Find Your Next Photography Trip

What I love about Akari Photo Tours is I’ve gotten to go on unique photo tours that aren’t something everyone offers. They find the best local guides that provide not just fantastic photographic opportunities, but opportunities to get to know the culture and people of the area(s) visited. The “two Kevins” are some of my favorite people to photograph with, and I learn something each and every time,,, all while giving us a good laugh in the process!

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.

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.

Akari always provides numerous photo ops all day throughout the event. We sometimes went to a good place again to make sure we got the image. It shows that you care.

Excellent organization, deep professional knowledge, super choice of locations and Kevin could not have been more helpful or personable. Terrific workshop!!

I’ve learned more in 3 days than from every other photo workshop or class I’ve done.
