Alaska

Film and photography for destinations and tour operators.

Alaska.
Out in the wild.

Tablo documents places, people and experiences for tourism boards and tour operators. Our work in Alaska includes imagery for helicopter excursions, boat tours and glacier experiences, alongside wildlife photography from Katmai.

Photography and film by Marc Bächtold. From bear encounters in Katmai to helicopter and boat excursions: a photographic journey through Alaska, with a look behind the camera.

Katmai.
At the river with the bears.

The bears are the heart of this collection. Not just the chase and the catch, but the time in between: cubs following their mother, a pause on the riverbank, a silhouette in the evening light.

Bears. Salmon.
A shared river.

The salmon connect these two perspectives: close to the bear with its catch, then looking down into the river. The red beneath the surface is the fish themselves. Both views belong to the Katmai series.

Behind
the camera.

The finished photographs show one view. These phone recordings show another: cameras at the riverbank, the way through the valley and the view from the helicopter. Moments from the same journey, recorded along the way.

Beyond the green,
the ice begins.

From above, the glacier reaches far between the mountains. On the ground, that broad surface becomes a world of ridges, crevasses and blue water.

The edge of the cockpit stays in the frame. Beyond it, green slopes fall towards a glacier. On the ice, the helicopter stands between frozen walls and meltwater.

A different view
from the deck.

The coast draws closer and a wall of ice fills the view. People stand side by side on deck, looking out. Even the boat seems small in front of the glacier.

Your destination.
A story of its own.

Tablo creates film, photography and documentary content for destinations, tourism boards and tour operators. For websites, campaigns, social media, press and print.

Documentary content

We follow excursions, tours and the people behind them, focusing on the experience as it happens.

Film & video

From short website sequences to destination films: concept, filming, editing and colour grading are shaped around your project.

Photography

Landscapes, wildlife, guests and adventure lifestyle. A coherent collection of images prepared for the formats you need.

Aerial imagery

Views that reveal the routes and scale of a landscape. A complement to ground-level footage, where drone use is permitted.

We start
with your vision.

What should people remember about your destination? Which experiences do you want to share? Together, we turn that into a production plan.

Concept development, photography, film and post-production are handled in-house. Reviews and revisions are planned around each project. We work in German and English, with a focus on the DACH region and Europe, alongside international productions.

Who does Tablo create tourism content for?

Destinations, tourism boards and operators offering tours, excursions and adventure experiences. This Alaska portfolio features wildlife, landscapes and tourism activities.

Can photography and film be produced together?

Yes. We plan both together when it suits the project, agreeing on subjects, formats and required versions before production.

Can we work with Tablo in English?

Yes. We work in English and German. Alaska is one project example; our work also takes us across the DACH region, Europe and other destinations.

How do we begin?

With a conversation about your vision, your offer and the people you want to reach. Scope, timing, uses and licensing are agreed for each project.
