Excell Nature Safaris
Dates TBA
It is my goal for you to return home with a hard drive filled with incredible images of the natural world we encounter as well as a heart overflowing with wonder at the experience. Not only will I get you to the subjects, I am here to help you capture the images that best communicate your vision in addition to providing you with the tools to continue your wildlife photography journey beyond our short time together. My safaris are limited to small groups so that I can provide quality attention to each and every participant. With a small group, I am able to tailor each safari to the groups needs. All skill levels are welcome…with the requirement that you have a big lens (appropriate for the location and subject) and an even bigger passion for nature and wildlife photography. Mornings and evenings are spent in the field working our subjects. Midday is time for downloading and reviewing our images, studying our techniques, discussing how we can improve for our next shoot. I’ll go over my workflow, what I look for in a successful image and how I go about bringing my personal vision to life within my images in the digital darkroom. So, what are you waiting for? Come on safari with Laurie! For more information(deposits, what's included, cancellations, etc.) or to sign up: Laurie Excell laurie at laurieexcell.com or call 503-703-3872. Testimonials"Surviving my first Laurie Excell WildTour, I can honestly say that besides making some great photography come to life, she never let's there be one dull moment! Thanks Laurie!" Moose Peterson
Bruce Jodar "If I had the money I would take every single one of Laurie's workshops - she rocks!!! The groups are small and filled with good folks. Laurie works non-stop to make sure you have just the right adventure by monitoring and adjusting the tempo and locations. It goes without saying that you will learn great photographic techniques as well as necessary photoshop techniques. I have already signed up for two more of Laurie's workshops because I had that good of time with her on the last one. I can't recommend Laurie highly enough." Sallie Jo Perraglia "The most valuable money I’ve spent on making my photography better has been spent on time with Laurie Excell. She is has a great talent and is a wonderful teacher. Her Safaris offer you a chance to hone your skills in a blind with her. If you’ve ever wondered what a pro could do in the circumstances you find yourself, here’s your chance to find out."

Welcome to Excell Nature Safaris where we travel to the wildlife hotspots of No America to photograph furry and feathered creatures alike in their natural habitat. 
"I have worked with many of the best-known nature and wildlife photographers in the world including Galen Rowell, Art Wolfe, John Shaw, Rob Sheppard, and Moose Peterson, but my time with Laurie Excell was by far the most instructive and productive. She is an exceptional photographer, able to extract maximum beauty and drama from any subject, and her equipment knowledge is comprehensive. Even more impressive is her ability to share her photographic vision with clients, from beginners to old hands, in a way that inspires them to become better photographers, better artists, and better stewards of our natural world. Her enthusiasm for the photographic process is infectious and I can't think of anyone I'd rather be in the field with than Laurie."
