The Art of Nature Photography Workshop
Modern cameras are fantastic with accurate focus tracking and high burst rates so now it should be pretty easy to get a clear sharp image (once you get to know your camera). But where does that leave us if we want to stand out from other photographers and create exceptional images, especially in the world of nature photography? A bird is a bird and a flower is a flower so what can we do? The Art of Nature Photography Workshop will show you how we need to ignore the camera and think about the subject, the light, the composition, the perspective and how to tell a story. Only then will our viewers see our images as interesting, innovative or inspirational.
Use technology to release the ARTIST in you
Come with me, Henry Szwinto, on a journey where we can explore the creative and artistic side of nature photography. My 3 day Art of Nature Photography Workshop based in the New Forest, Hampshire, England will explore a variety of subjects including birds, butterflies, plants, fungi, deer, landscape and still life. We will look at traditional techniques as well as using slower shutter speeds, focus stacking and HDR.
Wildlife and Nature Photography Workshop sessions will be in various locations and at my home and will vary according to the calendar of the natural world. Sessions will total around 6 hours per day allowing plenty of time to relax and socialize and will include some dawn starts and sunset finishes. With a maximum of 4 delegates you will have time to ask questions and deal with specific topics.
Book your own travel and accommodation with economy options as well as luxury hotels. In addition to your Art of Nature Photography Workshop why not plan an extra few days to explore the History and Heritage of the New Forest and local area?

Testimonial:-
“For my visit from Germany (region of Duesseldorf) to England, I packed my wildlife gear, an EOS R5 and RF 100-500mm in 2022, R5M2 and RF 200-800mm in 2024. I had the idea of finding an experienced trainer, guide and good human being to show me wildlife in the region of Dorset and Wilshire. To find and get to know Henry Szwinto was a very lucky moment. Let me explain why:
When we met, I explained that I would like to find out more about wildlife photography, although I think as a trainer myself, I could handle the equipment.
But equipment is not important except for a longer lens plus macro lens and maybe a wide angle for landscape. Henry took me to the New Forest, Brownsea Island and Martin Down to see all kind of different wildlife and plants, light and conditions.
Whilst completely overwhelmed with the beauty of England, I was shooting away in high burst speed when meeting the wildlife animals and bringing home thousands of photographs to choose from. Henry’s camera only clicked occasionally and he took the better photos, despite the fact he “only“ used 400mm.
I learned such a lot from him, about finding the right moment to trigger, about plants, mushrooms, the behaviour and secrets of red deer, fallow deer, owls, birds, kingfisher and many more. We spoke about the light, what makes a photo stand out, how to tell a story in wildlife and nature photography.
And the best aspect was we become friends, so I meet Henry on a regular basis when I return to this beautiful area of England. Thank you so much for all that Henry, I appreciate it.
