About this Event
Don’t just "take" a picture of wildlife—learn how to craft an award-winning portrait.
In this intensive 2-hour classroom session, internationally recognized wildlife photographer Karen Schuenemann shares the "insider playbook" that has landed her work in the London Natural History Museum and Audubon Magazine.
Wildlife photography is notoriously difficult, but the secret lies in the preparation. Karen has made all the mistakes so you don’t have to. You will leave this workshop with the 10 essential tips needed to "level up" your imagery the very next time you step into the field.
What You Will Master:
- The Pro Settings: The specific camera configurations that ensure you never miss a split-second bird-in-flight.
- Field Ethics & Approach: How to track and photograph animals without disturbing their natural behavior.
- The "Nuance" Factor: Small tweaks in composition and lighting that catapult an image from "snapshot" to "masterpiece."
- Mistake-Proofing: Identifying the common pitfalls that ruin wildlife shots before you even press the shutter.
Who is this for? Perfect for photographers of all levels who want to stop guessing and start shooting with the confidence of a professional. Whether you’re prepping for a backyard birding session or a global safari, this class provides the technical foundation you need.
