Moose Peterson's Master Light Program

Moose and participant Moose Peterson and WRP have launched an opportunity for the serious wildlife photographer to take their photography to a whole new level. Moose Peterson's Master Light Program is a three month intensive shooting, teaching and learning experience for those who want only the very best from their wildlife photography!

Through bi-weekly assignments, critiques of images, a weekend shoot at a exciting North American locale, participation in a DLWS event, Moose will share ALL he has learned in his decades behind the camera photographing our wild heritage. It's all geared to help you and your photography!

This opportunity is only available for four participants each year, one participant for each three month session. Moose will personally select the lucky four who will have an education of a lifetime. Selection will be based on current photography skills, potential photographic skills and more importantly, passion for wildlife photography. The four selected photographers will be able to take advantage of this while learning from their own home. A huge part of wildlife photography today is the electronic age which will be exploited to make the opportunity open to everyone. That means anyone, anywhere on the planet can participate!

Moose working with student During the three months, wildlife photography is just the start of what will be covered. The wildlife photographer of today must begin with being a good wildlife photographer and then advance from there. Photographing people, products and landscapes, understanding film and/or digital, the digital darkroom, being able to learn about the subject and write about it and self marketing are all wrapped up in the phrase wildlife photographer. Camera brand and format is not, so they don't matter in the selection (but must be digital or 35mm). All of this will be covered more thoroughly and authoritatively than you can find anywhere else!

Those selected will:

have 3 months of personal instruction and direction from Moose
have a weekend 1 on 1 shoot with Moose somewhere in North America (travel costs not included) - Snow Geese in New Mexico, Moose in Alaska, Bighorns in South Dakota, Elk in Yellowstone, Wading birds in Florida are just some of the possibilities.
participate in a DLWS event (travel costs not included, DLWS event must be done during mentorship time)
have minimum bi-weekly assignments - These assignments cover photography, business, writing, Photoshop and much, much more
have weekly critiques of the previous work / assignments
have a gallery of your work posted on MoosePeterson.com for 1 month
have your article and images published in the BT Journal
receive a MP-3 PhotoPack
receive various Moose books (part of the assignments)
