Melbourne Zoo Workshop

Welcome to our Beginner Wildlife Photography Workshop, a specialised course designed for those passionate about animals and photography. Hosted within the vibrant setting of the Melbourne Zoo, this workshop offers a unique opportunity to capture the beauty of wildlife in one of the most diverse habitats.

The course begins by introducing you to the exciting world of wildlife photography and its unique challenges. We then delve into the technicalities, such as understanding and adjusting camera settings to capture animals in motion, selecting the right lenses for different scenarios, and managing exposure in varying light conditions.

Our workshop further explores the creative aspects of wildlife photography. You will learn about composition techniques that highlight these animals' natural beauty and behaviours, such as capturing action shots, portraying their environment, and using depth of field to focus on your subjects. We will also cover different lighting scenarios, teaching you how to work with natural light to create stunning images.

Throughout the course, hands-on practice sessions will be conducted at the Melbourne Zoo under the guidance of our experienced instructors. These sessions will provide you with real-world experience, helping you apply what you've learned and refine your skills.

Whether you're an aspiring wildlife photographer aiming to master the art of capturing animals in their natural behaviour or a hobbyist looking to take memorable wildlife images, our workshop provides the requisite knowledge, skills, and inspiration. Join us and embark on this exciting photographic safari.
