Nature photographers won’t want to miss this session with Nat Hab Expedition Leader and wildlife photographer extraordinaire Richard de Gouveia. Today, Richard will run through the natural settings, wildlife and photography challenges one is faced with when trying to capture images in the jungle. Learn how to prepare for and manage low-light conditions, particularly when attempting to photograph gorillas or chimps. Richard draws from his years of experience in Uganda and Rwanda, teaching you how to get the most out of your camera in order get the best images possible — so you can go home with a compelling record of these life-altering moments! Learn what he keeps in his camera bag, how to be ready for the perfect photo moment, and a bit about composition and storytelling, too. Richard leads our Ultimate Gorilla Photo Safari and also guides for Nat Hab in South Africa, Botswana and Madagascar, where he has developed deep expertise as a nature photographer and instructor.
