This is the good news. Our Private Photo Tours accommodate a maximum of 2 participants. You can book the tour for just yourself, but we recommend inviting one other family member or friend to join you. If booking alone, Bob may invite his wife Candy to assist in wildlife spotting (she’s amazing!) and as a third body for additional safety and support. Small numbers allow everyone to enjoy the perfect vantage and plenty of room for camera gear in the vehicle. The biggest advantage of Private Photo Tours is that you and your partner receive ALL the attention and opportunities for growth in your photographic skills. You get the best views and don’t have to wait in queue to ask questions. The focus is on you and your success in achieving personal goals. It’s your day.

Private tours are more pricey in part because all the costs are absorbed by fewer participants. Licensing, permits, insurance, accreditation, park passes, fuel, food and equipment fees all add up. More importantly, you are participating in an experience where you alone receive all the attention and expertise. That is well beyond what larger groups can offer.

Perhaps you miss your flight or get cold feet. Don’t fret. We too have been in situations where a service provider had a ‘no refunds’ policy, and it hurts. It’s for this reason we don’t hold you ransom if your personal circumstances change. We accept a 50% deposit during registration and then collect the balance once you’re completely satisfied after the tour. We return your deposit less a small administration fee if life throws you a curve (like getting sick, or missing a flight).

Both Alberta Parks and Parks Canada make it pretty clear how both humans and photographers should interact with wildlife when encountered. Because of their solid rationale, we will comply with recommended distances, traffic laws and common sense, so we set the right example for others. This means we will use telephoto lenses from within or near our vehicle only when parked in designated spaces or well away from traffic. We will not join ‘bear jams’, and will leave an area quickly if it has potential to become a ‘jam’. You can read the policies of Alberta Parks HERE, and Parks Canada HERE. There’s something to be said about mastering the skills of ‘drive-by photography’.

We encourage you to bring your phone and can assist you with getting better results with selfies and candid shots, but we specifically design our adventures around the use of dedicated camera equipment.

No worries there. Branded Visuals has plenty of gear to share. This might be an opportunity for you to use a 600 f4 for the first time. Don’t get too excited though, because when Bob borrowed a nice gentleman's 500 f4 in Texas for the first time, it ended up costing him $8,000 dollars afterwards because he couldn’t resist buying one of his own.
