In today’s digital world, the ability to capture a striking, professional-quality image isn’t just a bonus skill—it’s essential.
For animal care professionals, photography plays a vital role in storytelling, education, and conservation. With many keepers now actively contributing to social media and public engagement, knowing how to showcase animals in the best possible light helps promote both individual collections and the wider mission of wildlife care.
This unique workshop experience is designed specifically for those working with animals who want to elevate their photography skills using the device they already have in their pocket. Led by award-winning photographer Pandora Maund, this workshop will guide you through every aspect of mobile photography. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to refine your technique, you’ll learn how to:
Use the best apps to enhance your images
Master lighting in natural and enclosure settings
Choose the right angles to highlight animal behaviour and features
Understand what makes a powerful, engaging photograph
Build confidence in sharing and promoting your work online
The day combines engaging theory sessions with hands-on practical experience, giving you the opportunity to photograph a variety of animals within the Valley Wildlife collection.
