Testimonials
Matt Walker
Sergius led an incredible workshop! I cannot recommend booking with him enough; no matter your skill level, you will walk away with some valuable lessons learned. He is so patient and eager to share his knowledge with anyone from understanding bird/wildlife behavior to dialing in your camera settings! Don't hesitate and book that trip today!
Scott Davis
"I traveled to Alaska in the summer of 2022 to photograph a brown bear in the wild. After a string of bad luck, I reached out to Sergius to help me find them on the river and after less than one hour, we located a juvenile brown bear and my trip was a success. I couldn't have done it without him!"
Ramesh Kodavatiganti
"Alaska is a wild wonder. Sergius makes a workshop experience - Wonderful with his patient persistence at getting to the right location for the best shots both visually & artistically! It's never a let down with Sergius technically, location and wildlife spotting: always an amazing time! He's out there to help your portfolio and not be focused for his own gallery."
Dr. Mark McCaffrey
"I bet there are guys that took photography workshops from Jimmy Chin in the 1990s before he broke out. Those guys tell their kids about that now. Be that guy."
