THEORY + PRACTICE

THE WORLD OF WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY IS MADE OF SILENCE, PATIENCE AND UNIQUE MOMENTS THAT ARISE WHEN WE MERGE WITH NATURE. THIS WORKSHOP IS DESIGNED TO BRING PHOTOGRAPHERS CLOSER TO ANIMALS, COMBINING ETHICS, TECHNIQUE AND FIELD EXPERIENCE.

This workshop offers an immersive experience where theory and practice complement each other. Fundamental topics will be covered, such as which are the best cameras and lenses, which are the best accessories, the exposure triangle, composition techniques, and which are the best settings for different situations in the field. Ethics in wildlife photography and respect for animals are a focus of the workshop and of any wildlife photographer.
Throughout the workshop, participants will have the opportunity to photograph fauna in natural environments. Practical sessions are accompanied by moments of analysis, feedback and sharing of experiences, promoting the technical and artistic growth of each photographer.
Ideal for those looking to develop a more complete vision of nature photography, this workshop is a gateway to capturing the most intimate and true side of wildlife, with awareness, technique and inspiration.

Learn on the field

In this advanced level workshop, learning takes place in the middle of nature, where decisions are real, animal behavior is unpredictable and the light is always challenging. Diogo Oliveira shares advanced techniques in the field for approaching, reading signals, adapting to natural light, and composition strategies to maximize visual impact without compromising photographic ethics. Each outing is an opportunity to apply technical knowledge to concrete situations, solve problems quickly and evolve as a photographer and naturalist. It is in the field that skills are honed, and each encounter with fauna is a unique lesson.
