The Lightchasers Nature Photography Conference is Canada's only dedicated nature photography event and is held annually in Pincher Creek, Alberta. This year's event, happening May 22-24, is sold out for in-person attendance but there are still ways you can join in on the fun with their Digital Streaming Pass, Litechasers Lite ticket and Sunday Brand Expo!
The Lightchasers Digital Streaming Pass brings you all of the weekend presentations from some of the biggest names in nature photography, including Sandra Bartocha, Eric Bennett, Travis Layton, Follow Me North, Joe Desjardins, Jillian Brown and more. This pass gets you live access, as they happen, with further access to them for 2 years! The next best thing to being there is watching from the comfort of your own home and on your own schedule.

If you’ve still got an itch to be in the Pincher Creek area for the weekend of the event, then the new Lightchasers Lite ticket might be just what you’re looking for! Join renowned landscape photographer Adam Gibbs for an evening at the Fox Theatre on Saturday May 23rd, where he’ll be sharing some of his favourite stories and YouTube adventures on the big screen! This ticket also gets you access to our Sunday morning Brand Expo which, for the first time, will be open to the general public Sunday morning only!

Lastly, Lightchasers will be opening the Sunday Morning Brand Expo to the general public from 9-11am on May 24th for the low price of $10, paid at the door, at the Pincher Creek Community Hall! There’s no better opportunity to come and interact with all of your favourite camera brands and retailers - including Fujifilm, Nikon, Sony, Canon, OM System, Amplis, Tamron, Sigma, Kase Filters, McBain Camera, The Camera Store and more - ask questions and buy new gear. If you’re interested in getting deeper into photography but don’t know where to start, chatting directly with reps from each brand will help get you a leg up on what you’ll need to get started!
To be clear, Lightchasers Lite does NOT get you access to the conference itself or any of their main programming. But it does give folks an opportunity to come down to Pincher Creek for an evening of inspiration with Adam Gibbs, a chance to interact with the biggest camera brands in the world and the biggest retailers in the province at their Sunday morning Brand Expo, and to have a day or two to explore and photograph the area on your own terms and see why it's a world-class photography destination.
