Photography is difficult. We make it easier.

At Aptura Photography, we’ve spent the years it takes to read the manuals, watch the YouTube™ videos, get some great shots, and most importantly, make plenty of mistakes. We have photographed in the harshest environments and planned for some of the most complex adventures. All in the hopes of having amazing experiences and images that express the awe we felt at the time.

We can’t do the leg work for anyone, but we can help you with the right information and skills to take out into the field and create the photos you imagine!

What We Offer

Photography Coaching

Call it a coach or a mentor, having someone to speed the process and get you on the right path is invaluable in any practice. We cover the full spectrum from composition, technical skills, wildlife and field craft, as well as what to do after you get the shots. We offer several different durations for everyone’s path and budget.

Photography Travel Planning

Each location is different - different weather concerns, shooting conditions, challenges, photographic styles and skills, not to mention planning the actual travel portion. As photographers, we have added concerns when it comes to protecting our gear and ourselves in remote/rugged destinations, traveling with large and expensive luggage, and making sure we bring everything we’ll need (but no more). We can’t say we can think of everything - but we’ve definitely seen a lot.

Tours / Workshops

The best way to get better at anything is to go out and do it. But the only thing worse than not practicing, is practicing the wrong way. Join one of our 1:1 tours to have the opportunity to shoot in a low-stress environment with someone that can guide you. Our workshops focus on specific photographic methods, skills, species, or environments.
