    Experience Wild Alaska Through Your Lens

    Small-group photography adventures with professional wildlife photographer and longtime Alaskan Ron Niebrugge.

    Imagine photographing a brown bear cub playing with its mother, watching humpback whales feeding against a backdrop of snowcapped mountains, or capturing the power of a massive coastal brown bear catching salmon.

    These are the moments that make Alaska extraordinary.

    Join me for an unforgettable photography adventure to some of my favorite wildlife destinations in Alaska. From the lush coastal meadows of Lake Clark National Park to the rugged shores of Katmai and the spectacular fjords of Southeast Alaska, each tour has been carefully planned to take advantage of exceptional wildlife photography opportunities.

    With small groups, comfortable accommodations, and years of local experience, we can concentrate on what matters most — being in the right place at the right time when something amazing happens.

    Small Groups, Big experience

    I intentionally keep my groups small. That means more room to photograph, individual attention when you want it, and a more personal experience.

    These aren't places I've chosen from a travel brochure. They're locations I've photographed extensively, during seasons I've found to offer exceptional opportunities.
