Photography Workshop
Our wildlife experience combined with our photographic skill is what sets  us apart. That, together with the locations we
choose, make for an unforgettable workshop experience.

Not only do we live and work in the bush 24/7 we have been doing it for 15 years. We choose locations that offer value for money and good wildlife sightings, our workshops are designed around animal movements and concentrations in the various locations. We try and keep our groups small to offer more personal attention and to create an intimate and exclusive atmosphere. We like to encourage creativity as we all learn from a new perspective. On all workshops there are notes and loads of practical tuition out in the field or on the vehicle. Most people arrive with a common interest but invariably leave as friends.

Workshop Content

  • Introduction to wildlife photography

  • Animal behaviour - How to approach animals, getting close,                safety, fright or flight, comfort zones, working with nature, hides etc. (vehicles, boats, aircraft.)

  • How to use your camera - making sense of the jargon.

  • Capturing the moment - Seeing and utilising photographic opportunities in the wild, anticipating the shot, use of flash, equipment choice, setting up shots.

  • Composition - Designing the image. You have the opportunity, now compose a masterpiece!

  • Wildlife photography etiquette and field ethics.

July 2011 workshop - testimonial
Hi Adrian

Just wanted to thank you for all your help and advise when I was doing the booking for Sean's group last week.
I had an amazing time and am now busy trying to sort through all the photo's that I took and work out if any of them are any good.
The couple of days at Elephant Plains was great and spending time with someone like Sean who has so much knowledge on wildlife is also an experience.

Sean gave me a form to fill in, do you perhaps have a fax number for him?

Also can I ask when you are ready with next year's dates please drop me a line and let me know what you guys are planning for 2012! I would love to do another trip.

Keep well and thanks again.

Regards
Jacqui
The Sabi Sand is well known for sightings of the usually elusive leopard, giving us a very good chance of getting some amazing photographs. See elephants on the wildlife photography courses. Picture by Sean Pattrick.
