BIRD PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOPS - CANADA, ECUADOR, COSTA RICA AND MORE

Glenn Bartley is a professional nature photographer from Victoria, British Columbia on Canada's west coast.  He focuses on capturing intimate portraits of birds in their natural surroundings. Glenn strives for what he calls “clean” images – where the subject is clear, distracting elements are kept to a minimum and the background is pleasingly blurred out of focus. Glenn’s work has been published widely throughout North America in books and magazines (such as Birder’s World, Birding & Bird Watchers Digest).  His most recent book is entitled – “Birds in Ecuador: A Photographic Journey.” Glenn loves to share his passion for photography and for the natural world with those who attend his photographic workshops and with participants of www.naturescapes.net where he is a moderator in the Birds forum.

What makes Glenn's photography workshops different from the competitors?

  • Glenn focuses on more personalized attention,instruction and guidance.
  • Glenn is regarded one of the world’s top professional photographers in bird portrait photography. Just go pick up a birding magazine and you will almost certainly find his images.
  • Glenn often utilizes local guides with years of experience in their home areas.
  • Glenn has more experience.  He has been to the places that he will take you – not for a week or two – but for months!!  Glenn knows where to get the best possible images and can show you how to achieve them. 
  • Having completed his Msc. in Environmental Studies Glenn is very environmentally and socially aware.  When we visit communities around the world we give something back to these places and the people who live there.
  • Glenn's Photography Workshops will be fun too!

PHOTOGRAPHER BIOGRAPHY:

I have been enchanted by nature, birds and wildlife for as long as I can remember. Growing up in Toronto, Canada I can recall countless hours spent glued to National Geographic magazines, natural history books or watching David Suzuki's "The Nature of Things" on TV. Those days I took any opportunity I had to study and learn about animals of all kinds. Nowadays I often find myself up at the crack of dawn, knee-deep in mud or covered in mosquitoes all in pursuit of capturing just a glimpse of natures beauty. Although I enjoy photographing all of mother natures fascinating creatures. I tend to focus on birds. Why birds? I think it's because there are so many species of birds, they can be found almost anywhere, they are challenging to photograph and they are beautiful to watch. I love birds!

I will continue to strive to improve my craft of bird photography, and capture some part of the beauty that surrounds us all. Along the way I look forward to sharing my passion for nature photography, birds and the natural world with each and every one of you. Thanks for visiting. I hope you enjoy my site.
