20 sessions delivered across two vibrant tracks. Importantly, registration grants you a full

Why Attend?
Wildlife photography can be notoriously challenging, requiring more than just robust camera gear. It's about understanding animal behavior, anticipating key moments, and perfecting post-processing skills. As Scott Kelby himself notes, owning the best lens won't guarantee success if you lack the fundamental understanding of animal behavior.
The conference is designed to address these critical aspects of wildlife photography that often go unaddressed in traditional camera manuals. Key topics include fieldcraft and safari etiquette, techniques for capturing stunning bird photography, and strategies for photographing charismatic big cats. Moreover, attendees will also learn about fine-art wildlife photography and essential workflows for using Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop to enhance their images.
