About Our Company
Casey Mannes
Photography Trip Leader
Hey everyone, my name is Casey Cooper!
I am a boat captain, pilot, photography/fly-fishing guide, and freelance photographer. I grew up in Kalamazoo, Michigan, where I spent the first 21 years of my life before hitting the road.
Between the Alaskan Summer fly fishing seasons, I spend my time traveling the world, checking off one bucket list item at a time – and capturing photographs along the way.
I specialize in both landscape and wildlife photography. There is nothing that gets me as high as capturing the beauty of this planet and the incredible creatures that live amongst us and how important it is to preserve the remaining beauty of our natural world.
Through my photography, I can take a creative approach in sharing the magnificence hidden within the crevices of Mother Earth.
