THE HEART & SOUL OF BABY ANIMALS

JEFF WENDORFF

Baby animals are especially beautiful. It’s a pretty universally accepted fact of life. It’s hard to resist feeling it when presented with a photo of all babies, with few if any exceptions.

We love photographer Jeff Wendorff’s baby animal pics for their wild and sweet nature, and we’re not alone.

Wendorff, a full time professional outdoor and wildlife photographer and workshop leader, leads a special Baby Wildlife Photography Workshop.

As with all of his workshops, Wendorff has photographed the baby animal locations many times, so he knows the best spots to find them at their best.

Soft morning light and low golden evening light are Wendorff’s favorite time to shoot. He fills the rest of his days with teaching and post production activities.

After his first trip to Africa, Wendorff, a longtime wildlife enthusiast, turned his passion into a professional pursuit with the encouragement of his friend and photography mentor, David Middleton.

The photography workshop provides a rare opportunity to focus your camera on wild baby animals in magnificent setting. You will get the opportunity to meet up with at least 8 species.

There’s no way to know in advance exactly how many species or even which species you will be photographing each day. But Wendorff makes a plan the night before the workshop, which is usually accurate.

After each day’s photo safari, Wendorff reviews each participant's photos, offering critiques and advice. He also teaches photography principles and techniques.

If you aren’t ready to take a workshop, but would love some beautiful photos, check you can purchase Wendorff’s prints here.
