Join me to photograph wildlife at the British Wildlife Centre, Surrey
You will enjoy having a full-time wildlife photographer by your side. Under the guidance of multi award-winning professional photographer and tour guide Renato Granieri you will receive advice on using your camera, improving on your composition skills and understanding of wildlife. We will have the privilege to photograph some British wildlife from inside the enclosures; this might include red foxes, wildcats and other species. Whether you are a complete beginner or an experienced enthusiast that wants to work on a few techniques, Renato will be there to assist you!
This photography workshop includes:
What happens on the day?
– Meet and greet, briefing and plan for the day (tea/coffee provided)
– Photo session (red squirrels, foxes, Scottish wildcat)
– Photo session (harvest mice, otters, polecats, mink and water voles)
– End of photo session with the keeper
Note: program may change due to weather conditions and the availability of animals.

What’s next? As a follow up on this workshop, you will have the opportunity to get your images reviewed. The review session is highly recommended as you will learn what to improve on your own photos. Given the current circumstances, this session will be carried out on zoom and is priced separately. Cost is £20 pp (for 5 images to be reviewed) for full review, feedback and around 60 min zoom for discussion.
Location: This amazing location offers fantastic opportunities for photographing British wildlife. The centre has been especially created with large enclosures designed specifically with photographers in mind. Some of the major TV channels including the BBC use this venue regularly.
We will have the privilege to access into the pens with some of the animals so there will be no barriers or wire obscuring your view! You will come home with stunning photographs that would be extremely difficult in the wild, will have improved your photographic technique and learnt a great deal more about your camera and the wildlife. This is a workshop not to be missed.
Animals available at the centre include foxes, otters and wild cats – you will be able to enter all these enclosures for stunning photographs. Stoats, weasels, polecats, mink are all kept in enclosures carefully landscaped to provide really natural settings with logs, water and appropriate undergrowth. Other animals available include Badgers, roe deer, red deer, muntjac deer, snakes, water voles, frogs and more. This is a truly magnificent centre and provides unrivalled photo opportunities. Note that welfare of the animals is paramount and may occasionally mean entrance into one specific enclosure is not possible.
