There are different “disciplines” within the realm of nature and wildlife photography, each with their own idiosyncrasies – each requires different types of lens, different methods, different camera settings, etc.
Captured Wilderness Photography offers four different workshops in nature and wildlife photography: Wildlife, Natural Landscape, Night Sky, and Macro Insect and Flower photography.
Dive into the world of wildlife photography in a focused, hands-on workshop designed to sharpen your ability to capture birds and animals with clarity and purpose.
During the workshop, I’ll guide you through proven field techniques, including equipment selection and setup, positioning for natural behavior shots, and the ethical standards that should govern every wildlife photographer.
My goal isn’t just to improve your technical ability. It’s to help you see differently — to anticipate movement, read behavior, and deepen your understanding of the natural world while respecting it.
You’ll leave with stronger images, stronger fundamentals, and a greater confidence in your fieldcraft.
Step into the world of landscape photography through a focused, field-based workshop designed to sharpen both your technical skill and your creative vision.
I’ll walk you through the core elements that make strong landscape images — light, composition, timing, weather, and patience. From rugged shorelines to quiet lakes and forests, you’ll learn how to read a scene and translate it into a compelling photograph.
This is not a classroom lecture. We’ll be in the field, applying techniques in real conditions. I provide direct feedback as you work, helping you refine your composition, exposure decisions, and ability to anticipate changing light.
The goal is simple: leave with stronger images, stronger instincts, and the confidence to approach any landscape with intention and standards.
Discover the discipline and precision required to photograph the night sky in a focused, field-based workshop dedicated to capturing celestial detail correctly.
I’ll teach you how to photograph stars, the moon, and other astronomical subjects using practical techniques such as long exposures, wide apertures, proper focusing in low light, and noise control. You’ll learn not just what settings to use, but why they matter.
This workshop takes place in true dark-sky conditions, where we work deliberately and methodically. I provide direct guidance in the field, helping you refine composition, exposure balance, and technical accuracy while preserving the natural integrity of the night sky.
The goal is not just to take a nice photo of stars.
It’s to leave with the confidence and technical understanding to capture the night sky correctly, consistently, and with intention.
Explore the intricate world of insects and wildflowers in a focused macro photography workshop designed to sharpen your technical control and observational skills.
I’ll teach you how to work at true close range — including lens selection, depth of field management, lighting control, and practical focus stacking techniques. You’ll learn how to stabilize your setup, control background distraction, and bring out texture, color, and detail without overwhelming your subject.
This is hands-on instruction in real field conditions. We move carefully, work deliberately, and respect the living subjects we photograph. I provide direct feedback throughout the session, helping you refine both technique and patience.
The objective is simple: leave with stronger macro images, a deeper understanding of your equipment, and the confidence to capture small subjects with clarity and intention.
When clicking on the buttons above, please ensure that you are clicking the correct button for the workshops that you are interested in. Each button sends an email but each with a different preformatted subject line, so if you want information about a wildlife photography workshop, please ensure that you are clicking the button directly below “Wildlife”. You will still need to write an email as only the subject line is pre-formatted.
Your email will need to contain your name and contact details so that I can respond to your request.
Please note that ALL workshops require that you already possess your own camera and other requisite ancillaries (lenses, tripods, etc) relevant to the workshop that you wish to attend.
There are blog posts on this site with more details about each type of workshop, including the locations of the workshops, relevant equipment, and if the workshop is a normally scheduled one and not a private workshop that I have been asked to put on, the the dates of upcoming workshops also. Please click on the “Blog” button on the menu bar at the top of the page to look for posts regarding workshops.
