New for 2011: We are working with accomplished videographer and photographer Morley Read to make dSLR instruction available.

Join us for a unique experience with a tour documenting the diversity of frogs, lizards, snakes, and insects with macro photography in the Amazon Rainforest. This workshop will focus on methods for working with wildlife, creativity, photographic equipment and digital photography technique, as well as scientific and environmental applications of photography. We believe that photography is a central means for both documenting biological diversity and conveying the natural beauty and value of nature to the world. Come with us for this once in a lifetime adventure in a wild corner of the wildest ecosystem on Earth: the Amazon Rainforest.

We hold our workshops at the world renowned Tiputini Bioiversity Station in the heart of Amazonian Ecuador. Tiputini holds some of the greatest biological diversity on earth, and you will have the opportunity of photograph and/or take video of hundreds of species of reptile, amphibian and insect, along with macaws, toucans, 12 species of monkeys, and many other forest dwellers.

Expeditions are led by Paul S. Hamilton, PhD, an ecologist who applies photography in both scientific and artistic realms. His work has been featured in numerous publications, and his artwork is displayed in the homes of over 100 clients. He has been traveling to and capturing images of Ecuador for the past 10 years.

Best of all, about half of your registration fees go directly back into our organization to help with our important work in conservation ecology.
