SMALL GROUP TOURS AND WORKSHOPS - We are one of the leading companies in the bird and wildlife photo tour arena.  We have been leading great photo tours and workshops since 2007. We lead dozens of small group tours and workshops throughout the US and the world every year.  On many of our tours we include excellent photo opportunities of both birds and mammals.  We strive for a great variety of subjects on our trips.  A lot of the trips we put together are unique in that no other photographers are offering the itineraries that we do.  On the group trips professional level photo instruction is included.  To see our list of offerings click on the links in the menu above or on the right.

PRIVATE TOURS AND WORKSHOPS - We 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.
