Digital Wildlife Photography Workshop (Intermediate) at the Australian Museum


  • Australian Museum (map)

Deep dive into ethical wildlife photography and the intricacies of your digital camera in this interactive workshop for intermediate photographers.

Bring nature into focus in this in-depth workshop, led by award-winning nature photographer Angela Robertson-Buchanan. To begin, be awed by the 2023 Australian Geographic Nature Photographer of the Year, a South Australian Museum exhibition, then take that inspiration to the Australian Museum's pop-up photography studio in this three hour workshop for intermediate photographers.

Your mastery of your digital camera’s potential will be taken up a notch with advanced shooting techniques and tricks applicable to studio and field photography. Guided by Angela, learn, experiment and delve into the intricacies of camera modes, aperture, ISO and shutter speed, before putting your new skills to work by photographing objects from the Australian Museum's taxidermy collection as well as a selection of live native animals including possums, reptiles and a delightful tawny frogmouth named Trevor.

Angela will discuss the considerations around ethical wildlife photography and how to get that perfect shot, without disturbing your subject or their habitat.
