The Ingredients of a Great Bird Photograph

Join renowned bird photographer Alan Murphy for an inspiring and educational session that goes beyond the basics and dives deep into the art and craft of bird photography.

Whether you're capturing birds in flight, perched in their natural habitat, or interacting with their surroundings, Alan will guide you through the key elements that turn an ordinary image into an extraordinary one. From selecting your best shots out of thousands, to composing and cropping with intention, to mastering background, light, and perspective, this session will sharpen your creative eye and elevate your portfolio. You’ll even explore cutting-edge techniques like virtual reality and learn how to add drama, depth, and story to every frame.

Biography:
Alan Murphy, originally from England and Ireland, developed a passion for birds at a very young age. After moving to the U.S. in the early 1980s, he began using a camera and telephoto lens to aid in bird identification, a hobby that quickly evolved into a lifelong passion and, eventually, a full-time career. Alan’s work has earned numerous awards and graced nearly 100 magazine covers, including prestigious publications such as National Geographic and Life magazine. He is the author of several highly regarded educational eBooks and videos on bird photography and operates a full-time workshop business, traveling two weeks each month to lead small group sessions across the United States. Alan and his wife, Kim, reside in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado.
