Trogon Photo Tours

We plan and lead innovative nature photo tours and workshops to many of the most wildlife rich locations on earth.  We strive to plan and lead tours which have the best bird and wildlife photo opportunities at a reasonable price.  The founder Nate Chappell is an excellent birder but also loves to photograph mammals so on many of our tours we have a great combination of both.  Our tours and workshops are focused on photographing birds and animals in the wild and helping you become a better photographer.  Group size is small, anywhere from 2 to 10 participants per tour.  Participants will take home a lot of great images, memories and photographic knowledge from our trips. See links above or under Scheduled Workshops and Tours below.

PRIVATE TOURS AND WORKSHOPS - We can plan and lead great photography tours almost anywhere in North America, Latin America, South Africa, Thailand and other locations.  We partner with the best local photography guides all of whom Nate Chappell has met and worked with in the past.  We lead private workshops here in the US to help you improve whatever aspect of bird and widlife photography you want to work on.
