Wild and Exposed Photo Tours

Alaska Marine WIldlife - July 2019

The opportunity for adventure in Alaska can be found on many fronts. Join the Wild and Exposed Hosts as they photograph Marine wildlife in the inside passage.  Fly to Anchorage and travel to Seward where you will experience the truly breathtaking beauty of Alaska and it's wildlife.  You will have the opportunity to photograph puffin, bald eagles, sea otters and with any luck porpoise, orca and humpback whales.  If time allows and with a bit of luck the guys will accompany you as they seek opportunities to photograph bears feasting on fresh salmon.  

Take advantage of the opportunity to learn and employ the fieldcraft that has led to each of the hosts successes as well as returning home with images that would improve any portfolio.  Don't just listen to it, LIVE IT with Michael, Mark and Ron in the wilds of Alaska this July.  Full details upon request.  

Newfoundland - October 2019

Mark Raycroft will lead this tour to one of the four corners of North America. Join him for an epic adventure from October 12-19, 2019 to embark on a week-long experience that will take you on an exploration along the rugged and strikingly beautiful coastline of this northern landscape.

We’ll experience two UNESCO World Heritage sites; view a fjord that will make you feel like you’re in a far off land, experience charming fishing villages and marvel at this way of life, walk on the earth’s mantle (one of only two places in the world where this is possible), and on top of that we’ll put boots on the ground where the Vikings first landed on this continent - be prepared to be awed and humbled by Newfoundland.

Photography objectives will include, but are not limited to, the incredible woodland caribou, as well as Moose.

Mark will not only guide you to the secret spots that he’s discovered over his many trips to this mesmerizing land, but will also teach about the animals that call it home, sharing his insights on how to best capture flattering images of them and this incredible landscape.

Brimming with a uniquely friendly culture, Newfoundland is a destination to behold!

Svalbard - Polar Bears - April/May 2021

Have you ever wanted to photograph polar bears at eye level?  Float along on an iceberg with a bearded seal?  Or have the opportunity to see the Unicorns of the sea, Narwhal, as they migrate back through the spring ice?  Do that and more with the Wild and Exposed Staff as we venture north to Svalbard Norway.  

Depart for 10 days of adventure in the Svalbard Archipelago in April of 2021.  The Wild and Exposed staff will provide instruction and opportunity as we explore this vast Arctic Ecosystem with Guide Svein Wik.  After arriving in Norway we will board our home for the next 10 days where we will seek opportunities with the wildlife that call Svalbard home.  Upon spotting photographic opportunities we will exit the ship onto zodiac rafts where we will chase the light and position ourselves to capture some truly stunning arctic images.  This trip is unique in that we will have the opportunity to photograph marine and terrestrial species including arctic fox, reindeer, and a variety of bird species.
