About this Event

Join award-winning photographer and certified guide Evan Will for an immersive presentation on photographing tigers and wildlife in their natural environments. This in-person presentation is taking place in McBain Creator Classroom at their Mayfield location in Edmonton at 2pm on Saturday, December 6th.

Drawing from field experiences across India’s wild reserves, Evan shares insights on lens selection, camera settings, and shooting techniques that capture the raw power and quiet grace of these elusive animals.

The talk explores how understanding animal behavior, light, and environment can elevate your photography — not only for tigers, but for wildlife everywhere. Evan also covers responsible and ethical practices for photographing animals in the wild, plus practical travel considerations: permits, gear logistics, and navigating international travel with professional equipment.

Featuring a showcase of striking wildlife imagery and an open Q&A session, this presentation offers inspiration and actionable techniques for photographers of all levels who want to tell meaningful stories through wildlife photography.
