If you love getting out and about in nature, and want to learn how to capture beautiful wildlife photographs then this is the workshop for you!

During this Richmond Park photography workshop, you will learn how to capture exciting, creative wildlife images through ‘in the field’ tutorials in front of the majestic Red and Fallow deer that occupy the Royal park. There are countless beautiful backdrops, including Silver Birch Tree copses, lone Oak Trees, ferns and lakes, ensuring you will come away with beautiful images to be proud of.

At the same time as learning the technical side of photography, we will talk a lot about the thought process of creating (not just taking) photos. I will offer tips on composition, guide your photographic eye and help you develop a proactive photography mindset, ensuring you can apply your new found skills to any given situation when photographing in the future.

Subjects covered:
•	Tips and tricks for creative compositions
•	The importance of backgrounds in wildlife photography
•	Making the most of the available light
•	Focusing modes for pin sharp wildlife images
•	Histogram and the importance of exposing to the right
•	How to photograph wildlife respectfully
•	Story-telling and the art of photographing a single scene in many different ways

Wildlife Photography Workshop in Richmond Park at Sunset

Come and join Matthew for a guided tour of his exhibition "Individuals", a wildlife photography exhibition of photos from the Maasai Mara in Kenya. During the talk, Matthew will walk around the exhibition with you, giving you stories behind how the photos came about, and tips on how to improve your wildlife photography using creative compositions, interesting light and finding ways to tell stories. There will be plenty of time to ask questions and have open discussions too. Drink included.

The exhibition "Individuals" focuses on telling the personal stories of the animals Matthew spent time with in the Maasai Mara. By highlighting these unique, personal stories and showing animals to be emotional individuals rather than just an anonymous statistic in a wider population, he hopes to promote a desire to protect and care for this precious wildlife. Through the exhibition, he is supporting Mara Predator Conservation Programme (MPCP) and Conservancy Guardians with the amazing work that they do in the Mara. You can read more about the exhibition here.

The exhibition itself is free to enter, so if you can't make the guided talk, please do feel free to just come along at any point. The exhibition is running from 22 June to 2 July at 19 Kensington Park Road, London, W11 2EU and is open from 10am to 6pm daily.

Wildlife Photography Talk at Photography Exhibition

Help preserve our wildlife by raising money to contribute to the infrastructure and charity initiatives that keep animals safe. Wildlife can only be wild if we allow it to be under safer and natural circumstances. The man-made features of earth are very damaging and need to be controlled with wildlife in mind.
