ONE SPOT LEFT!

Join Viktoria Haack Photography in British Columbia’s Discovery Islands for one of the most intense wildlife spectacles on the coast.

Hundreds of bald eagles gather as powerful tidal currents push fish to the surface. The result is fast action, dramatic dives, mid-air battles and eagles grabbing fish just metres from the boat.

When the tides settle, we turn our attention to the other wildlife that calls this coast home, including whales, sea lions, otters, bears and seabirds.

This small-group workshop runs June 1–5, 2027, and only one place remains.

Take the final spot and experience the Bald Eagle Show with Viktoria.

Photograph hundreds of bald eagles in a chaotic feeding frenzy in British Columbia, plus whales and coastal wildlife, with expert guides and a luxury waterfront lodge.

Learn why we think Namibia is one of the best photography destinations in the world.

Namibia is one of those rare places that seems built for photographers. From towering dunes and desert wildlife to Himba culture, ghost towns, and some of the darkest skies on Earth, it keeps drawing us back year after year.

Some places don't look real.

The Icelandic Highlands are one of them.

Imagine flying over colorful rhyolite mountains, steaming geothermal valleys, black lava fields, emerald crater lakes, and rivers that twist across volcanic sand like works of art.

Many of these locations are difficult to appreciate from the ground.

From the air, everything changes.

With custom 4x4 vehicles taking us deep into the Highlands, we'll spend our days exploring places that most visitors never reach.

Bring extra batteries.

You're going to need them.

Most drone pilots know how to fly.

Very few know how to see.

On our Iceland Highlands by Drone workshop, you'll learn how to turn ordinary aerial views into images with impact. We'll teach you how to recognize patterns, use leading lines, simplify compositions, and make the most of Iceland's incredible textures from above.

We'll be there beside you, helping with camera settings, flight planning, composition, and reviewing your images throughout the trip.

The goal isn't just to fly your drone.

It's to come home creating images you're proud to print.

📍 Braided rivers
📍 Volcanoes
📍 Waterfalls
📍 Crater lakes
📍 Geothermal landscapes

This is Iceland from a perspective few photographers ever experience.

Southern Utah is an incredible place to fly and photograph—but what really makes this workshop special is the teaching.

You’ll get hands-on guidance in the field, personalized feedback, and practical techniques you can use long after the trip—all at a very accessible price point.

If you’ve been wanting to learn drone photography without breaking the bank, this is a great place to start.

Fairbanks in March is a strong time for aurora photography. Akari’s winter workshop is built around far-north skies, snowy foregrounds, and small-group instruction, with logistics handled so guests can stay focused on making images instead of chasing conditions on their own.
