Photography Workshops

Why join a Sitka Wonders Photography Workshop?

Join a wildlife photography workshop that goes beyond technique — and into the heart of Alaska’s wild coast. Led by filmmaker Ben Hamilton, who has spent over sixteen years capturing Sitka’s whales, bears, and untamed beauty for National Geographic, BBC, and Smithsonian, this is your chance to learn from someone who knows these waters intimately.
‍
Each workshop is small, personal, and built around discovery. You’ll explore Sitka Sound by boat, learning to work with light, anticipate wildlife, and craft images that carry a sense of place. Whether you’re here for a few hours or a multi-day journey, you’ll leave with sharper skills, unforgettable photographs, and a deeper connection to the wild world you’ve captured.

Led by a Professional Wildlife Filmmaker

Led by Emmy Award–winning filmmaker Ben Hamilton, whose sixteen years of work for National Geographic, BBC, and Discovery have taken him across the globe and Alaska’s wild coast. His workshops go beyond camera settings—teaching you how to anticipate wildlife behavior, read light, and tell powerful stories through your lens.

Driven by Wonder

Everything we do begins with a sense of wonder—the spark that turns observation into understanding. Our tours invite you to slow down, look closer, and rediscover curiosity. In the stillness between moments, you’ll begin to see how Sitka’s wild rhythms connect all living things.

Travel that gives back

Your visit helps fund local conservation, research, and education initiatives that protect Sitka’s wildlife and community long after your trip ends.
