Ride along in our luxurious Jeep Grand Wagoneer. Triple sunroofs allow all to witness the magic in warmth and style. Four wheel drive helps to keep us on the road.

About Us

My dream of becoming a professional wildlife photographer began in front of my tv watching Wild Kingdom. Does anyone remember that show? I was about six years old. It was either Lawrence Welk, Hee Haw or Wild Kingdom. For me the choice was easy. Bring on the beasts!!

I've spent the last eight years taking about fifteen hundred guests a year into the wild. When we come out I have guests shooting with confidence. Ignited with a refreshed passion for nature and eager to improve on capturing its magic. That's why I do this. Photography saved my life, and I get to see it make positive changes in my clients. I absolutely love that!!

- Todd Whetstine

* The Experience You Were Looking for:

As a professional nature photographer Todd Whetstine has been guiding photo workshops for the last two decades. He has an incredible gift to teach and absolutely loves doing so. No matter your skill level you'll love our teaching style.

In addition to becoming a better photographer, you'll also learn about our wildlife and Alaskan history.

Expect to have a great time of learning filled with laughter.

* Top Wildlife Photography Tours in Alaska

The subject is not the beautiful sky, snow streaked mountains, eagle, or the brilliant reflection. THE SUBJECT IS ALWAYS THE LIGHT.

You'll learn how your camera sees light. You'll learn how to paint with that light enabling you to capture your own unique creation.

Camera settings, composition and our secret tips and tricks will be explained. Cell phone cameras and DSLR's are all welcome! Our program is well polished. We've taught over ten thousand clients. NO ONE ever gets left behind.

Cancellation Policy

We don't want this to feel like a hostage situation. We won't force you to endure bad weather or unsafe road conditions. If you have a medical condition we understand. However if conditions are good and no medical condition exists... please understand you had reserved a seat in our vehicle. We take very small groups and a last minute cancelation hurts us as a small season businesses.

Our goal is to deliver a five star experience from the booking to the drop-off. If we feel for any reason we won't be able to deliver you'll receive full refunds.

Fairbanks Full Day Photo Workshop

The best thing about private workshops? We cater to YOUR individual or group needs. The sky is the limit. What do you like to photograph? Landscapes, birds, wildlife or wildflowers? We have a little bit of everything. Do you want to hike? Take a drive? Sit in a duck blind? Take a ride in a UTV? Do you need our airport pickup service? If you've ever wanted to get off the "auto mode" on your camera now is the time. If you're just getting started on your Alaska journey that's even better! We'll ensure you leave with a top notch portfolio of your entire trip of a lifetime. I also shoot and share photos of you and your group along the way. Our ten hour workshop is even more customizable, We can split up our routine hike/drive/sit in a duck blind or ride in a UTV. We have light snacks and drinks on all tours. The ten hour tour stops for lunch or on occasions gets a picnic basket packed by Tina... if we're lucky enough! Either way there will be good food! We pick you up at your lodging place and quickly get you into the wild. Our destination will depend on weather and what you like to photograph. After the tour we'll take you back to airport, train station or lodge. Our airport pickup service greatly limits exposure to other travelers and eliminates waiting for taxis or Ubers. We'll be waiting on YOU! This journey starts with a free phone call or video conference. (907)799-7876
