The Wildlife Photography Workshop

The Wildlife Photography Workshop is an immersive, practical guide created by two leading professional wildlife photographers, Ross Hoddinott and Ben Hall. Designed as a “workshop in book form”, it offers the expert instruction, field techniques and creative insights you’d gain from attending an in‑person photography workshop—right from the comfort of home.

This comprehensive handbook covers every core aspect of wildlife photography, including equipment choices, exposure control, composition, natural light, close‑up techniques, and post‑processing. Whether you want to photograph birds, mammals, plant life or macro subjects such as insects, the authors provide step‑by‑step guidance that helps you develop confidence and technical precision.

Dedicated chapters explore different wildlife groups, with practical strategies for locating, approaching and photographing subjects ethically and effectively. The book also includes creative assignments designed to reinforce learning and encourage hands‑on practice, helping photographers of all levels expand their skills and refine their personal style.

Clear, engaging and richly illustrated with over 175 colour images, this is an indispensable resource for anyone passionate about wildlife, nature, and the art of photography.
