Brown Bear Photography

Photography holidays in Finland, Tibet, the United States

Few subjects test a photographer's patience and nerve quite like the Brown Bear, and NaturesLens builds its holidays around giving you time in the field to work the low light, the reflections and the sheer physical presence of these animals without feeling rushed. Whether you're framing a bear against still forest pools or set within the vast openness of a high plateau, the aim is always to get you close enough, and comfortable enough, to come away with genuinely considered images rather than snapshots.

Where NaturesLens Photographs the Brown Bear

NaturesLens runs its Brown Bear photography holidays across Finland, Tibet and the United States, with the Brown Bears of Finland trip based around Suomussalmi and Viiksimo, and Tibetan Wildlife of the Qing-Zang Plateau taking in Budongquan, the Dulan Reserve, the Qing-Zang Plateau itself and Xining. In the United States, Sitka features as part of the Breathtaking Bubble-Netting Whales holiday. These trips are typically scheduled for March, July and November, so it's worth planning well ahead to secure your place on the one that suits your calendar.
