‘Photography workshop for camera clubs’ – edited…

Contact Lewis on 07800 986673 to book

If you’ve ever wondered how the professionals get that ‘perfect shot’ or simply want to improve your photography skills with some expert guidance? Then why not visit the Wings of Wales team in the Brecon Beacons.

Professional lecturer in photography and animal trainer Lewis James Phillips, will help you set up shots with his trained birds and show you how to apply these skills with wild birds and other wildlife subjects. Lewis will explain more about the bird species in the workshop and their habitats and lifestyles in the wild, while also helping you capture great shots. He’ll offer expert instruction on key skills such as composition, camera control and lighting. By creating natural sets with a variety of props and getting up close and personal with our birds, you’ll discover some tricks of the trade and will soon be on your way to taking expert quality photographs of your own.

A basic knowledge of photography would be beneficial to those wishing to take part in the workshop, but Lewis will always be on hand to ensure you get the most out of your day. These days are geared up for camera clubs and last for 3 hours per session.

All images are taken in a very natural environment offering the best possible work.

Birds of prey experience
My husband and I had a half day birds of prey experience with Lewis, and we both thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Lewis's knowledge and enthusiasm for the birds and conservation was inspiring. Seeing the birds in their natural environment was amazing. We were honoured to meet Bert, the barn owl, Tracey the harris hawk, Rupert the falcon and the amazing Florence, the white tailed eagle. We would highly recommend this experience with Lewis and his team.

Half day experience
Myself and my partner did the half day experience with Lewis and his birds and had the most incredible time! Lewis was amazingly friendly and knowledgeable about the birds and their environment. He is extremely passionate about animal welfare and clearly puts the birds first. We met 5 of his bird team, all unique and interesting. Would highly recommend this experience! Thanks Lewis!

A unique close up experience
We did the half day experience and had a great time with Lewis and his magnificent birds. We had the honour to meet Tracey, Rags, Twizzle, Takora and Bert and loved the natural setting, letting the birds lead the interaction. Lewis shared his passion and knowledge and it was very informative to chat with him about his birds, conservation and education projects. We would absolutely recommend this unforgettable experience!

Fantastic! Worth every penny.
This is a fantastic experience and would recommend to anyone. It is amazing to see and spend time with such fantastic birds within the most amazing landscape. Lewis’ knowledge and experience shines through. It’s not just a ‘show off’ type of experience, you learn so much including the conservation and persecution. The whole experience from start to finish is first class.

Excellent Display
On 26th October 2023 we visited Raglan Castle whilst on holiday. During our visit we were lucky enough to find that Wings for Wales had a Sea Eagle, Barn Owl and Saka Falcon flying display. The flying display was excellent and conducted from a conservation point of view rather than a falconry sport one which was very interesting and informative beautifully presented. The birds were also on static display which was useful as our family could ask questions about the birds, the adults and children were impressed by the size of the Sea Eagle. An excellent display, thank you.

Unique experience. Do it!
We had such a great half day experience with Lewis! We were a group of three adults and we all had a chance to fly five birds in three locations… a farm, hillside and cemetery. Lewis is a passionate conservationist, so we heard a lot about the issues of wildlife and land conservation. He cheerfully made room in his van for me when I asked to limit my walking.

Fantastic Day out with Lewis and his Team of Birds. We met Lewis for a Coffee before heading out into the Beacons. Lewis is very knowledgable and was able to explain the history of the birds. He is very passionate and his love for his birds is evident. We had a great day flying the birds that he brought and his company was Superb. Massive Thanks to Wings of Wales
