Lens of Wonder | Private Wildlife Photography Workshop (2.5 hours)

Learn to photograph Sitka’s wildlife in this small group, hands on photography class on the water. Led by award winning filmmaker Ben Hamilton, you’ll explore Sitka Sound by boat, searching for whales, otters, puffins, and eagles while learning how to see and compose like a pro. A comfortable, heated cabin keeps you dry and warm as conditions change, so you can focus on the experience.

Whether you’re shooting on an iPhone or professional camera, Ben tailors instruction to your experience, sharing techniques for light, motion, and wildlife behavior. With a limited group size of six, there’s time to slow down, ask questions, and practice what you learn in real conditions. This experience combines the excitement of a wildlife tour with the creativity of a photography workshop — perfect for travelers who want to see Sitka differently.
