Impressions from Alaska, July 2026

Photos by Frans Lanting and trip participants Chris Saso, Tony Hoffman, Chris O’Halloran and Shenwei Liu

We recently returned from Alaska where we took a small group to photograph brown bears up close and personal. We made a similar journey last summer, and it was one of the most rewarding wildlife experiences we’ve had in many years.

Here are some of my favorite images created by our participants and a few of my own. We hope you like them.

We are planning to return with another small group in 2027. Contact us for details and check out our events page for more information on upcoming travel, workshops and online courses. You may also sign up for our mailing list to receive event information by email.

There is only one place in the world where pumas, aka mountain lions, have become habituated to the point that it is possible to track them on foot. In May I took a small group of photographers to Patagonia where we spent six days tracking these elusive cats, with two expert guides and Torres del Paine National Park as our backdrop.

Here are some of my favorite images created by our participants. We hope you like the results too!

We are planning to return with another small group in 2025. Contact us for details and check out our events page for more information on upcoming travel, workshops and online courses. You may also sign up for our mailing list to receive event information by email.
