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 5 to 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.

Pics of Eagles.

5.00Angela Ledyard was a very good guide and aware of the pics I wanted. She asked me what shots I might want near the beginning of the tour. Having returned to the harbour and almost given up hope of shooting an eagle in flight, she noticed what I hadn't, grabbed the coffee cup from me, allowing me to get the following shots. Full marks to Angela. (The Green Bean coffee was excellent by the way)

5.00We had the best time!!! This was our favorite excursion on our trip. Brock was fantastic, so friendly and knowledgeable. As a novice photographer, I learned several valuable tips. We learned a lot about Ketchikan and the surrounding area. We loved Potlatch Totem Park and were so happy to purchase authentic Alaskan made items and supporting a small family business. Highly recommend this activity!!! Hope I did you proud, Brock!! Some of my favorite photos was on this trip.

5.00We really enjoyed this excursion. Brock was great! Friendly, knowledgeable and provided a lot of insight as well as photo tips and his own experience of moving to Alaska. Also the small group, five people, made it that much more enjoyable. We definitely recommend this excursion.

5.00Kevin Vigneur was a delight. So informative and patient giving every participant attention and assistance. His photography knowledge and personality make him the perfect guide. I’d request a tour with him again if I ever return to Alaska.

5.00This was an excellent tour. Angela, our tour guide/driver was extradinary. She provided history of Ketchikan and was quick to spot bald eagles, whales, and harbor seals to us. She always stopped the van so we could go out and take pictures. Angela was very helpful with us in taking pictures with our cell phones. She taught us ways to improve our picture taking. About half way through the tour Angela provided us with coffee and water and a most delicious cookie. Overall this was an excellent tour made especially good because of Angela.
