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                        \n                            Wait list form\n                            The event you are interested in is sold out.

SUMMARY:Mongolia Photo Journey: Eagle Hunters\, Naadam Games\, and Shamans 2026
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. \nReserve Your Spot Today \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.

SUMMARY:Mount Rainier Photography Workshop 2026

Known for its dramatic landscapes and fleeting summer blooms\, Mount Rainier offers a variety of opportunities for photographers of all skill levels. \nTimed to coincide with the peak of the wildflower season\, this workshop will guide you through alpine meadows bursting with color—vibrant lupine\, paintbrush\, and avalanche lilies creating dreamlike compositions beneath the towering peak of Rainier. Early risers will be rewarded with a serene sunrise session\, where the mountain glows with soft pastels and golden light spills across the valleys. \nThroughout the workshop\, we’ll explore iconic waterfalls\, forested trails\, and hidden vantage points\, with opportunities to capture the mood and majesty of this Pacific Northwest gem. Wildlife sightings are always a possibility—keep your lens ready for marmots\, deer\, and perhaps even a fox crossing the trail. \nWith Art’s expert guidance\, you’ll refine your creative vision\, improve your technical skills\, and come away with a deeper appreciation for photographing nature in all its fleeting beauty. Whether you’re looking to build your portfolio or simply reconnect with the natural world through your camera\, this workshop promises inspiration at every turn. \n\n\nAlso\, we have a permit to conduct this workshop in the National Park. This means we do not have to worry about the timed entry system that has been set up.

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  \nReserve Your Spot Today \nLed by Art Wolfe\nAssisted by Gavriel Jecan\nLimited to 10 participants\nTransportation and Accommodation\nMeals\, lodging\, and transportation specified on the itinerary are included.
