Honestly, the real reason is the fact that Online teaching methods that have reached aspiring wildlife photographers all over the globe are flawed and outdated, to its core. Now, I know that sounds arrogant, but lets take a closer look. 

How many of the nature photographers you follow online have fast-paced action images of Birds or Wildlife. I am not talking about bigger species, that are easier to capture, I am specifically talking about smaller species that interact at a fast pace.

You know that feeling… when the action starts in your viewfinder.. and the anxiety builds because you know for a fact you won’t be able to capture those shots.

The sad reality is, we as photographers will never be able to truly tell nature’s stories if we are not able to capture those images. Birds are such magnificent creatures and their stories remain untold due to the Portrait Pandemic that has taken hold over the last decade. It is tragic.
