TESTIMONIALS "I couldn't pass the opportunity to work with one of the greatest outdoor photographers of our time. And ironically, despite his incredible success and talent, Chris is not only one of the most humble men, but willingly shares his knowledge so that I could grasp his passion. When others were being lectured by their photo guides, Chris asked us what we learned today, praised our successes and suggested how to make our not so successful shots better. When opportunities arose, Chris put us first, always. Only when we felt comfortable with the shot did he take some of his own". Andy, USA. "Thank you for such a wonderful adventure, I have wanted to do this trip for a long time and I am so happy to have done it with you. You are so kind and so sensitive to everyone's needs and you share your knowledge and expertise so freely and willingly. I could not help but capture spectacular mementos of this trip. I cannot wait for our next adventure together". Diana, USA. "First up, I just wanted to let you know how much the boys and I enjoyed our time at Lake Clark National Park with Chris. He is an awesome tour leader, and a lovely guy to boot. Great to spend time with him". Barbara, Australia. "Its been a fantastic trip, you and Chris have done a really great job again, as normal". Zoe, United Kingdom.
