Photos and stories about digital photography in Alaska by professional photographer Patrick Endres
Photographer Patrick J Endres
Alaska has been my home for nearly 30 years, and its epic landscape continues to lure me, both personally, and professionally as a freelance stock and assignment photographer.
I grew up in a small town in southern Wisconsin, surrounded by the rolling hills of green farmland and hardwood forests. Adolescent curiosities and dreams of the future turned my vision north, and at age eighteen I ventured to Alaska—that seemingly mythical realm of adventure and land of extremes. I am not unlike many northern sojourners, lured to Alaska for reasons of intrigue and fascination, and compelled to remain by its giant space and rugged wilderness. Adventure is the seed of discovery, and Alaska is a place fertile and rich with opportunities for both.
Alaska’s natural world serves as a gateway into ubiquitous photographic material, from which I have sampled abundantly, but it is the layers and depth of its landscapes that now lure me most. While style is often found in the rear view mirror, I know that my long-time fascination with color and light, two fundamental aspects of painting and photography, weave their way into what may be descriptive of my work. I’m constantly intrigued by the influence of one upon the other.
My professional career is best summarized by nearly 30,000 images that span the last 17 years. These images are marketed through my business stock photography website www.alaskaphotographics.com and they represent isolated moments in a fluid journey across Alaska’s vibrant landscape. Some are the result of serendipity, some of extensive planning and scouting, but all tell a small part of larger story. The process of their creation has been a voiceless, but not silent teacher, and I as the student am perpetually exhorted that the gift of seeing requires more than the eyes that see.
I’ll be sharing some visual goods and comments about my ventures here so stop back often and let this be your virtual Alaska.
Thanks for visiting,

I’m often asked this question, but find it very difficult to answer. Part of Alaska’s lure and fascination to me is found in its tremendous diversity of environment. Sampling from one makes the others uniqueness more prominent. I like winter because of summer and I like summer in… Categories: Arctic, Denali National Park, Interior, Katmai National Park, Landscapes, Prince William Sound, Southwest, Wildlife
As part of the Northern Alaska Environmental Center’s “Northern Voices”, I’ll be giving a presentation at the Noel Wein library in Fairbanks on Thursday, January 8 at 7:00PM. It’s titled “Visual Notes from Alaska’s Landscape”. If you are brave enough to buffet yourself against the minus 40-50 degree temperatures we have been having across interior… Categories: Fairbanks
We have added a few new polar bear photos to the website from a trip in October to Alaska’s arctic coast of the Beaufort Sea. Additionally, we made a polar bear gallery to supplement our polar bear information page. |
