About

I'm Phillip Ross. After 25 years in the field, I still find something new every time I go out. For me, wildlife photography isn't just about pressing the shutter - it's about patience, passion, and understanding the story behind every animal. Sometimes you get lucky. Sometimes you wait years for that one shot. But that's what makes it real.

What the Experience Feels Like

I personally lead every trip, always with small groups so you never feel lost in the crowd. We aren't just ticking off a sightings list - we're part of the forest, sometimes muddy, always alert, and soaking in everything. Whether it's finally spotting a rare turtle after years of trying or watching hornbills gather, these moments are pure magic. I want you to have those moments too.

What You’ll Learn

• Get hands-on with your camera, whether you’re a complete beginner or a regular shooter
• Master light, even when it’s harsh or unpredictable
• Try your hand at creative shots - silhouettes, backlight, action sequences
• Build your storytelling with 'tigerscapes' and environmental shots, not just close-ups
• On select trips, test out the latest Canon mirrorless gear in real wild conditions

Where We Go

• Indian forests for tiger and leopard photo safaris, hornbill gatherings, and rare frog and pit-viper adventures
• African savannahs for elephant giants and the intensity of the Great Migration
• Remote places like Kamchatka, chasing brown bears fishing for salmon

Who Comes Along

Anyone. Really. I do special camps for kids, trips for families, and journeys for pros looking to shake things up. If you love the wild, you're welcome.

I’m always looking forward to what the next guided wildlife expedition has in store.
