About the Alaska Arctic Photo Tour

Alaska in general is an addictive region for many travel enthusiasts and the arctic seems that way even more so. Many participants have returned for three tours, and some for even four! This trip is all inclusive, you land in Fairbanks and put your wallet away, save for personal gift items or an excursion option outside of our described itinerary. We cover a lot of ground on this journey and the photography is diverse. From a variety of arctic wildlife and landscapes to the northern lights and polar bears. Hugh and I have traveled and photographed all over the state, and if you choose to join us, we gladly share our experience and insight about Alaska and photography.

Hugh Rose

Hugh

Hugh Rose has photographed and lived in northern climates most of his life with the latter part of it in Alaska. Compelled by Alaska's natural beauty, he left a 10-year career in geology to explore and photograph the vast landscapes and wildlife of the north. Both nature and a camera have intrigued Hugh since childhood and he continues to explore and interpret the world's natural beauty through his photographs. As part of his photography business Hugh sells Fine Alaskan Photographic prints at art galleries throughout Alaska and from his home in Fairbanks.

As a photographer Hugh has spent a significant part of his career photographing in the arctic and feels that this environment offers some of the most incredible raw beauty in North America. His photographs have appeared in Sierra Club Calendars, NorthernLight Calendars, Denali Wilderness Calendars, National Trade Magazines, Frommer's Travel Guide, Alaska Airlines Magazine, Outdoor Life, BBC, National Wildlife Federation, and numerous other publications

His genuine love and enthusiasm for the natural world combined with many years of traveling Alaska's interior, arctic and coastal regions have given him a strong knowledge of the varied aspects of photographing in Alaska's ever-changing wilderness surroundings.

Patrick holds a bachelor of arts in Theology and lives in Fairbanks, Alaska where he works professionally as a freelance photographer. His photographs have appeared in the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History, USA Today, Backpacker, Natural History Magazine, National Geographic Adventurer, National Wildlife Magazine, Outside, National Parks Magazine, Alaska Magazine, Audubon and Sierra Club Calendars and many other books and publications.
