Programa detallado

The Animal Photography Program in Tanzania is a unique opportunity to combine creativity, travel, and advocacy. With the guidance of professional photographers, you’ll develop technical skills in camera use, composition, and editing. But more importantly, you’ll become a storyteller and advocate for animals.

Your fieldwork will take you into urban areas, farms, and local communities, where you’ll observe and document the realities of farm animals, stray animals, and, when possible, birds. This is not about rescue or staged photos, it’s about capturing authentic moments that show the relationship between people and animals in Tanzania. You will talk to community members, take notes, and turn what you see into powerful images and stories that raise awareness.

Alongside photography, you’ll explore visual storytelling, combining your photos with writing to shed light on animal welfare issues and inspire empathy. Selected works may be featured in exhibitions and competitions, giving your voice and perspective a broader reach.

Beyond the lens, the program offers cultural immersion. You’ll engage with Tanzanian traditions, conservation practices, and community values, gaining insight into how culture shapes animal welfare.

This program is designed for aspiring or experienced photographers who want to use their skills for impact. By the end of your stay, you won’t just have improved your photography, you’ll have contributed to a growing movement of documenting animal welfare realities and turning them into advocacy for change.
