Wildlife Photography at Denver Zoo - with Virtual Seminar / Gallery

Overview

Join Mike's Camera and Denver Zoo for a wild photography workshop! You’ll get online class instruction followed by an early morning private, guided walking tour at the Denver Zoo, where you’ll get hands-on photography instruction before the doors opens to the public. Then you’ll be able to share the images you shot at the zoo with the group during a virtual follow-up image critique.

50% of the proceeds from this workshop will go towards supporting the Denver Zoo and its mission to inspire communities to save wildlife for future generations.

During the shoot, we will be breaking up into small group to allow for safe social distancing. Masks must be worn inside the Zoo at all times.
