Alaska Photo Treks is a Fairbanks, AK–based photographic tour company specializing in wildlife, aurora, landscape, and drone photography experiences across southcentral and arctic Alaska.
The company offers guided photo tours and multi-day workshops tailored to all skill levels, from casual travelers to experienced photographers. Trip options include private and group safaris, seasonal moose and aurora excursions, drone-focused shoots, half-day and full-day scenic transfers, and extended workshops in remote regions such as the Brooks Range.
Tours are led by local experts and professional photographers who provide hands-on instruction, personalized coaching, and location scouting to help guests capture compelling images in Alaska’s unique environments. Several experiences emphasize practical support: photography tips in the field, customized shooting strategies, and assistance with camera settings, composition, and lighting. Evening and nocturnal itineraries include northern lights forecasting and portrait techniques under the aurora.
Logistics are managed to maximize photographic opportunities. Small group sizes, private bookings, and site selection prioritize safety, wildlife ethics, and minimal crowding while accessing vistas, coastal inlets, mountain passes, and tundra habitats. Seasonal timing—from autumn moose rut to winter snow compositions and aurora season—aligns trip plans with peak photographic conditions.
