Master BIRD Photography

# SYDNEY BIRD PHOTOGRAPHY [Book here](https://theapertureclub.com.au/master-bird-photography/) for this 4 hr hands-on Workshop worth $220. Bird Photographing changes with the seasons and every time you venture out, weather and nature will influence each experience, making it a unique opportunity to observe wildlife at its best and make connections with nature. Photographer and tutor Sara Corlis will introduce you to small natural environments throughout Sydney. She has an ethical approach to Nature and Wildlife Photography, and when out in the field, will respectfully introduce you to endemic and migratory birds, as well as some backyard favourites. This 4-hr workshop will allow you to enter the landscape anonymously, find the birds and focus on capturing images that reflect not only portraits of birds in their environment, but also photograph their behaviours, interactions and individual personalities. **TUTORS**: 1 professional Photographer **CLASS SIZE**: Minimum 4 / Maximum 6 **DAY OF OPERATION:** Selected Saturdays
