The Alaska Society of Outdoor & Nature Photographers is a non-profit social organization dedicated to promoting public education, self-improvement and ethical behavior in outdoor photography. ASONP members participate in group photo trips, an annual juried exhibition, lectures, seminars, formal workshops and image shows. The official ASONP website offers members an additional information resource. The ViewFinder blog provides articles of broad interest and an opportunity to have selected images and writing published, while an e-mail bulletin keeps members apprised of the short-notice opportunities and other time-sensitive issues.

Alaska’s world-renowned wildlife populations and eye-popping scenery offer photographers unsurpassed opportunities for capturing dramatic outdoor images. Though photography is a personal vision quest, much can be gained from associating with others of like interest while sharing ideas and information, particularly during periods of rapid technology.

Any photographer, regardless of skill level, may join ASONP and enjoy the benefits that accrue from being part of this enthusiastic group. Meetings are free and open to the public.
