Photography Program
The Photography Program is a unique opportunity for photographers to capture the beauty of Antarctica and its wildlife while cruising on an expedition ship. The program is designed to provide photographers with the skills, knowledge, and assistance with guidance from our appointed polar photography experts.
Our dedicated onboard professional Photographer Guide (1 per 10 guests) will lead workshops and provide instructions to help participants develop their technical skills and artistic vision for the duration of the voyage.
The program will focus on capturing images of the landscape and wildlife of Antarctica. Participants will have the opportunity to photograph icebergs, glaciers, penguins, seals, whales, and other wildlife with the guidance of the dedicated photography guide to capture the best possible shot of their subject (however, please note, no specific wildlife is guaranteed as per any landing and zodiac cruise activity).
Participants will have the chance to move in smaller groups and to disembark for zodiac cruises and landing as a first group to maximize the chance of capturing the best possible shots.
The Photography Program in Antarctica onboard our expedition ship is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for photographers. It provides the opportunity to capture stunning imagery of one of the most beautiful and remote places on earth while developing technical skills.
