This Bella Vista Photography workshop includes hands-on photo shoots at a private property location in Clemson, SC that was specifically designed for backyard bird photography. This shooting location offers multiple perches, water features, and two large photo blind structures, each large enough to each comfortably accommodate 5 photographers at a time. The birds are acclimated to the setting and come in relatively close to the blinds – typically within 10-25 feet.

Before our hands-on sessions in Clemson, we will have a live webinar session to get participants prepared with equipment and techniques. Then over a week after our hands-on in-person sessions, we will have a follow-up webinar when class participants can receive feedback on a selection of their workshop images. All webinar sessions will be recorded so they can be reviewed again afterward.

Professional nature photographer Mary Louise Ravese partners with award-winning bird photographer Alan Clark to co-teach this workshop. They offer lots of practical tips and guidance in the field and online classroom.
