Sunset Photo Safari is a Winner!

Had a great time! Colin was fantastic and really took the time to teach some tips and tricks with my gear. Please, if you get the chance, take this tour. Captured a few things we were not even looking for that turned into great photos.

Best Photography Class in Years

Verity_T, 25-08-2022

This was such an amazing experience for us. Tyler knew so much about Anchorage and Alaska as a whole. We were able to see some amazing views and a Beluga whale. Best photography lesson since college.

Fun and educational evening with a very knowledgable photographer.

Ben took us to places that we didn't know anything about as tourists. He lent me a tripod and suggested different options for photographing the River and setting up the walk to a overlook for a beautiful sunset and stayed for the after glow. Then we went to a place for an iconic overview of the city. Next time we are in Anchorage we will try and book another session with Ben.

Best photo trek in Anchorage

Escape06200609891, 01-08-2022

Our sunset photo trek was awesome. Tyler was our guide and he was extremely knowledgeable about photography, the Anchorage area, and showing us a good time in Alaska. We saw moose, waterfalls, and beautiful scenery. Despite not seeing a sunset, our photo trek was everything we hoped for and then some. Even though I’m a seasoned photographer myself, Tyler helped me with some camera issues and made composition suggestions that were very useful for the different places we visited. All in all I would highly recommend this tour group yo anyone.

Great photos even in the rain

Carl knows a LOT about Alaska and photography. It rained the whole time but we were still able to take great pictures. "Sunset" was at 12:30 a.m. which was pretty awesome. Fun experience.
