Getting close to big animals — especially brown bears — is an unforgettable experience!
It can be transformative in your relationships with people, animals and trust.
Capturing those moments on your camera just keeps spreading the inspiration exponentially!
Ron Levy, Photographer, Writer, Tour Director
“My first inspiration in photography was my uncle, a Hollywood TV photographer and Jerry Lewis’ cousin. He brought home bloopers of famous actors, and we would laugh endlessly at hilarious, unscripted moments between takes. I was in awe that he was able to capture not only those rare moments, but the unspoken trust of his subjects.”
Ron began giving interpretive walks and tours while stationed as a solo caretaker on a remote uninhabited island 45 miles off the coast of California. San Miguel island was part of the Channel Islands, administered by the National Park Service. He was only 20 years old, working on his degree at UC Santa Barbara.
Visitors to the island were few and far between, almost all of them biologists and scientists studying the seals, birds, archeology and geology that made the island unique. Ron participated in census surveys, solar/wind experiments, and numerous other projects while there, being flown around in helicopters and small planes. For a 20-something who had grown up in Los Angeles, this was a game-changer.
He was forever lured away from the chaotic, dysfunctional cement jungle to greener pastures. He continued as a seasonal ranger with NPS and USFWS for 10 years. Between seasons, he studied jazz piano briefly at Berklee College in Boston, and went on self-assigned, solo and formal photo tours on every continent, including Antarctica. He moved to Alaska in 1981, where he has remained ever since.
Ron began getting published nationally and internationally while he worked as a stringer for Associated Press, and later with several global photo agencies. He also owned a lodging business on Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula for 18 years, where he started giving wildlife photo tours exclusively for his guests. He also participated in photography tours around the world, including Galapagos, Africa, Belize, Antarctica and Asia, and assisted with photo techniques, language translation and organizing tour logistics.
Ron’s images have now been published for 40+ years by National Geographic, Smithsonian, Time, Newsweek, and hundreds more. Museum and other exhibits include London Museum of Natural History, The Carnegie, West Point Military Academy, Anchorage Museum, Hollywood Director’s Guild, and galleries in Barcelona, Italy and China, Images have also been displayed on billboards, NBC, PBS, and TV documentaries.
A lifelong obsession has been to document the limits of compassion between species, communities and cultures. There are many ways to interact and address life’s issues. Better choices can be made with better perspectives.
“Political and philosophical differences aside, images still connect us personally, locally and globally. My hope as a photographer is that by illustrating our common joys, desires and fears, others may be motivated to widen their “compassion boundaries”.
Other passions include supporting NGOs in health and conservation fields, scuba diving, jazz piano, bicycling and ping pong!
Ron’s experience, training, connections and sensitivity to your needs and personality will make you feel comfortable on your tour, deeply rewarding and filled with terrific “keeper”images!
