Northern Lights Photo Workshops

If you want to join a photography workshop for the northern lights, there are two seasons when you can expect to photograph the lights in the night skies. There's the autumn season when the land and lakes are still warm, and the fall colors still paint the ground and forests in a palate of crimson reds, oranges, and yellow. There is also the winter season when the lakes are frozen and the mountains and ground are covered in a cleansing coat of white snow.

Kevin Pepper Photography specializes in enabling your dreams of photographing the Aurora in the northern polar regions (Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and Iceland). I have been taking photography groups to these regions since 2013. With my trusted network of accommodations and guides, we are here to welcome you to the most photogenic locations to capture images of the northern lights.

AURORA CHASING PHOTO TOUR in the Winter

Fairbanks sits right under the Auroral Oval, giving you stronger, brighter aurora than you’ll ever see at lower latitudes.

March is prime season—long nights, clearer skies, and snow-covered landscapes that make the perfect canvas for the lights dancing overhead. Cold? Sure. Worth it? Absolutely.

NORTHERN LIGHTS PHOTO TOURs in AUTUMN

Fairbanks sits right under the Auroral Oval, which means brighter, more predictable northern lights than you’ll ever see farther south. If you’ve only photographed aurora at lower latitudes, this is a completely different show.

September is a sweet spot—dark skies, mild temperatures, open water for reflections, and the possibility of fall color framing the scene. Add in the equinox boost, and your chances for unforgettable aurora images climb even higher.
