Testimonials

  • "Great experience and well worth my time (and my dollars). I attended the "Intro to Astro Photography Workshop" as part of the 2023 Jasper Dark Sky Festival. I found the two facilitators to be knowledgeable and experienced. Great information in a "lecture" to start with, followed by a "hands-on" session outdoors in the Jasper Dark Sky Preserve. Very well enjoyed. Definitely recommended."

    Stephen | Intro to Astro | 2023

  • "Basically he (Luuk) found a way to try out all the stuff that we learned in the classroom. He was well organized and had a plan for every weather possibility. We highly recommend his workshops - regardless of the weather. You’ll learn a lot, take a lot of photos and have a ton of fun.”

    Kristina | Intro to Astro | 2022

  • "Hanging out with Luuk is an experience that you want in your life. He is a professional and relatable guy and really great at finetuning the session to your experience level. I strongly recommend that you get yourself signed up for one/all of his tours.”

We acknowledge that Jasper National Park is located in Treaty 6 and 8, and the traditional lands of the Anishinabe, Aseniwuche Winewak, Dene-zaa, Nêhiyawak, Secweìpemc, Stoney Nakoda, Mountain Métis and Métis.

It is a privilege to explore and photograph these traditional, ancestral and rightful lands.

Skill Level

Our workshops are tailored to the skill level of the participants, from first-timers to seasoned professionals, and are suitable to anyone with a digital camera (DSLR or mirrorless) with manual control of shutter speed, aperture and ISO settings.

Physical Abilities

Generally speaking a photo tour will include roadside locations and short hikes (>3 KM) on well-defined trails with slight elevation changes and uneven terrain.

Weather

The weather patterns in the Canadian Rockies are fickle and hard to forecast accurately. Moody days might not make for the best views, but besides grand mountain vistas we can photograph canyons, lakes, waterfalls, glaciers, wildlife, trees, etc.

All workshops will run in adverse weather, unless a Public Alert has been published by Environment Canada. In that case, a full refund, minus $50 admin fee, will be provided.
