Find Your Next Photography Trip

I would travel again with Kevin in a heartbeat. His patience is second to none. He creates endless opportunities to capture photographs others can only dream about and in doing so, I walked away with the most memorable experience and portfolio to share.

My first photography workshop was with Kevin Pepper in 2014; Nova Scotia. I knew I made a good decision when he rescued a very expensive lens that I let roll out of my camera bag into a puddle of water at Peggy’s Cove. Kevin’s patience, a great sense of humour and excellent technical and composition tips made for me, an inexperienced landscape photographer at the time, a memorable workshop. Since then, it’s been workshops in Newfoundland, the Yukon twice, Mongolia, Namibia and Paris; all with Kevin. His knowledge of these and other locations and with his local contacts, means a key understanding of the best locations and also the ability to make quick changes due to weather or other conditions. Logistics with regard to accommodation and meals have never disappointed; even a last-minute birthday cake when it came up it was a client’s birthday on a particular day, demonstrates his level of care.

Akari is exceptional at creating an amazing travel experience along with a photography experience. Kevin is truly professional along with being kind and fun.

I get more individual attention from Akari than any other photo tour company I've been with.

I highly recommend the Southeast Alaska tour for anyone interested in a relaxing, enjoyable, and highly productive nature and wildlife tour. The photo opportunities are varied and present throughout the day. In between photographing a great variety of wildlife, as you motor from anchorage to anchorage you have the opportunity to photography amazing and changing landscape from snow capped mountain to icebergs. My favorite Akari tour of the 5 taken so far.

The Mongolia photography tour with Akari Photo Tours was unforgettable. Kevin’s guidance and Zayaa’s warmth and organization made every moment seamless. From camel herders to Kazakh eagle hunters, archers, and surprise cultural sessions, the photographic opportunities were incredible. Staying in gers and local accommodations added authenticity, and the hospitality of local families—sharing salt tea, dried curds, and Airag—made the experience even richer. I came home with stunning images and memories I will treasure forever
