I'm Michael Schultz, a professional photographer and videographer based in Alaska, with a deep passion for capturing the world through the lens. Over the yers, I've traveled extensively to document the stunning beauty of nature, and through my work, I aim to inspire others to connect with the natural world and see it through a creative perspective.

As an Alaskan native, I feel privileged to call this breathtaking state my home, and it has been the perfect backdrop for my journey in photography. This deep connection to nature led me to create Face The Outdoors, a brand and community dedicated to bringing together photographers, videographers, and nature lovers who share a passion for exploring and capturing the wonders of the world.

Through Face The Outdoors, I seek to foster a community where creatives can exchange ideas, collaborate, and grow in their craft. whether you're an experienced photographer or just starting, we are united by our desire to capture the beauty of the world around us. We believe that photography has the power to tell stories, build connections, and inspire others to explore beyond their own boundaries.

At Face The Outdoors, our mission is simple: to bring together a diverse group of individuals who share a love for photography, adventure, and the great outdoors. We take pride in our years of experience running northern lights photo tours here in Alaska, but now the horizon beckons us toward new adventures. Our vision involves expanding our offerings to include immersive photography workshops in some of the most breathtaking locations on the planet. This shift is driven by my unwavering passion for photography and a genuine desire to share that enthusiasm with aspiring photographers eager to learn and grow.

While our customer testimonials speak volumes about the unforgettable experiences shared during our tours, there's nothing quite like the thrill of participating in a workshop firsthand. If you're passionate about capturing the natural world through your lens, we invite you to join us in this exciting creative journey.
