Alaska Stock captures imagery of Denali National Park’s new Eielson Visitor Center
Anchorage based Alaska Stock Images has announced that it has been tapped by the The National Park Service to create images of its new Eielson Visitor Center Denali National Park. Alaska Stock sent more than 20 photographer who produced approximately seventy custom stock images of majestic landscapes, wildlife, botanical studies, and park activities. The official grand-opening of the new facility is planned for August 12, 2008.
Carol Harding, Denali’s interpretive planner, remarked, “The National Park Service is extremely pleased with the outstanding quality of the images supplied by Alaska Stock for Eielson Visitor Center. Jeff Schultz was great to work with, and always responded immediately to our needs.”
The Eielson Visitor Center is located in the heart of Denali National Park at Mile 66 on the Park Road and is completing the process of LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification. The facility is poised to become a model for future facilities developed in an environmentally-friendly way to better protect and showcase the beauty of the national park. Total cost of the 7,400 square feet low-profile, earth-bermed building and its exhibits was $9.2 million and includes large indoor and outdoor viewing areas, an indoor dining area, space for indoor ranger presentations, captivating exhibits plus an interactive topographical model of Mount McKinley that is twelve feet in diameter.
“We were very happy and excited to receive the contract to do the custom photography for the new Eielson Visitor Center exhibits two years ago and now to see it completed in such a spectacular facility is most rewarding”, commented Jeff Schultz, owner and founder of Alaska Stock. “The images that were needed to show off and explain the park’s beauty to the world proved to be quite easy for some and quite a challenge for others. In the end it was very gratifying. We were fortunate to work with great people like Marc Belanger from Aldrich Pears and Carol Harding from Denali Park who made the entire project such a joy.”
