ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP

This unique workshop is dedicated to photographing the magnificent Wolves and Brown Bears of Northern Finland in a fiery Autumn / early Winter setting. After much research and highly successful on-site location testing, I am very excited to offer you the opportunity to get up close and personal with these magnificent predators. On this workshop, you will have EXCLUSIVE LAND ACCESS, which means it’s only us and the wildlife. No other photographers or visitors are permitted.

We will be photographing in late Autumn / early Winter conditions: We can expect everything from sunny days to clouds, fog, and even the first snows of winter. This variety of weather, landscape, and lighting conditions will provide you with the opportunity to create a diverse, creative and professional portfolio of these predators.

During this workshop, we will likely also encounter and photograph Brown Bears, White-tailed eagles, Golden Eagles, and other northern species that frequent this area. We will adapt to optimize photographic opportunities as they present themselves.

We will photograph almost exclusively from hides as these animals are extremely shy and elusive. Each hide has everything you need to spend hours (even overnight) in the field. We will have several different hides from which to choose, with various viewing angles.

This exclusive workshop is for a strictly limited number of just 6 participants plus a leader and is dedicated to photography of the Wolves and Bears of Finland.

If you are excited about travelling to the far north of Finland with a small group of dedicated photographers to photograph some of the least photographed species in Scandinavia, now is the time to secure your place. Places are very limited, and once they are spoken for, that’s it.
