Learn wildlife photography the way it’s actually practised — in the field, in front of real animals, under a mentor who corrects your settings and composition in the moment rather than in a classroom after the fact.
These workshops sit alongside our broader wildlife photography tours in India, and are led by Yogesh Bhatia, a wildlife photographer and mentor whose image of a spotted hyena carrying a newborn pup was shortlisted in the final round of the Wildlife Photographer of the Year (WPY) award by the Natural History Museum, London.
Photography courses and YouTube tutorials teach settings in isolation. A mentor in the field teaches you to read a situation — light, animal behaviour, and timing — and apply the right setting to it in real time, which is the actual skill wildlife photography demands.
Not every participant wants the same format, so workshops are structured around a few clear paths depending on your goals and schedule.
For photographers who want fully personalised pacing and feedback. See the Private 1-1 Wildlife Photography page for details.
Team offsites and corporate groups looking for a shared learning experience in the field. Details on the Corporate Wildlife Photography Workshops page.
Age-appropriate sessions that introduce younger participants to nature and camera basics. See School Camps & Kids’ Photography Workshops for age groups and format.
Small-group workshops run alongside our safaris in specific reserves, including a dedicated tiger photography tour and workshop format for participants focused specifically on big cats.
If you’re still deciding on equipment before your first workshop, our guide to the best camera and lens for photography breaks down practical options by budget and experience level.
Exact structure varies by workshop type and location — private mentoring is fully flexible, while reserve-based group workshops follow a fixed multi-day itinerary shared at the time of booking.
Workshops are personally led by Yogesh Bhatia, a wildlife photographer and mentor with decades of field experience across Indian and international habitats. Read more about his background and teaching approach on the About Us page, including his recognition in the Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition and coverage in national publications.
No. Workshops accommodate beginners as well as experienced photographers looking to sharpen specific skills. Guidance is adapted to each participant’s current level.
A DSLR or mirrorless camera with a telephoto lens (200mm or longer) is recommended for meaningful wildlife photography. If you don’t yet own one, we can advise on suitable options before you book.
Almost entirely in the field, alongside actual game drives or nature walks. Short indoor sessions may cover settings review or basic editing, but the core learning happens while photographing real wildlife.
A tour is primarily about the safari experience and photo opportunities. A workshop places equal or greater weight on structured teaching, feedback, and skill-building. Many participants combine both through our wildlife photography tours.
Cancellations 45 days or more before the workshop incur a 10% charge. Cancellations between 44 and 30 days before departure incur a 50% charge. No refunds are issued within 29 days of the start date.
