Learn how to capture beautiful wildlife photos in the picturesque setting of Richmond Park. In this dedicated photography workshop you’ll experience “in the field” tutorials in front of the majestic red and fallow deer that occupy the park.
Richmond Park may just be a short train ride away from central London, but it feels like a completely different world. The park feels more like the countryside than city and is full of beautiful backdrops including silver birch trees, ferns and lakes. It’s also home to over 600 wild deer, who freely roam the park.
The Wildlife Photography Workshop is suitable for beginners and a brilliant opportunity to start mastering the art of photography. The workshops are private, so you’ll benefit from the undivided attention of your guide.
If you’re already a budding photographer - this class will be perfect for you too. Your guide will be able to help you hone your skills and really master the art of wildlife photography.
The Wildlife Photography Workshop is scheduled to fall during the most picture perfect time of day. Golden hour - the hour before the sun sets - will ensure you get the optimum light for your photography and come home with photos to be proud of.
