Heritage Expeditions is teaming up with seabird photographer Rachel Bigsby to offer exclusive wildlife photography workshops on two Subantarctic Islands voyages in 2025.

The workshops, limited to eight photographers per voyage, will be held aboard the Heritage Adventurer. Aaron Russ, Heritage Expeditions’ commercial director and expedition leader, emphasized the unique opportunity for guests to travel with and learn from Bigsby, who was recognized with the Wildlife Photographer of the Year’s Natural Artistry award and the Bird Photographer of the Year’s Portfolio award.

“Rachel is an accomplished and incredible talent beyond her years and a tenacious, self-taught trailblazer. Her genuine passion for nature is evident in both her incredible work, which not only beautifully captures the natural world, but also informs and educates on its importance,” said Russ.

“We are incredibly excited to welcome Rachel onboard and share her artistic vision and relentless dedication to photography and the natural world with our guests while exploring some of the world’s most remote and photogenic destinations in Heritage Expeditions authentic expedition cruise style.”

Bigsby described the partnership with Heritage Expeditions as “a dream come true”.

“I’m so happy to partner with Heritage Expeditions to offer wildlife photography workshops for these incredible voyages. As a seabird photographer, this is truly a dream come true – the opportunity to explore some of the world’s most remote and pristine environments, where seabirds and wildlife thrive with an organization whose values align with my own,” she said.

“I’m excited to share my passion with like-minded individuals, guiding them to capture not just images, but the unique stories and fleeting moments that make these expeditions so special. Being able to help others create photographs they’ll treasure for a lifetime is an honor, and I can’t wait to embark on this journey together.”
