Expedition Photography

Curious polar bear, on pack ice off Baffin Island, Canada.

You’re off the coast of the Kuril Islands, and a low-flying Steller’s sea eagle is passing the ship, talons clutching a silver fish... fearless men are performing the dramatic firewalking ceremony on Fiji’s Beqa Island... a pod of gleaming killer whales are surfacing under the bow rail in the mirror-calm waters of the Lemaire Channel...

Because of our partnership with National Geographic, at moments like these you have a Lindblad-National Geographic certified photo instructor at your side and at your service. Our instructors have been specially trained to assist you with your camera model and settings, plus the basic elements of framing, composition, and light; and using your smartphone camera effectively. Best of all, because each is also an expert naturalist, they can provide tips on wildlife behaviour to help you anticipate and capture amazing moments. And depending on which ship of the LindbladNational Geographic fleet you’re on, you could find yourself shooting side-by-side with a top National Geographic photographer. They explore with us because of the remarkable wild regions we visit, and because they’re excited to share the expedition experience and their skills with photo enthusiasts of all levels. With you on deck and in field situations, they provide inspiration and advice, gleaned over the course of significant careers. They also offer informative onboard presentations, and supportive critiques.

Together our Lindblad-National Geographic certified photo instructors and acclaimed National Geographic photographers ensure that you return home with fantastic photos.
