Pam works with photography specialists to give students the opportunity to photograph beautiful live animals up close in a controlled setting.

    Contact Pam for more information, or follow the link at the bottom of the page for the next wildlife close-up photography workshop.

    Here's what you can expect when you attend a workshop:

    First, a photography specialist discusses techniques for close-up photography with students.

     Next, Pam presents an animal to the classroom which will later be available for photos. Pam brings the animal around the classroom, offering basic information about its biology and  behavior.  As students become familiar with the way the animal looks and moves, they also hear about its role in the environment, and  how to approach it safely and appropriately during the session.

    Finally, the photography specialist and Pam work together to position the animal in a  variety of settings which will provide interesting and accessible opportunities for close-up photography by the students.  Students are not allowed to handle or move the animal.  Pam will be working to insure the animal's comfort and the safety of class participants at all times.

    Two to four animals may be presented during a workshop.  Animals will be available for photography one at a time, on a rotating basis to give them appropriate rest time.

   Sessions can be booked one-on-one with Pam, or through a photography workshop.  The next photography workshop open to the public is:
