I’ll be delighted to see new training you prepare in the future.”

YOUR INSTRUCTOR

Cynthia Bandurek

Ecologist · Conservationist · Photographer specialized in macro photography of wildlife fauna and flora

I started photographing insects as part of my scientific work. What I didn’t expect was that this field gaze — learning to read the environment, understanding behavior, moving without disrupting — would become the foundation of everything I teach today. I don’t teach how to press the button. I teach how to see before shooting.

That scientific gaze is what makes this course different.

  • More than 11 years at the Argentine Museum of Natural Sciences
  • 2 years at the Darwinion Botanical Institute
  • 8 years teaching macro photography in the field
  • Author of “The World of the Small”
  • Specialist in entomology and scientific photography
  • Judge in national and international photography competitions

“Everything I systematized so you don’t have to discover it alone. What took me years, you learn in the course.”

Take a sneak peek!
