Panama is a landscape dripping with both myth and legend. Its emergence from the sea changed the world, connecting the north with the south and severing the link between the Atlantic and the Pacific. As such, the isthmus of Panama now plays home to one of the greatest assemblages of biological diversity on Earth.
This fall, Jared Lloyd and Annalise Kaylor will lead a small group of wildlife photographers on a photographic expedition to the lowland rainforests and Caribbean islands of Panama. And PhotoWILD Magazine is going to send one lucky subscriber to join them on this field workshop for free.
This workshop begins in Panama City, where skyscrapers toe the edge of the Pacific Ocean and the old Spanish forts that were once attacked by both Sir Frances Drake and Captain Morgan still stand amongst the modern city. After a day spent in class, giving participants the opportunity to acclimate to the tropics and honing the skillsets that will be necessary to take full advantage of this workshop, the group will board a small local flight out to the islands along the edge of the Caribbean.
These remote islands hold an extraordinary diversity of wildlife and have been dubbed the Galapagos of the Caribbean by the Smithsonian. Thanks to the lack of both jaguars and harpy eagles, as well as other large predators, two different species of sloths reach their densest population in the world here. Meanwhile, one of the most important red-billed tropic bird rookeries in the Caribbean can be found just offshore.
After several days of hopscotching around the islands, threading your way between coral reefs and through mangroves in tropical bliss, you will fly back to Panama City and travel to the Chagres River. Here, the group will spend the next several days exploring the Panama Canal and Lake Gatun region of the country by small boats. Panamanian white-faced capuchins, golden mantled howler monkeys, and the rare geoffroy’s tamarin will be a highlight of this portion of the trip - as will the extraordinary numbers of snail kits, tiger herons, toucans, bat falcons, and a plethora of other species that are found here.
If you like adventure, if you want to learn to master both photographing birds in flight and off camera flash, if you love sloths, if you have ever wanted to experience the Panama Canal up close and personal, then this is an opportunity you won’t want to miss.

Drawing will be held at midnight Alaska Standard Time, on September 15, 2024.

As working professional photographers ourselves, we know all too well that it takes more than just having fancy cameras and expensive telephoto lenses to be a wildlife photographer. You need a mastery of the tools in your hand and an understanding of how to find and work with wildlife. While understanding autofocus systems, histograms, and basic composition are all necessary, what truly holds back photographers from progressing with their wildlife photography is the inability to go beyond these most rudimentary things. And, of course, if you can’t find the wildlife, you are going to have a very difficult time being a wildlife photographer.
As the old saying goes, “if you want to create better photographs, photograph better subjects.”
PhotoWILD Magazine was created to bring wildlife photographers workshop level education in written form. It’s tough to learn the nuances of the craft, and especially some of the more advanced concepts, with the sensory overload of being in the field while a bear is running through the water in front of your lens. PhotoWILD brings subscribers in-depth articles and education simply not found anywhere else.
