Professional Wildlife Photographer Matt Shetzer Leads All Our Workshops and Tours.
Sometimes you’ve got to get a little wet to get the image you want. Matt in Iceland
In 2011 I started hosting photography workshops in some of my favorite places in the world. I wanted to work closely with the guests, and host small groups as I believe there is less impact to wildlife, and the guests enjoy the small group atmosphere as there is less competition for the best spots. Every year we have added a couple more trips to great responses.

Being an avid outdoorsman, I enjoy being outside on a backcountry trail, exploring a remote location and watching wildlife through the lens – always searching for that perfect picture that tells a story. Bird photography has become a passion of mine. While I find the subjects very challenging, the images are so rewarding. I also always look forward to my time photographing grizzly bears in the Alaskan back country.
Currently I am shooting the latest Nikon DSLR’s, as well as the Sony mirrorless system. I am experienced with other systems from Canon, Pentax, Olympus and large format cameras. I welcome all camera brands on our trips and with exposure to so many different systems, I can provide instruction on getting the most out of your camera for your style of photography.
My images have been selected to appear in Outdoor Photographer, National Audubon Society, Nature Photographer, Alaska Magazine, Popular Photography, People, Better Homes and Gardens, Family Circle, Parents and many more. I’ve also published a 78-page photo book “North American Bald Eagles of Haines, Alaska.”
I look forward to meeting you and sharing my unique knowledge of image capture and processing to help you improve your photography skills and capture that perfect photo.
