Meet Your Instructor
Joshua Galicki
Josh is an award winning wildlife photographer based in Washington, DC. He spends the majority of his time out in nature locally and also visits remote and wild places whenever possible. He grew up in rural Pennsylvania, which provided the opportunity to observe and appreciate birds since he was a child.
It began with songbirds in his backyard and later led to exploration in polar regions, cloud forests, deserts, and isolated islands across the globe. Josh constantly strives to bring the beauty of nature to life while being informative through his imagery. Some of the best natural experiences can be waiting out the back door and it’s his hope that more and more people are inspired to be curious and start observing what’s immediately around them.
What to Expect
Here's What Our Live Trainings Are Like
Each month, we host a live 90-minute training led by an award-winning wildlife photographer, followed by a live Q&A where you can ask questions and get direct feedback.
These sessions cover both field techniques and post-processing, so you can improve how you capture images and how you finish them.
You’ll see how experienced photographers approach real situations, make decisions in the moment, and handle challenges like difficult light, fast action, and editing choices that impact the final image.
If you can’t attend live, every session is recorded and added to the full training library so you can watch anytime.
