There’s something special about slowing down, watching wildlife move through their world, waiting for just the right moment to click the shutter. If that kind of photography calls to you, this three-day workshop in Pt. Reyes likely will too.

Join Jen Waicukauski—Looking Glass owner, teacher, certified California Naturalist and 2024 Audubon Top 100 Photographer—for a small-group photography experience built for folks who already know their way around a camera and are looking for something new and meaningful. This is more than a workshop—it’s a creative adventure that’ll fill your heart with inspiration and your memory card with magic.

The Details:

Dates:
May 19th, 20th, and 21st (Monday–Wednesday)

May 19 & 20:
We’ll be out in beautiful Pt. Reyes in Marin County from sunrise to sunset—two full days of hands-on learning, photographing, and soaking in the natural world. (Exact locations may shift depending on conditions and wildlife activity.)

May 21:
We gather at Looking Glass in Berkeley for an indoor session focused on image review, editing, and creative storytelling. We’ll start at 10:00am and go until everyone feels good about their work. And if time permits, we’ll each leave with a print, too!

On the Agenda:

•  How to see and use light to your advantage (no flashlights required)
• Finding your photographic voice and developing your unique style
• Mastering your gear for better composition and control
• Wildlife tracking tips for finding your subjects without disturbing them
• Shooting in the wild—how to adapt to nature’s curveballs
• Ethical exploration and how to photograph without harm
• Telling visual stories that connect and move people
• Editing secrets that turn solid shots into stunners
• One-on-one support from Jen to refine your final images

What You'll Need:

• A laptop with your preferred editing software (Jen demos with Adobe)
• A solid understanding of your camera’s manual settings (ISO, aperture, shutter speed)
• An interchangeable lens camera, a telephoto lens, and—if you have one—a macro lens for fun. Looking Glass also offers rentals!
