In the Field Lessons with Real Examples
All lessons are shot in the field, and all theory is followed by examples in front of lions, cheetahs, elephants and more. It's a photographic safari from the comfort of your home.
Unique Immersive View
I have recorded my viewfinder. Watch as settings change and compositions come together, getting you behind the scenes and inside the mind of a professional wildlife photographer.
Cheat Sheets
Print them out, put them in your bag, and it's like having me there with you as your wildlife photography mentor 24:7. It also means you don't need to take any notes while completing the courses. I've done that for you!
Fun Challenges
For each lesson, I've suggested challenges to inspire you to get out and about with your camera. Wildlife photography is a practical skill, and the more time you spend actually photographing the better.
HI I'M MATTHEW, YOUR WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY MENTOR
I'm a professional wildlife photographer/filmmaker, obsessed by going the extra mile to create attention-grabbing, insightful, intimate and honest photographs. I've had solo exhibitions in London, worked with conservation charities such as Mara Predator Conservation Programme, and been recognised in competitions such as Greatest Wildlife Photographer Kenya, British Photography Awards and Travel Photographer of the Year.
I have taught over 1,000 people in person, helping passionate wildlife photographers like you take the best images of their lives, while working as resident photographer at Alex Walker's Serian Camps in the Maasai Mara and while leading workshops and photography holidays to destinations including Tanzania, Antarctica, Costa Rica and Madagascar.
I am so excited to now be able to share everything I have learned over the last 20 years in one place online and would be honoured to be your mentor and guide on your journey to mastering wildlife photography.

The cheat sheets are also really helpful.
