About the course

By the end of this class, you will have your very own captivating wildlife portrait.

After over 11 years of experience and being shortlisted in The British Photography Awards, these are my top tips.

This class will teach you what the key elements of a wildlife portrait are and how to use them in your own work. For me, these are:

  • knowledge of the animal
  • creating a connection
  • head angles
  • the importance of the background in composition
  • balance & flow
  • light
  • editing

This class is for anyone looking to improve their wildlife photography or even to take better photos of their pets. A working knowledge of how to use your camera would be beneficial.

You will need a camera (a phone will do for tame animals) and photo editing software to complete the class project.

I will be adding more courses related to photography in the future so please give me a follow if you enjoy this class to stay up to date. I’m also on Instagram if you’d like to connect there too.

What can you learn from this course?

For this project, you are going to take your own captivating wildlife portrait.

First you will choose which animal gets to be your lucky model and find out a little bit about them. You know, what their morning and bedtime routines are, what they like to eat and where they hang out with their friends.

Once you have completed the class lessons, you’ll be set loose and the training wheels will fly off – it’s time to get into the field and take your photos.

Finally you’ll bring your precious images into your editing software to take your RAW files from dull and washed out, to recreating the magic atmosphere that you felt at the time you pressed the shutter.

Completing this class project will leave you with an image that you’re proud of and hopefully add to your portfolio!

I’d love to see your image in the class project gallery and see how you’ve put your skills into action.
