Roe Deer Photo Workshop

I am delighted to bring you a unique opportunity to photograph the wild roe deer of the South Downs National Park in Hampshire. I have spent the past 5 years perfecting the art of stalking and building up an unrivalled portfolio of images. The roe deer is one of only two native species of deer in the UK (the other being the red deer) and is arguably the harder of the two to photograph. 

You can now join me on a One-to-One workshop, where I can help you learn the art of stalking deer, master the necessary photography skillset and hopefully allow you to start (or build upon) your own roe deer portfolio.

When to go
​The best time to photograph roe deer is during the summer months when the males are busy rutting and the females are receptive to their advances. I work on private land and have a great deal experience photographing at this time of year. I highly recommend a workshop between the months of June and August to maximise the opportunities to capture the deer in their prime.

What you need to bring
If you are using a DSLR or a mirrorless system with interchangeable lenses, you will need to ensure your focal length is the equivalent of at least 400mm. (preferably longer). Some bridge cameras can work well, but when the light levels drop, sometimes their focus systems struggle. 

In regards to clothing, you don't need to wear camouflage, but you need to ensure you are dressed suitably for the weather and where neutral colours - greys, greens and tan colours are all suitable. 
How to book
The best way to book or arrange your One-to-One photo workshop is to contact me directly.
