Watch This Before You Book
This short video will help you understand exactly what our workshops are like, who they’re for, and whether Follow Me North is the right fit for your photography journey.
If You’ve Ever Felt Stuck With Your Camera, You’re Not Alone
I remember those early days well. Standing in beautiful places, chasing light, fumbling with camera settings, and hoping something would work. I used to call it “spray and pray.”
Most photographers don’t struggle because they lack talent. They struggle because no one ever showed them how to slow down, understand what the camera is actually doing, and make intentional choices in real conditions.
Online tutorials can only take you so far. Real learning happens in the field, with changing light, moving wildlife, and someone beside you helping things click in real time.
That’s exactly why Follow Me North exists.
A Better Way
to Learn
Wildlife Photography
Ethical First
We teach wildlife photography rooted in respect, patience, and understanding animal behaviour.
No baiting. No pressure. No shortcuts.
Ego-Free Teaching
You’ll get hands-on guidance without intimidation.
We meet you where you are, whether you’re just starting or more experienced.
One-on-One Coaching,
Real Attention
Our Algonquin workshops are fully private. No additional participants will be added. This is just for you so you get plenty of one-on-one support and coaching in the field. Bring a friend or two and share the experience with no additional fee.
Algonquin Is Our Backyard
We know the seasons, the light, and the quiet places where moments unfold naturally. We’ll share our favourite locations within the park and set you up for success for your next visit to Algonquin.
