POLAR BEAR PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP
Join acclaimed wildlife photographer and expedition leader Roie Galitz for an immersive photography workshops in breathtaking Arctic landscapes. With years of field experience in polar conditions—and a portfolio recognized with international awards—Roie has returned to this high-Arctic wilderness time and again to document its dramatic light, wildlife, and ice in dozens of expeditions.
These workshops are built around real-world shooting: working fast in changing weather, reading light on snow and water, and creating images that tell a story. Roie provides hands-on coaching on composition, exposure, focus technique, low-light strategy, and visual storytelling, tailored to your level—whether you’re refining the fundamentals or pushing professional-quality results.
Roie’s workshops are offered in a range of formats to match different goals and travel styles.
Every program combines skill-building with an unforgettable Arctic experience. You’ll return with stronger technique, a sharper creative eye, and a powerful set of images—alongside memories that stay with you long after the ice fades from view.
SVALBARD - 36 PEOPLE EXPEDITION YACHT - 2027
Step aboard Captain Arctic - an intimate 36-guest expedition vessel purpose-built for deep polar exploration and designed to travel lightly. Her signature green environmental sails aren’t just a striking silhouette on the horizon; they represent a modern approach to Arctic travel that prioritizes efficiency, quiet navigation, and a lower-impact presence in fragile ecosystems.
This is a true small-ship experience: faster landings, fewer crowds, and the flexibility to respond to weather, wildlife, and light in real time. From pack ice and glaciers to seabird cliffs and remote shorelines, Captain Arctic is engineered to get you closer safely and responsibly while keeping comfort and operational professionalism at the core.
Your journey is guided by five award-winning experts - specialists in photography and Arctic operations - delivering a rare combination of creative mentorship and on-the-ground polar knowledge. Expect daily field instruction, onboard image reviews, and practical coaching tailored to your style and skill level: composition, exposure in snow-and-ice environments, wildlife behavior, storytelling, and expedition workflow. Just as importantly, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the Arctic itself - ice dynamics, ecology, navigation, and the realities of a changing polar world.
Captain Arctic is for travelers who want more than a cruise: a high-end, small-group expedition where every day is shaped by conditions, curiosity, and the pursuit of extraordinary images - guided by a team that knows how to deliver both.
