Workshops

The Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, Wales, is an area of outstanding natural beauty ideally suited for both wildlife and landscape photography. Over the course of this workshop we will visit a selection of the prime locations the region has to offer, so you can enjoy an opportunity for some exciting and rewarding outdoor photography.

Principal among these will be the world renown Skomer Island National Nature Reserve; the workshop has been timed to coincide with the expansive displays of seasonal wild flowers, including Sea campion, Red campion and British Bluebells, as well as the breeding season of the many bird species to be found on the island in this period, including the iconic Puffin. Other bird species you will be able to observe and photograph include, Razorbill, Guillemot, Kittywake, Fulmar, and Gannet. 

Considered by many to be one of the greatest wildlife sanctuaries in the world, Zambia offers the opportunity for an incredible photographic safari. 

Particularly in the South Luangwa National Park, where the concentration of animals and birds is among the most intense in Africa; it is home to sixty species of mammals, including elephant, lion, zebra, giraffe, buffalo, hippo and antelope, and has a reputation of being one of the best places in Africa to see leopard and African wild dog. 

The month of May is one of the best times for wildlife-viewing, as the Green (Emerald) season draws to an end, following the seasonal rains that fall between November and early April. The vegetation is verdant providing an abundance of food necessary to sustain the large numbers of newly born animals, especially among the herds of herbivores. This proliferation of young, vulnerable creatures gives rise to a significantly heightened level of activity by the primary predators, with the potential for extraordinary sightings.  

May is also an exceptional time for watching and photographing birds in this region, with the number of endemic species swelled by an influx of migratory species. Many birds will be exhibiting their colourful breeding plumage and associated mating displays. The lush vegetation and abundance of water draw wading flocks of herons, egrets and storks, along with several species of geese and ducks, while weavers are busy creating colonies of nests that hang over lagoons.

Principal among these will be the world renown Skomer Island National Nature Reserve; the sea bird colonies will be of particular interest, as many species will be tending young, especially the iconic Puffin. The workshop has been timed to coincide with them coming ashore carrying sandeels to feed the pufflings. Other bird species you will be able to observe and photograph include, Razorbill, Guillemot, Kittywake, Fulmar, and Gannet.

The thrill of photographing the world renown wild White Horses of the Camargue running through the shallow waters of the marshes, and galloping in the surf of the Mediterranean Sea is a dream come true for any photographer passionate about wildlife; however, the excitement does not stop there, as in addition to a variety of shoots with the horses, you will also photograph a herd of imposing Black Camargue Bulls being driven by a team of Gardians and stunning Camargue bird life, including flocks of Pink Flamingos as they take flight in formation at sunrise.
