πŸ“Έ Wildlife Photography Workshop – Orokonui Ecosanctuary 🐦

Had the privilege of joining a wildlife photography workshop and field trip to the stunning Orokonui Ecosanctuary, guided by the incredibly talented Paul Sorrell β€” a renowned and published wildlife photographer right here in Dunedin.

It was an eye-opening experience learning the art behind capturing birds in their natural habitat. We explored how to:
πŸͺ΅ Choose and stage the perfect background for a bird photoshoot
πŸͺ² Hunt for and place their bait (insects under tree leaves) strategically
πŸ”Š Use a small speaker to play bird calls and gently lure them in for the shot

From the peaceful setting to the thrill of finally seeing the bird land exactly where we hoped β€” it was amazing learning that combined patience, skill, and a love for nature.

Grateful to Paul for sharing his expertise and to Orokonui for protecting such a beautiful slice of wildlife paradise. 🐦🌿

AlhmduliLLAH (all praise and gratitude is for Allah),

I am deeply honored to receive 'Commendable' award for all 4 of my photography entries in the New Zealand Institute of Professional Photographers (NZIPP)'s New Zealand Amateur Photography Awards (NZAPA) 2024.

This was my first time entering my photos in this competition.

I am extremely grateful to my mentor Simone Jackson (
www.simonejacksonphotography.co.nz) for her informative Hands-on Photography workshop organised by Pakistan Association of Otago as well as her support throughout the journey.

I still have a long way to go, but Simone's mentorship coupled with NZAPA awards have ignited a real passion for learning and honing my photography skills.
