Broughton Archipelago Photography Workshop 2026
Join us for an unforgettable wildlife photography workshop in the remote and beautiful Broughton Archipelago, one of the most wildlife-rich areas on the Pacific Coast. We will travel through a maze of forested islands, narrow channels, and rugged shorelines as we search for bald eagles, seabirds, marine mammals, and coastal bears.
The Broughton Archipelago is known for its incredible biodiversity. Humpback whales, orcas, dolphins, sea lions, and sea otters are regularly seen throughout the region, while bald eagles and seabirds patrol the shorelines and ancient cedar forests. Every day on the water brings new photography opportunities and the possibility of an unforgettable wildlife encounter.

Workshop & Photo Tours — Where Learning Meets Adventure
Our Workshop & Photo Tours are immersive, field-based experiences designed to inspire creativity and deepen your connection to the natural world. Led by Stan Novotny, a wildlife photographer, videographer, and workshop leader, who blends education, exploration, and visual storytelling in some of the most stunning coastal environments in British Columbia and beyond.
Workshops vs. Photo Tours
Multi-day workshops are built for photographers who want to grow. These immersive experiences include hands-on instruction in the field, personalized feedback, and editing tutorials designed to elevate both technical skill and creative vision.
Photo tours focus on exploration and opportunity. Instruction is minimal, allowing you to concentrate on the experience itself—with the possibility of encountering truly epic wildlife in extraordinary natural settings.
Guided by Experience
With a deep commitment to showcasing the natural world and evoking emotion through imagery, Stan brings insight, context, and inspiration to every tour. From wildlife behavior to ethical photography, each experience is designed to help you see more, understand more, and create stronger visual stories.
Whether you’re refining your photography, exploring coastal ecosystems, or simply seeking a meaningful adventure, our Workshop & Photo Tours offer a powerful blend of learning, nature, and discovery.
Whether you’re a seasoned photographer or just beginning, our workshops are designed to sharpen your skills, introduce new techniques, and inspire your creative journey. Explore breathtaking landscapes, encounter diverse wildlife, and create images that tell powerful stories of the natural world.
