Workshops

There are different “disciplines” within the realm of nature and wildlife photography, each with their own idiosyncrasies – each requires different types of lens, different methods, different camera settings, etc. 

Captured Wilderness Photography offers four different workshops in nature and wildlife photography: Wildlife, Natural Landscape, Night Sky, and Macro Insect and Flower photography.

Important Information

When clicking on the buttons above, please ensure that you are clicking the correct button for the workshops that you are interested in. Each button sends an email but each with a different preformatted subject line, so if you want information about a wildlife photography workshop, please ensure that you are clicking the button directly below “Wildlife”. You will still need to write an email as only the subject line is pre-formatted.

Your email will need to contain your name and contact details so that I can respond to your request.

Please note that ALL workshops require that you already possess your own camera and other requisite ancillaries (lenses, tripods, etc) relevant to the workshop that you wish to attend.

There are blog posts on this site with more details about each type of workshop, including the locations of the workshops, relevant equipment, and if the workshop is a normally scheduled one and not a private workshop that I have been asked to put on, the the dates of upcoming workshops also.  Please click on the “Blog” button on the menu bar at the top of the page to look for posts regarding workshops.
