This ngirungiru/South Island tomtit was photographed by Paul at the 2023 Get Closer Photography Tour.

Saturday (20th) and Sunday (21st): 9.30 am – 12 pm.

Prior to these tours Paul Sorrell is giving a free talk at Tūhura Otago Museum on Thursday 18th April, with helpful tips and tricks for wildlife photography.

For the tours Paul takes a select group on a guided walk through the ecosanctuary to practise photographing our beautiful native birds and environment.

Paul will share tips, tricks, and specialist knowledge for the perfect shot. Paul is an experienced nature photographer who is passionate about bringing art and nature together through photography. With a focus on lighting, backgrounds, and composition.

Paul credits his results to many hard hours of focus in the field. In 2021 he published a photography handbook, “Getting Closer: Rediscovering Nature Through Bird Photography”, a guide to connecting to nature using a photographer’s eye.

Join Paul in the café after the workshop to talk more about photographing birds.
