Photo Safari in Ketchikan, Alaska. Spend 3 hrs "off the tourist beaten path".

Overview

We help you take iconic photographs of several locations in the Ketchikan area, including historical, cultural and nature attractions. We offer advanced and basic photographic instruction for cell phone, poin'n'shoot & DSLR camera users. We conduct our tours over a set route of 7 or 8 different locations with each location offering unique photo opportunities AND teaching opportunities. Although a majority of my photography instruction is equally applicable to BOTH cell phones, point’n'shoots and DSLR cameras, some of my instruction is specific to DSLR users.

Photo techniques taught for BOTH DSLR & cell phone & point’n’shoots include: composition, subject identity, subject proximity, subject balance, exposure, cropping, angle of approach, light compensation, macro photography...

We look forward to serving you soon.

Despite it being a foggy soggy morning Felix was waiting for us as we got off our cruise ship. Off we went to explore Ketchikan and along the way learn the history of this beautiful town! Felix was inspirational with his passion for the town he now calls home and his knowledge of photography was outstanding. He is very friendly and showed us the best angles for photos and helped with settings when needed. A lovely surprise was real coffee and home made cookies he picked up along the way so we could have them at the beach! I do lots of photo tours all over the world ... this was the best I have done! Well done .. the weather even cleared to allow up to get some great photos at lots of different locations! Well done and a big thank you for a great tour!! 😊😊
