MENTORING YOU FOR SUCCESS
With Lou Coetzer & Team
WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY TRAINING
MEET YOUR NATURE PHOTOGRAPHY MENTOR LOU COETZER
With 50 years behind the lens, Lou has lived through the glory days of film photography, through the turmoil of shifting over to digital photography and eventually mastering the balance between portraying the stories nature tells us and taking technically correct images.
Lou innovated the world’s first revolving photography chair and boat and acted as Head Moderator for numerous Nature Photographic Competitions.
Along with the Internationally renowned Da Vinci Institute and Wenzel Kotze, he launched the “Towards Synergy – Leadership Principles reflected in Nature” Corporate Leadership Program based on his book with the same name. He was born and bred in South Africa and although he loves travelling all over the globe, his heart will always be in this beautiful continent called Africa.

- You don’t know the current status of your photography and what the next level of nature photography is for you.

- You do not have an effective rating system in place to differentiate between the good, the extraordinary and what’s promising in your portfolio of images.

MENTEE TESTIMONIALS
" What a great opportunity I am getting to be critique the images from my previous shoot so that I can utilize that information to make sure the next ones are better than the last. Lou has a sharp eye for picking out details that can enrich my work. His ability to dissect an image for it's good and bad qualities helps me to see things that I wouldn't have noticed myself. He is honest about what doesn't work and is equally encouraging about what I am doing that does work. He makes himself readily available for comprehensive sessions as well as those quick "check in's" to see how things are going and to take a peek at what I have captured. "

" I have spent a small fortune to visit some exotic destinations and ended up being disappointed when viewing my images back home.Lou knows his field of expertise and based on a review of your nominated photographs, he is able to analyse the scene and using your metadata, give you informed feedback on possible flaws in your nature photography or camera techniques.
That first session immediately answered some questions for me and allowed me to immediately make a mindset change in terms of techniques in use."

Since my mentorship program with Lou, I am now shooting with regular shutter speeds of 1/5000 and more!
Lou has changed my photographic capabilities and I can highly recommend his mentorship program to you and all of those who are battling with their photography and most especially, with slow shutter speeds!
Thanks Lou for sharing your recipe and intellectual property with me!
