Course Description

Overview

Save Big on Coursera Plus. 7,000+ courses at $160 off. Limited Time Only!

By the end of this class, you will have your very own captivating wildlife portrait.

After over 11 years of experience and being shortlisted in The British Photography Awards, these are my top tips.

This class will teach you what the key elements of a wildlife portrait are and how to use them in your own work. For me, these are:

  • knowledge of the animal
  • creating a connection
  • head angles
  • the importance of the background in composition
  • balance & flow
  • light
  • editing

This class is for anyone looking to improve their wildlife photography or even to take better photos of their pets. A working knowledge of how to use your camera would be beneficial.

You will need a camera (a phone will do for tame animals) and photo editing software to complete the class project.

I will be adding more courses related to photography in the future so please give me a follow if you enjoy this class to stay up to date. I'm also on Instagram if you'd like to connect there too.
