1-on-1 Wildlife Photography Coaching (Online)
Personalized coaching for photographers who want better images, deeper understanding, and consistent success — no travel required.
Take Your Wildlife Photography Further — From Anywhere
Not everyone can join me in the field — but that doesn’t mean you should be stuck guessing why your images aren’t improving.
These 1-on-1 online wildlife photography coaching sessions are designed to give you the same thoughtful, personalized instruction I offer during in-person sessions, with a focus on:
Image critique and creative growth
Camera settings and customization
Understanding wildlife behavior and decision-making
Building confidence and consistency in the field
Whether you’re just getting started or refining your approach, this is focused time dedicated entirely to your photography.
What photographers are saying
“After switching from Canon to the OM-1 Mark II and 150–400, I was frustrated by my inability to get consistently sharp images. Todd guided me through a series of simple tests, reviewed my images in advance, and then walked through my settings and technique during a 1-on-1 coaching call. The session was thorough, logical, and incredibly helpful — and the follow-up summary gave me clear next steps to work on in the field. I highly recommend this coaching for anyone struggling to diagnose issues with their setup.”
— Chris, Wildlife Photographer

Frequently Asked Questions

Sessions are primarily done via video call. I find video allows for a more personal and in-depth discussion compared to talking on the phone. This will help us both get the most out of the session especially when critiquing images. If you would prefer a phone call, we can discuss this during the initial planning for the session.
