Great wildlife photographs are built long before the shutter is pressed. Donna reveals how preparation, patience, and place come together to create award-winning images.

Understand fieldcraft in depth, learn how to read landscapes, understand animal behaviour, and recognise subtle cues that reveal where to be, and when, before lifting the camera.

Donna explains the role of light, showing how its quality, direction, and timing shape mood and meaning, and how small shifts in position or perspective can transform an ordinary encounter.

She shares her editing process, demonstrating how post-processing is used to simplify the frame, guide the viewer’s eye, and strengthen emotional impact without overworking the image.
