Healesville Sanctuary Wildlife Photography Course
(+3 more dates)
Description
Our most popular outdoor event!
Our Wildlife Photography course at Healesville Sanctuary is excellent for native animal and bird photography.
Healsville sanctuary is perfect for learning wildlife photography and a bird lovers’ paradise. The animals are close and sometimes personal! The bird aviaries are well-designed and perfect for close photography without carrying huge lenses. The spirit of the sky arena display is the climax of our class, and my team will be with you at every stage to ensure you get great results.
What do I bring, and what level of skill do I need?
Your Camera (Obviously!), batteries, and cards for lots of great photos.
Medium and bigger zooms are perfect for this class. We cater to all skill levels, from novices to master photographers and ages 9 to 99. Just bring your camera and your enthusiasm
How many people are in the class, and how many teachers?
Unlike many Melbourne Camera Schools, we prefer small groups. So, we take a small group of six students and two teachers. So each student receives maximum attention.
Feel free to stay after the class so that you can use the skills learned to catch one more great image.

Who am I
My name is Alwyn Hanson, I have been teaching photography for over 30 years in Melbourne. I have worked with and taught over 30,000 people including new users as well as training groups such as Victoria Police, MFB and many Government Departments.
I believe in teaching photography in a simple, logical way rather than boring lectures. My classes are short, practical and complete. Most are three hours long (My experience is longer classes don't always achieve good results)
I teach photography and software based on classes that have run with great success in my previous position as manager of Michaels Media School in the Melbourne CBD.
I am passionate about teaching and want you to use YOUR camera to take great photos.
I can teach you in a class or if you prefer at your home, cafe or local park.
You tell me what you want and I can make it happen.
Why Alwyns Photo School is different.
We believe in working WITH all the special features on the camera,NOT turning them all off and going manual. The camera companies have spent millions in development, so why reinvent the wheel. We can teach YOU how to take great photos on YOUR own digital camera.
Alwyns Photo School, making great photography easier.
