Win a Workshop
to Yellowstone this winter
On November 15th, 2023, we are going to pick one lucky subscriber of PhotoWILD Magazine to join Jared Lloyd & Annalise Kaylor on an all expense paid workshop to Yellowstone
There are very few places in North America that offer up the diversity of wildlife opportunities as Yellowstone National Park in the winter. As the icy fingers of Old Man Winter begin to take hold of the region, and the snows return to this land, wildlife responds by pushing down into lower elevations and concentrating in key areas throughout the park. Animals that once ranged over several million acres in the warmer months can now be found is dense numbers as they begin the arduous task of simply staying alive through the legendary winters of the Yellowstone.
Winter in Yellowstone is the ultimate destination on the North American continent for wildlife photographers. This snow capped Serengeti is unrivaled by any other place in the hemisphere. Bison stand crusted in hoarfrost, wolves trot across the empty expanses of white, bobcats prowl the banks of rivers, elk concentrate in impossible numbers at times, coyotes and red fox leap through the air plunging face first into the snow after deeply hidden rodents, and bald eagles flock to the edge of the rivers in droves to take advantage easy picking along the banks of the geothermal heated waters flowing out of Yellowstone.
This is wildlife photography at its best.
And from January 4th - 13th, 2024, one very lucky subscriber to PhotoWILD Magazine is going join us there.
This is an all expense paid workshop. We will take care of lodging during the workshop, all local transportation, meals, snow coaches, park passes, and gratuities. All you will have to do is get yourself to Bozeman, Montana, and we will take care of the rest.
All subscribers to PhotoWILD Magazine are eligible to win.
What is PhotoWILD Magazine?
PhotoWILD Magazine is the creation of professional wildlife photographer, Jared Lloyd.
Beginning his career as a wildlife photographer and conservation journalist in the early 2000s, Jared’s work is widely published and can be found in publications around the world such as National Geographic, BBC Wildlife, Audubon Magazine, and the Economist.
Combining his background in biology, natural history writing, and wildlife photography gave Jared a unique position in the field and he soon found himself guiding film crews for the BBC Natural History Unit, National Geographic, and PBS.
In response to a growing demand by aspiring wildlife photographers, Jared began leading photography workshops in 2009 to locations where he had extensive knowledge of the wildlife.
But it wasn’t long before he recognized that workshops were missing something thanks to the sensory overload photographers experienced in the field.
“I recognized pretty fast that no one hears you trying to talk about light, backgrounds, composition, or even technical settings when they are sitting on the side of a river with a huge bear running through the water straight toward their camera.”
But there was more to this under the surface.
“So many photographers now-a-days just travel the workshop circuit from one ‘canned experience’ to the next to build their social media portfolios without understanding how to find, approach, and put animals at ease. But if you can’t find the wildlife on your own, you will have a very difficult time being a wildlife photographer outside of workshop experiences.”
To address these issues, Jared founded the Journal of Wildlife Photography in 2017. But as the publication grew, and outside partners were brought into the company, the focus and direction of the Journal moved away from Jared’s original dream and began looking like every other blog or nature photography magazine on the market.
Wanting to return to his original goal of creating a publication that provided aspiring wildlife photographers articles, insight, and techniques that couldn’t be found anywhere else, Jared resigned from the Journal and created PhotoWILD Magazine - a resource where beginning photographers could learn the fundamentals and advanced photographers could learn the finer points and nuances necessary to finally break free from the plateaus we all become stuck on in our growth as photographers.
PhotoWILD Magazine braids together the art and science of wildlife photography to teach readers skillsets that are beyond the scope of both field workshops and other publications on wildlife photography.
Each issue is roughly 100 pages of ad free articles that range across the spectrum of topics from learning how to master the new and sophisticated autofocus systems in mirrorless cameras to how to identify and track animals to create photographs that would otherwise not be possible.
In addition to the digital magazine, Jared Lloyd, in collaboration with Annalise Kaylor, created the bi-weekly PhotoWILD Podcast that can be found on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and iHeart Radio.
The effectiveness and importance of field workshops for progressing as a wildlife photographer has never waned, however. And it’s for this reason that Jared continues to lead small group wildlife photography workshops, now in collaboration with professional conservation photographer Annalise Kaylor, from the breathtaking wilds of Alaska to the rainforests of Panama.
“Workshops are where we get to learn how to put it all into practice, to polish the skills we have learned, to ask questions, to have real-time feedback from working professional wildlife photographers, to talk shop, and to connect the dots all while in front of profoundly amazing photographic opportunities.”
And on November 15th, 2023, Jared will randomly select one lucky subscriber to PhotoWILD Magazine to join him and fellow podcast host, Annalise Kaylor, in Yellowstone National Park this winter for 8 unforgettable days of wildlife photography.
