Your Bio

Welcome to my world.

Much of the summer I spend flying clients around Alaska. The rest of my time I devote to nature photography in many styles. From aerials to macros and IR to intimate animal portraits. Please take time to look around the web site. I am in the process of re-organizing the images to make for easier access to the types of images you want to see.

Now under construction is my new Fine Art Prints site at http://www.artwithinnature.com Check it out!

You can order my dvd or custom prints directly from me, just use the 'email me link' below, or my
new address is

stadsklev@gmail.com

Drop me a line if you would like to be a 'client' and be advised when new material becomes available.

More photo safari to remote glaciers and volcanoes are in the planning for 2010. If you are looking for a custom photo safari, drop me an email. I will be leading trips to remote locations for one day, or possibly overnight excursions. Prices vary depending on the number of participants, but groups remain small less than 6 photographers on any tour. I have some truly unique destinations in mind that I do not publish so as to keep the traffic down. Drop me an email and we will see what I can arrange for your vacation up here.

Sincerely,
Mark Stadsklev
