May is a magical time to be in Glacier Bay National Park because we have it largely to ourselves— just the bears, the first returning humpback whales, and the thousands of migrating shore and seabirds bound for Arctic nesting sites. Both Glacier Bay and the Outer Coast are major stops on the Pacific Flyway. Against a backdrop of some of the most magnificent mountains on earth, rivers of glacial ice tumble into the sea and aquamarine colored icebergs drift by on the tides. Responding to the boom and crash of ice at the glacier front, Kittiwakes and Arctic terns swirl over the churning, welling waters in search of food. Western sandpipers and other shorebirds skitter along the shorelines, poking their bills into the food-rich mud and gravels of the intertidal zone.
In addition to our 2 Naturalists – Audrey Benedict and Kimber Owen we are thrilled to have International League of Conservation Photographers, Bob Rozinski and Wendy Shattil, lead this 10 day/10 night workshop aboard the M/V Sea Wolf.
Internationally recognized for their evocative images and for their many photographic contributions to conservation causes, Bob and Wendy have dedicated their careers to portraying not only the inherent beauty of the natural world but also the environmental dramas that threaten the fragile fabric of life.
In contrast to the traditional "how-to" workshop, this unique seminar is designed tohelp participants move to the next level, mastering the creative and technical skills required to make visual media a more powerful conservation tool in projects close to home or in the remotest corners of our changing world—wherever participants wish to be actively engaged in conservation work. In addition to learning about the natural history of Southeast Alaska, we'll explore and discuss the impacts that global warming is having on the region's glaciers, the threats facing marine and land-based wildlife, and the effects of marine pollution on animal and human life-ways. Most importantly, we'll learn how to shoot images that truly tell a story and have the strongest possible impact on the viewer. Workshop activities will emphasize image context, perspective, originality, composition, the use of light, and technical quality—honoring photographic integrity and the environment throughout the creative process.
