Experience a fresh perspective on animal photography this spring at the Minnesota Zoo. Spring offers unique photographic opportunities—animals are more active, and the energy of the season brings new life to every scene. This three-part workshop is designed for photographers of all skill levels, combining educational instruction, hands-on shooting, and expert feedback to help you capture compelling images and elevate your photography.
We’ll wrap up the workshop with an online image review. Share your unique visual perspective from images captured at the Zoo and receive feedback from National Camera photo experts. Attendees will also have the opportunity to discuss their favorite images and ask questions.
The online review will run roughly an hour and a half and include time for questions. Both online portions of the workshop will be recorded for your convenience and will be available to review as many times as you like for 30 days.
