Brown Hare Workshop
Join award-winning wildlife photographer Richard Campion for an exclusive, workshop dedicated to capturing the elusive Brown Hare in its natural habitat. Set in the stunning landscapes of Derbyshire, this workshop offers a unique opportunity to photograph Britain’s fastest land mammal in action. Known for their keen senses and incredible speed, Brown Hares can be a challenging subject, but with Richard’s expert guidance, you’ll learn how to approach them with patience and precision.
This workshop is offered on a 1-1 basis, allowing Richard to provide personalised instruction and ensure a stress-free experience for both you and the wildlife. By approaching the hares quietly on foot, we’ll minimize disturbance to their natural behavior.
Morning sessions begin 30 minutes before sunrise, lasting around 4 hours. Afternoon sessions are timed to meet 4 hours before sunset, offering ideal lighting conditions for capturing these incredible creatures.
