Thank you to all the photographers that shared their best shots showing marine wildlife in this photo contest made possible by our friends at Alaskan Photography Tours. Alaskan Photography Tours was created by photographers, for photographers. Come experience Alaska with a local Alaskan professional photographer! We are local, published professional photographers, and this is our backyard. Nobody knows this land better then the photographers that live here. Travel with us as we take you to some of the most incredible locations that are truly off the beaten path. Our tours and expeditions are designed to get you fantastic wildlife and landscape shots. These are photo tours, and our photography guides will be right next to you taking photographs as well. This is where we go to photograph, come with us and enjoy this amazing land.

A special thanks to friend and professional photographer Chris Beck for his collaboration as a guest judge. Chris Beck is no stranger to amazing landscapes and wild animals. Military trained in cold weather survival and backcountry skills, he decided to stay in Alaska when his tour was up. When not photographing commercial assignments or weddings, you can find Chris in the backcountry looking for wildlife. With more then 2 decades of experience, Chris is an excellent resource when it comes to reading the scene and getting the shots. Although Chris has shot for many publications, his true passion comes from helping other explore and learn more about photography. Chris has taught photography classes all over the state.
