WHF
Direct Photographic Workshops are aimed at
photographers of all levels (beginner to advanced) wishing
to learn and take the best pictures of both big and small cats
in a relaxed atmosphere.
Learn the techniques that professionals have used for years
to get their special shots for book covers and magazines.
Coming direct with WHF you get a specially structured tour
of the site.
You get full tuition - learning how to get the best from
your camera in simple talk, learn the most up to date
information about photography and about the cats.
Check the events calendar for our current Photo workshops.
The days are very popular and we get international interest.

The team is both knowledgeable and friendly always looking at
getting you the best photos available.
We accommodate small groups only. You can support the cats direct and gain
special unrivalled access to the cats that no other
photographic workshop is able to provide. They
remain within their enclosures, but photographers are
permitted within the safety fences, unlike other parks.
You will be the first to be invited to see any new arrivals on site. When you provide you e-mail address at the end of your day you will be sent a photographic tips document and a list and picture package of all the cats to assist in your naming of the cats you have met.
Join us to have the best day in your life!
Equipment to bring:
Bring all your equipment with you. The
recommended lens is in the region of 70-300mm or
equivalent. Most modern compact cameras can easily match
this too, so bring it along either as your main camera
or a back up.
Some of the best shots taken on site are taken with the
smaller cameras. Otherwise you can use anything from
fish eye to 800mm if you wish.
Don't forget spare batteries, memory cards/back up computer, rubber lens hood if you have one, kneeling pads if you have them and waterproofs.
You will not require mono pods or tripods.
