Dimbangombe Photography Workshop

Join Our Cattle Photography Workshop

Unlock the art of wildlife photography by starting with an unexpected yet captivating subject—our habitat management herd! This full-day workshop at Dimbangombe Conservancy is designed for photographers of all skill levels who want to enhance their ability to capture animals in their natural environment, all within a more controlled and relaxed setting than photographing elusive wild game.

Participants will learn how the same techniques—mastering exposure, lighting, composition, and movement—apply to photographing everything from cattle to charismatic species like elephants and lions. Cattle, with their varied forms, textures, and dynamic interactions, provide an ideal introduction to these principles, allowing you to safely practice and perfect your skills before venturing into the world of more unpredictable wildlife.

With our picturesque landscapes and a supportive learning environment, you’ll have the opportunity to capture powerful images of our herd against the dramatic backdrops of Dimbangombe. The workshop will also delve into the history and impact of Holistic Management, offering insights into how wildlife and livestock can coexist and contribute to ecosystem regeneration.

What You’ll Learn:

Applying wildlife photography principles to cattle for compelling shots
Understanding the interplay of light and shadow on form and texture
Mastering the basics of exposure & composition
Developing a photographic style that transitions seamlessly from livestock to wildlife subjects

Our expert instructors will provide personalised guidance, feedback, and in-depth insights into how these skills translate to photographing Africa’s iconic wildlife. Plus, you’ll leave with an enriched understanding of Dimbangombe’s mission to regenerate land and livelihoods.
