  • How to use light, background, habitat, and atmosphere to make your subject stand out

  • How to build images with more depth, intention, and emotional impact
  • How to move beyond simple record shots and create photographs that feel more complete and professional

Here's What Some Of Our Attendees Had To Say...

SPECIAL GIVEAWAYS BROUGHT TO YOU BY Delkin Devices

We’ve partnered with Delkin Devices, a trusted maker of high-quality memory cards and photography accessories, to give away professional-grade memory cards during this live training.

During the live session, we’ll be raffling off two Delkin memory card prizes:

  • Delkin Devices 512GB POWER UHS-II SDXC Memory Card — $500 value
  • Delkin Devices 512GB POWER 4.0 CFexpress Type B Memory Card — $390 value

For wildlife photographers, reliable memory cards matter. Fast action, long bursts, high-resolution files, and video can put a lot of pressure on your gear. The last thing you want is to miss a great moment because your card can’t keep up.

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.

Common Questions

Everything you'd want to know before joining

What exactly do I get when I join?
No. Most members join because they feel stuck, regardless of experience level. The photo contests have separate Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced skill levels. The trainings cover both core field techniques and more advanced concepts. And the critiques are designed to show you what to work on next, not make you feel behind. Many of our most active members started as complete beginners.

Many of our most active members started as complete beginners.

Working, published wildlife photographers whose work has appeared in National Geographic, BBC Wildlife, Audubon, and other major publications. Instructors include Simon d’Entremont, Steve Perry, Matt Kloskowski, Glenn Bartley, Russell Graves, and many others. These are photographers who know what it takes to make meaningful progress in the field.

Every live training and critique session is recorded and added to the archive immediately. You can watch on your own schedule. The recordings do not expire. Once you are a member, you have access to every session we have done.

How is this different from a workshop?
A typical wildlife photography workshop can cost $2,000 to $5,000 and gives you a few days of instruction. Then you go home and you are on your own again. The Journal gives you a new live training every month, ongoing contests and critiques, a full learning library, and a community that is there year-round, for a fraction of the cost and without the travel, time off work, or physical demands.

Both memberships include the same features: live trainings, contests, critiques, the magazine, the archive, and the community. The difference is duration and contest entries. Annual Plus gives you 5 free contest entries per month. Lifetime gives you 10 free entries per month, plus 15% off all future purchases. It is a one-time payment and you never pay again.

Every membership comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you join and it is not what you expected, you get your money back. Annual Plus members can also cancel anytime. There is no long-term commitment because we do not need one.

You already know something isn't working.

The Journal gives you the feedback, the instruction, and the community to stop guessing and start seeing real change in your work. 26,000+ photographers already have.
