This exclusive Expedition Photography program lets you travel aboard the ships of the Lindblad-National Geographic fleet, explore remarkable geographies—and have professional photographers at your side and at your service.

Certified photography instructors

A Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic certified photo instructor is aboard every ship in our National Geographic flagged fleet.

This instructor is also a naturalist, and is specially trained to offer assistance with camera settings, the basics of composition, and to help you become a better, more confident photographer so you'll go home with the best shots ever.

National Geographic photographers

A National Geographic photographer is aboard every departure of our flagship, National Geographic Explorer.

Shoot with, and learn from, the best in the world—National Geographic photographers, integral members of our expedition teams. Travel with these pros for inspiration and shooting tips in extraordinary field environments. They're engaging presenters and interesting travel companions too—with good stories to share about their assignments, from the podium and over drinks or dinner.

Dedicated photography expeditions

Want to go deeper into geography photography? Take a specially designated photo expedition.

Imagine exploring a geography you’ve always wanted to, with 360º photo ops, perfect light, someone at your elbow to give you the tip you need when you need it—and all the time you need to get your shots right. That’s what our photo expeditions give you. They feature outings timed to take advantage of the best light—aboard Zodiacs for up-close encounters with marine mammals, or on photo walks. Plus, unique “share and learn” opportunities like onboard photo clinics, one-to-one critiques and inclusive laptop gallery events to see each other's shots.
