Looking for unique things to do in Sydney? Join this master bird photography workshop!
Bird photographing changes with the seasons and every time you venture out, weather and nature will influence each experience, making it a unique opportunity to observe wildlife at its best and make connections with nature.
Sara will introduce you to small natural environments throughout Sydney. She has an ethical approach to nature and wildlife photography, and when out in the field, will respectfully introduce you to endemic and migratory birds, as well as some backyard favourites.
Private tuition allows us to enter the landscape anonymously, find the birds and focus on capturing images that reflect not only portraits of birds in their environment, but also photograph their behaviours, interactions and individual personalities.
For those wanting a one on one approach we also have a dedicated private tuition session for bird photography from beginners to experienced photographers.
