WORKSHOP DETAILS

  • Here at Wild Arena, we have long been involved in Macro photography and we have built up a wealth of knowledge in this area with regards to the photography and the subjects. Working with our good friends at Wilkinson Cameras and Animal Teach, we're really pleased to be able to offer an informative half day in a well set up studio with fantastic subjects. Before the session we will send through a video presentation on getting started with macro photography, so if you are new to the subject this should really help you get a good understanding of the common problems and how to solve them. Of course, the photography guide who will be with the group throughout the session can go over any questions or queries you may have on the subject.

    The session will begin with a welcome tea/coffee and the Wild Arena tutor will go through the camera setup for the session and what subjects we will have available. You will then have the opportunity to capture your own pictures, of these exciting animals, on a bespoke set up to ensure you go away with captivating images. With a small group size of only 6 there will be plenty of time for each person to get images. We will be working with two setups throughout the day, one showing how to get the best from constant lighting and one from studio lighting. These sets will work in very different ways, but this should allow you to leave the session with plenty of information on different lighting scenarios.

    So, if you are new to macro photography or would simply like access to the amazing subjects on offer then this is the perfect session for you. Your guide will be on hand to help you with the relevant macro equipment and the Wilkinson Cameras staff will be on hand to offer further help and guidance

GUEST SHOWCASE

  • Miles - Macro Photograpy Workshop

    Thank you so much for the amazing macro photography workshop held at Wilkinson in Liverpool, in association with Wild Arena and Animal Teach.

    Kevin has a very quiet and gentle way of ensuring that delegates learn to create great photographs, way better than they could ever have hoped for. He patiently helps to set the stages and works with Naomi to present a variety of creatures with expert lighting and backgrounds, then suggests camera settings, and guides each individual as the work with these subjects.

    I cannot recommend Kevin more highly, he is great to be around, a quiet genius who inspires as well as teaches. I can’t wait to sign up for some additional sessions with him.

  • Sue - Macro Photography Workshop

    "I highly recommend a macro photography session with Kevin Morgans, Animal Teach, and Wild Arena at the Wilkinson' camera shop in Liverpool. Great experience, beautiful animals, and loads of help and advice from Kevin Morgans. Naomi really knows her animals and keeps them in tip top condition too"

  • Joanne - Macro Photography Workshop

    “Just spent the day on the Macro workshop with Kev and Naomi in Liverpool. Wow. What an experience. So patient and knowledgeable. I’m very new to photography and a complete novice, Thought I was out of my depth but was quickly reassured by Kev that anyone can learn to use their camera and get amazing shots. I certainly felt that I did this”

    Thanks for the experience

  • Phil - Macro Photography Workshop

    “Dear Kev, Naomi, Wild Arena, and the Wilkinsons Team, Thank you for an excellent and informative workshop in Liverpool. 

    I believe that all of the clients enjoyed your session, and we got some great images of the well-behaved subjects. You provided good advice for each of us individually, and we each commented on how much we had learned about our macro photography, whatever our experience. Some of us were using manual settings for the first time, some were using different lens setups, and others were trying focus stacking. All of us found the use of the perspex panels a game-changer for our compositions. The lighting setup at the store also allowed some experimentation at the end of the day. Naomi's subject selection, use of backgrounds, and handling experience were invaluable”

    Thank you for a superb day.
