We will begin (or end) these half day photography icewalk or snowshoe tours by photographing sunrise (or sunset) near our chosen trailhead.
These snowshoe or ice walk photo adventures with your camera will allow you to experience nature in winter up-close as we are immersed in our surroundings. There will be a unique destination or two on each adventure that isn’t commonly photographed, especially at this time of year!
The chosen trails are easy, safe and enjoyable with a low-moderate level of fitness required. We will not be active the whole time, lots of stops for photos and sightseeing will be incorporated along with hot drinks. No experience on snowshoes or with ice cleats necessary!
These photo adventures are offered between November and April.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING

Some testimonials from past guests:

– “Nick is incredibly knowledgeable about both photography and the surroundings we’re shooting in, which helped me connect more with the landscape. I learned so much in just a few days. He works with you and the style you like to shoot in and gives you tips and composition ideas. He ensured everyone in the workshop was safe and comfortable as well. I hope to do another workshop with Nick again!” – Ti-An

– “Spending a few days with Nick in the Banff area were days well spent! We loved Nick’s patience and knowledge, never once making us feel inadequate, whether it was with our cameras or our physical ability to go places. His gentle reminders about technical use of our gear, and pointing out amazing compositions were all appreciated. Nick is not just knowledgeable about photography, but we also learned so much about the area, the geography and history. Within hours of meeting Nick, I felt safe, as if my own son was taking me on a vacation. I would not hesitate to book another tour with Nick and take my love of photography and the outdoors even further” – Sheryl
