RED DEER PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP

MORE ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

This workshop takes place in either Bushy Park or Richmond Park, with a focus on photographing Red Deer during their rutting season. If we’re lucky enough to witness two stags rutting, it’s truly one of the most spectacular wildlife encounters the UK has to offer.

The workshop runs throughout early October, when the rut is in full swing. I typically offer these sessions on a 1-to-1 basis to minimise disturbance to the deer and to ensure you receive my full attention and guidance. However, I’m happy to accommodate two participants for a joint booking if preferred.

We’ll begin the session approximately 45 minutes before sunrise, and it will run for around 4 hours. Early mornings offer the best conditions fewer people in the park and the possibility of capturing the deer in stunning golden hour light.

Equipment Required

  • Camera

  • Focal length of at least 400mm would be best for portraits images, the stags are full of testosterone during this time of year and can be aggressive, so it’s important that we keep a respectful distance.

  • For environmental images I would recommend a focal length of 70 - 200mm

  • Tri-pods may be useful if you are looking to capture video footage.

  • Spare batteries and SD cards.

  • Warm and waterproof clothing. October mornings can be very chilly, I would recommend warm clothing.

  • Wellies or waterproof shoes. Areas of the park can be boggy, I would recommend wearing wellies or hiking boots to protect your feet.

  • Snacks or a pack lunch/breakfast

Investment on workshop: £120 per person or £220 for a double booking.
