This Wildlife Photography Workshop is perfect for beginners who want to learn how to take control of their camera and learn tips and tricks of capturing their favourite animals at the zoo!

You trainer will guide you through the various shooting modes from auto to manual, no matter which camera you have.

Over the course of 3 hours, we’ll start with an overview to get you set up with shooting in the mode you feel most comfortable with, outline which settings are helpful with animal photography, discuss how to compose your shot to make a big impact and then spend time shooting, practicing and refining your skills.
