Photographing animals and birds in the wild is one of the most exciting but challenging genres of photography! The workshop will cover the key skills required to produce high quality images which are well composed, make the best use of light and capture character. The workshop is excellent preparation for going on a wildlife photography tour or outing.

Fiona has been in love with photography since her very early days growing up in Glasgow. Fiona clearly remembers her first camera, a Kodak Instamatic and how great it felt when she bought an Olympus Trip when she was 16! Fiona has developed her skills through self-study, attending courses at local colleges & training providers – alongside lots of practice and deletion of images!
Fiona has a keen interest in wildlife and nature photography, have a browse through her latest photos on Instagram.
