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 have gone on many photography workshops, and this was my first time with Akari. I will definitely go on other Akari tours. Top notch instruction, top notch scouting prior to the start of the workshop to know the animals' behaviors, territories, and best places to photograph them. Very attentive in the field to students' needs, fun, kind, and respectful of the various levels of knowledge and skill of the students in the group. With 3 leaders and 7 students, the quality of instruction and attention to detail was remarkable. And it was fun, what could be better!

Excellent trip to Spain to photograph the eclipse. Accommodations were terrific. This ended up being a great opportunity for me to practice travel and street photography in addition to adding some beautiful seascapes to my portfolio. Kevin and Eduardo did a great job planning the itinerary for the trip and getting us in position to successfully photograph the solar eclipse in the best positions possible. Bravo!

An excellent photo tour professionally run with exceptional local Mongolian contacts to ensure your trip is fully comfortable and you get all the photo opportunities as advertised with flexibile arrangements delivered.

I learned a lot on the Newfoundland trip. Kevin Lisota and Kevin Pepper are top notch teachers and great people.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Seabirds of Newfoundland Photo Workshop. The trip was very enjoyable, and I captured many wildlife photos that I will be able to use in my wildlife photography hobby/business. The tour exceeded my expectations for obtaining many quality photos of Puffins, and my photos of other seabirds and Humpback Whales are a great bonus!
