Private Tours

How do you get the best possible photographs?

You need to get to the right place under the best possible weather conditions at the right time. I can help make this happen. Whether we travel by helicopter, 4-wheel drive, foot, boat, ski or snowshoe, I will plan the routes and guide the journey and lead you to where the best shots happen.

As a professional photographer, I am also available to help you with every aspect of getting the best shot, from choosing the right gear (trip planning), to exploring compositions in the field, to selecting lenses and camera settings, and finally to post-processing in Lightroom and Photoshop.

Where would you like to start your journey? The Canadian Rockies, British Columbia, or the Yukon? The glorious Canadian wilderness awaits!

Group Workshops

Book yourself into one of my small group workshops for an exciting photography expedition! 

I have extensive experience and intimate local knowledge on the locations we will visit, plus I prepare thoroughly to understand contributing factors that go into great photographs, such as the time and location of the moonrise/set, prevailing weather patterns, aurora borealis behavior, Milky Way timing, dark skies locations, etc.

Check out the Tours link above and find a tour and dates that work for you! 

“Mark Vanderkam is the real deal. He is an outstanding photographer who has devoted himself to the Canadian landscape. On top of that, he is offering tours using his intimate knowledge of wilderness locations throughout his territory. I highly recommend Mark as a guide for any photographer looking to explore the Canadian wilderness.“

Your Canadian Adventure Awaits!

The Canadian Rockies are incredible. In fact, they are so incredible that UNESCO designated the mountain parks in the heart of the range as "a site of outstanding universal value" and a World Heritage site. UNESCO specifically raved about the area's "exceptional natural beauty", "habitats of rare and endangered species" and its "natural landforms such as mountain peaks, glaciers, lakes, canyons, limestone caves, and the unique Burgess Shale fossils." 

The same could be said for northern British Columbia and the Yukon territories, which are areas of unparalleled natural beauty and photographic potential.

This is your invitation to come out and experience and capture the magical interplay of the light, weather, flora, fauna, and dramatic mountain topography of the Canadian northwest. Experience the majesty of the Canadian wilderness!
