures\n\nFollowing that the group will break for lunch. There are a number of options right across the street from the hotel. \n\n1:00pm-5:00pm Afternoon Field Session Bellevue Botanical Gardens\n\nFollowing lunch the group will meet up for the afternoon field session at a designated located in the Bellevue Botanical Gardens. \nArt and his two guides will be providing instruction to the group while in the field at the Bellevue Botanical Gardens where you can photograph a variety of abstract images in a beautiful garden with a large variety of plant species. They have water features and a Japanese style garden with beautifully maintained gravel trails\, and no elevation gain. So no need to worry there will be no strenuous hiking. We will spend the afternoon photographing until the group confirms they have had their fill. \nYou will bring what you photograph to Sunday’s session for Art to critique. \nDay 3 Sunday\, Sept 5\nJust in case you didn’t have enough time in the field on the previous day\, Art has decided to start the critique a little later in the day so that you have more chances to photograph and/or to work on your photos for the critique session. \n\n9:00am – 11:00am Field Session Kelsey Creek Park or Alternate Location (TBD)\n\nThose who want to have another opportunity to photograph in the field can join Libby Pfeiffer at the Kelsey Creek Park this morning for another field session.

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. You are requested to arrive by Sept 10th so that the entire group can convene on Sept 11th for departure.\nWe will provide hotel information for where the group will be staying. You will need to reach out to the hotel directly to secure your room reservation. You are not required to stay at the suggested lodge\, as there are other options nearby.\n\nActivity Level\nThe activity level for this workshop is minimal as our field excursions will all take place on boats. You will have to be able to get yourself on and off a boat. \nItinerary\nShooting schedules have the ability to be altered to effectively cater to the photographic desires of the group\, as well as to adapt to changeable weather conditions. \nDay 1 Sept 10th\n\nMeet and greet with Art and the rest of the participants 6pm for a no host dinner at restaurant in Prince Rupert. Everyone can introduce themselves\, and prepare for the departure the following day.\n\nDay 2 Sept 11th\n\nDepart Early AM for Khutzeymateen Wilderness Lodge by water taxi\nCabin assignments and settling in to lodge\nFirst field outing will take place once everyone has put their luggage away and is ready to depart.\n\nDay 3-5 Sept 12-14th\nWe are out bear viewing and exploring twice a day for three hours each tour.  Our tour boat is designed to view bears quietly in shallow water throughout the inlet’s extensive sedge flats and estuary\, starting directly across from our lodge. 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.

As the seasons shift and summer crowds fade\, we’ll venture into quiet valleys\, steaming basins\, and dramatic mountain vistas to capture the essence of autumn in the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem. \nThis fall photography retreat is designed to be both creatively inspiring and deeply educational. Through a combination of focused classroom instruction\, constructive critique sessions\, and guided field excursions\, participants will refine both their technical skills and artistic vision. Classroom time will explore composition\, storytelling\, and the use of light in landscape and wildlife photography\, while critiques provide a supportive environment for reviewing images and discovering new approaches to capturing the natural world. \nOur field sessions will take us through the spectacular autumn landscapes of Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone National Park\, where golden foliage\, winding rivers\, and dramatic mountain backdrops create endless photographic opportunities. Wildlife sightings can add an exciting dimension to the experience\, and photographers often encounter bison moving through misty valleys\, moose feeding along quiet waterways\, and occasionally even bears. Combined with the region’s striking geothermal features and glowing fall colors\, these elements make the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem one of North America’s most rewarding destinations for photographers. \n  \nReserve Your Spot Today \n \nLed by Art Wolfe\nAssisted by Gavriel Jecan\nLimited to 10 Participants\n Minimal hiking involved\n  \nTransportation and Accommodation\n\nParticipants are responsible for their own transportation\, lodging and meals. \nWe will provide hotel information for where the group will be staying.

Based in Port Angeles\, this small-group experience is designed to offer a more intimate and focused environment\, limited to just 10 participants. \nWe will focus on the art of photographing complex rain-forests\, cascading waterfalls\, sea stacks and long exposures along with various flora and fauna. Fall is one of the most beautiful  times to capture this gorgeous part of the country with vibrant fall color surrounding you. \nThis photography retreat is much more than a typical workshop. Sure\, we’ll visit some exciting locations\, but more importantly\, we take a deeper dive into the art of photography. This retreat will focus on artistry and creativity in both the camera and in the digital darkroom. We’ll explore more advanced techniques in both capture and post processing for creating final artwork. \nWith personalized instruction from Art and Libby\, participants will dive deep into creative seeing\, composition\, and developing their photographic voice. Whether you’re capturing the texture of ancient bark\, the dance of light across mossy stones\, or the motion of rushing water\, this retreat invites you to slow down and truly see. \nAt its core\, this retreat is a deeply immersive photographic experience\, one that unfolds in the field\, in the moment\, and in the company of a small group of like-minded creatives. Days are spent chasing light and refining your vision\, while evenings bring everyone together over wonderful meals\, where stories are shared\, connections are formed\, and lasting friendships take root. It’s a rare blend of creative growth and genuine camaraderie\, an experience that not only elevates your photography\, but quietly transforms the way you see the world. \n**One of our guides\, Libby Pfeiffer\, is Wilderness First Responder Certified\, per recent national park regulations.** \nEarly Bird Special Offered Through Aug 31st!  \nReserve Your Spot Today \nLed by Art Wolfe\nAssisted by Libby Pfeiffer\nLimited to 10 Participants\n Minimal hiking involved\n  \nTransportation and Accommodation\n\nParticipants are responsible for their own transportation\, lodging and meals. \nWe will provide hotel information for where the group will be staying.

This photography adventure is designed to place you in the heart of it all\, from the iconic spires of Torres del Paine to the shimmering glacial landscapes of Argentina. Timed to coincide with Patagonia’s autumn\, the region comes alive with rich seasonal color\, golden lenga forests\, fiery shrubs\, and soft\, warm tones that add depth and contrast to an already dramatic landscape. With expert guidance and carefully planned timing\, you’ll be in position to capture it all\, sunrises that ignite the mountains\, dynamic weather sweeping across the steppe\, and fleeting moments of wildlife set against vast\, cinematic backdrops. \nOver the course of this immersive journey\, we focus on both grand landscapes and intimate natural details. Spend multiple days exploring Torres del Paine’s waterfalls\, glacial lakes\, and sculpted peaks\, with opportunities to photograph a variety of wildlife including guanaco\, Andean condors\, caracaras\, flamingos\, and foxes and\, with a bit of luck\, maybe even the elusive puma. Continue into Argentina to witness the awe-inspiring Perito Moreno Glacier and hike beneath the legendary towers of Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre. This is Patagonia at its most powerful\, an unforgettable experience for photographers seeking both adventure and portfolio defining images. \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                        LinkedInThis 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.

SUMMARY:Kyrgyzstan with Visionary Wild
DESCRIPTION:Traditional Kyryz herder crossing the Köl Suu River\, Kyrgyzstan.\n				\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Aerial of the North Engilchek Glacier\, Kyrgyzstan.\n				\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\nThis 17-day adventure explores the wild heart of the Tian Shan mountains—an immense landscape of glacier-carved valleys\, nomadic culture\, and soaring peaks that rise above 20\,000 feet. 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.
