More Than a Photo Tour. A Guided Wildlife Experience.

At Chase the Light Adventures, our workshops are intentionally small, hands-on, and built around real wildlife encounters — not crowded bus tours.

Why Choose Chase the Light Adventures?

Small Groups. Real Access.

We keep our workshops intentionally small so you’re never competing for space, light, or instruction. More opportunity. Better images.

This isn’t a sightseeing tour. You’ll learn how to anticipate wildlife behavior, use light intentionally, and refine your technical skills in real-time.

From Yellowstone’s predator-rich valleys to Alaska’s coastal brown bears and Africa’s great migration, each adventure is built around peak wildlife moments.

Led by a Working Professional

Founded and led by wildlife photographer LeAnn Stamper, every trip combines artistic vision, logistical planning, and years of in-the-field experience.

FAQ

What skill level is required to join a workshop?

Our workshops are best suited for intermediate to advanced photographers who are comfortable operating their camera in manual or semi-manual modes. If you’re unsure whether a trip is right for you, reach out — we’re happy to guide you.

How many participants are on each trip?

We intentionally keep our groups small to maximize instruction and shooting opportunities. Most workshops range from 4–8 participants depending on the destination.

What camera gear should I bring?

A DSLR or mirrorless camera with a telephoto lens is recommended for wildlife-focused trips. After booking, you’ll receive a detailed gear guide tailored to your specific workshop.

Are lodging and meals included?

Inclusions vary by destination. Each workshop page clearly outlines what is included (lodging, meals, transportation, park fees, etc.) so there are no surprises.

What happens if wildlife is unpredictable?

Wildlife is never guaranteed — that’s part of the authenticity of photographing in the wild. However, trips are scheduled around peak seasons and led by an experienced guide who understands animal behavior and optimal shooting conditions.

What is your cancellation policy?

A deposit is required to reserve your spot. Cancellation terms are outlined on each workshop page. Travel insurance is strongly recommended to protect your investment.

Do you offer private tours or one-on-one instruction?

Yes. Private and custom photography adventures are available upon request. These are ideal for photographers who prefer personalized instruction or flexible scheduling.

How physically demanding are the trips?

Each workshop varies. Some involve early mornings and moderate walking, while others may include rugged terrain. Specific physical requirements are outlined on each trip page.

Spots are intentionally limited to keep groups small and experiences personal. If you’re ready to elevate your wildlife photography and experience iconic wild places the right way, your next adventure starts here.
