The professional competencies you acquire in this program, whether technical or business-related, are the basis of a fulfilling career that integrates creative expression with business potential, enabling you to make a living out of what you enjoy.

Master Technical Skills for Challenging Conditions

The field of wildlife photography requires knowledge in both shooting moving objects and the ability to handle uncontrollable lighting conditions present in often natural environments. Over the course of this all-inclusive workshop, you will learn the technical basics such as optimizing your camera settings to capture fast-moving wildlife, exposure, and composition techniques that produce images that are aesthetically appealing. There is also an introduction to post-processing with Lightroom so that you can also refine your photos to a professional level without losing the natural beauty of nature. You will know how to expect animals to act, where to place yourself to take the best shots, and how to make snap decisions that can be the difference between missing a great shot and a photograph in your portfolio. These technical principles will enable you to go into any wildlife photography situation with confidence, whether it is chasing birds with rapid wings or getting close enough to photograph the elusive subject.

Learn Ethical and Safe Wildlife Interaction

Learning how to observe animal behavior and engaging in ethical photography are important elements of responsible wildlife photography that keeps you and your subjects safe. The wildlife photography course will inform you on how to approach and shoot different animals safely and ethically so that your presence does not disrupt their natural behaviors or interfere with the welfare of the animals. Special zoology modules can give you an insight into how to work safely with animals of various species, be aware of potential danger signals, keep a safe distance, and not to cross boundaries. This information does not only keep you safe in certain potentially dangerous circumstances but also, makes sure that your photography is used positively to help conservation work instead of creating stress or damage. Studying such moral values makes you a professional who cares about the welfare of animals, and this holds significant appeal with publications, conservation groups, and thoughtful users of wildlife images.

Build a Professional Portfolio and Career

In this training, you will learn how to create spectacular photographs in a wide range of environments and build a portfolio of the beauty of nature. Powerful folio is your best marketing instrument, to showcase your vision and technical potential to your potential clients, publications, and conservation groups. You will also know how to sell your work to magazines, conservation organizations and other outlets that are interested in getting a saleable image of wildlife. In the course, you are equipped to make money out of your passion in different ways such as stock photography, editorial jobs, fine art prints and collaborating with environmental tourism operators. A series of one-on-one reviews with accomplished wildlife photographers during your education experience aid in you developing your own style and gaining confidence in your creative voice, which will set you on the path to succeed in this competitive yet enjoyable profession.
