If you have a passion for wildlife photography and want to develop essential skills without having to travel, our Wildlife Photography Courses are perfect for you. Armed with your camera we’ll go deep into Richmond Park – the largest enclosed space in London – to photograph herds of Red and Fallow deer. Following the workshop, you will also have the opportunity to receive feedback on your images in a one hour online session with your tutor.
In a natural environment, you’ll get a hands-on experience of observing and photographing wild animals. As with all of our photography workshops at City Academy, you will learn from professional photographers with years of experience, and your amazing photos will reflect the level of teaching.
PLEASE NOTE
This course requires a digital DSLR or mirrorless camera with full manual controls. Please also provide any necessary props and accessories such as memory cards and spare batteries. If you don't have a camera you can borrow one from us.
