ADVANCED WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP
with Matt Krumins Photography
CHANGE THE WAY YOU SHOOT
Achieve sharper details, crisper motion and a deeper story in your wildlife photographs… but without the jargon and ego. This workshop focuses on practical, real-world decision making with your settings, mastering your focus methods as well as building story into your compositions.
MASTER SETTINGS
Get a thorough understanding of the settings needed to capture compelling images. Get to know their trade-offs and how to balance your decisions.
SHARPER SHOTS
Get crisper details and make your photos come to life by mastering your lenses and focus modes.
TELL A STORY
Transform your images from photographs of 'animals' to images that evoke feelings and stories.
WORKSHOP DETAILS
Small groups = More Personalisation.
ALL BRANDS ALL MODELS
Do you want a personalised approach specific to your camera? You’ve found it. With years of experience and thousands of workshop participants you’d be hard pressed to find a camera brand or model that I don’t know my way around.

EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS
You’ll need a camera with access to full manual settings including Aperture Priority & Shutter Priority mode. Please make sure you have a fully charged battery and space on your memory card.
Wildlife photography is generally best done with a telephoto lens. I recommend an equivalent of 300mm or more. If you’re on a crop sensor camera (not full frame) this means you would want something that is at least 200mm. If you’re not sure, give me a call on 0402 812 805.
If you have a monopod it can be a great opportunity to get to know this piece of gear. If not, no stress monopods can be useful but are not essential. Tripods are discouraged.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
In photography we never stop learning so there is always something to take away no matter what your experience level. That said, this workshop delves into some pretty detailed topics and so I recommend having a good understanding of exposure compensation and basic camera function before taking this one on.
Victoria can be a funny place when it comes to weather so regardless of the forecast I always recommend bringing a waterproof jacket as even on a sunny day Victoria can show it’s unique ability to change on a dime! If we have minor drizzle or patchy showers we will be out shooting still as many parts of the sanctuary are undercover and as a bonus we will have less people to contend with!
If we do have significant rain forecast you will be invited to book onto a different workshop date that suits your schedule. A judgement call will be made 5 days out from the workshop and a further assessment the day before.
My Wildlife Photography Workshop covers entry to Healesville Sanctuary for the day and can also be contributed towards a membership at the end of the session. You’ll need to bring or purchase lunch/snacks/coffee etc.
The workshop its self includes a HUGE notes pack with QR code links to video tutorials as well as my standard laminated quick reference cards for the settings and composition ideas covered.
Your workshop is always a small group giving you plenty of one-on-one instruction as well as personal attention relevant to your camera brand and model.
Also, I believe that photography concepts take practice and time so at the conclusion of your workshop you will be invited to an exclusive online support group on Facebook where you can continue to grow your photography alongside other Matt Krumins Photography Workshop participants!
WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING?
I walked away with so much new knowledge, but also a newfound confidence in my own abilities. The whole workshop was not only educational but also a lot of fun. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to take their photography skills to the next level while having a great time doing it!
I highly recommend
For anyone looking for a fun, relaxed, and easy to understand workshop, I highly recommend Matt's workshops. His ability to take technical concepts and break it down to something easy to understand (and actually remember) is the real value-add. This is my second workshop and definitely won't be my last!
Recently I booked a face to face session with Matt as I was stuck as to what to do next with my (very old, think prehistoric) camera kit!
You can read all the other reviews here, buy what strikes me about Matt is his incredible passion for photography and how important it is to him for others to really experience that.
Moreover, I was surprised after booking one of his pre-recorded courses that he insisted on refunding me the cost because "it was out of date". Honestly, it was slightly out of date at worst, so much so it made no difference! Than again, shortly after our recent one on one session, much to my surprise he rang me as he wanted to share something he had since found out with me.
This from a guy who has so many commitments.
I also must mention his referral to Nigel at Camera House in Croydon helped me no end, and saved me a few dollars as well!
I can't recommend MKP highly enough!
... and because you asked, courses I've done with Matt:
Travel & Street, Advanced Wildlife, Melbourne by Night, various online courses!
On my bucket list: Lightroom, Speedlight at a minimum!
Thanks for a great day!
Workshops I’ve done include Master Your Speedlight, Advanced Wildlife and Beginners Lightroom Classic. There is always something new to learn!
Matt’s workshop has made me think differently about my composition and what exactly I’m trying to achieve.
