You're Going to Learn So Much at This One
Here’s the thing about wildlife photography. You can own the sharpest glass on the market and still come home with nothing, because the hard part was never the gear. It’s knowing where to point it, when to wait, and what the animal’s about to do three seconds before it does it. If you’ve ever missed the shot because you didn’t understand the behavior you were watching, this one’s for you. Reserve Your Spot for $169 Today!
Here's A Taste of What You Will Walk Away With
From the field to the editing desk, this 3 Day conference covers the whole process, not just the shutter click. Here are some of the Topics You Can Look forward to seeing.
Here's the thing about Our Conference instructors,
These Aren't Just Great Teachers.
These are people who’ve actually done the thing. They’ve sat in the cold for six hours for one grizzly. They’ve figured out the underwater housing on an iPhone so you don’t have to guess. They edit their own images (all of them) because they know the shot isn’t finished when you press the shutter. You’re learning from working photographers, not people who read about wildlife photography and decided to teach a session on it.
Here's How Our 3 Day Conferences Work
The Wildlife Photography Conference is a three-day online event streaming live from KelbyOne Studios on Dec. 7-9, 2026. Here’s what makes it different:
Two Tracks, Your Choice
Every day, you'll have two full tracks of sessions running at the same time. Pick the ones that matter most to you, or jump between tracks anytime.
Watch Live or On-Demand
Every session is recorded. You get full replay access for an entire year after the conference ends. One price, a full year of learning.
Virtual Show Floor
Browse exclusive deals from top photography brands between sessions. It's like walking the expo hall, minus the sore feet.
You're Going to Love This Community
One of our favorite things about these conferences is the community that shows up. Thousands of photographers attend these events, and they keep coming back. Here’s what a few of them had to say.
Brilliant idea to allow replays of all of the training given. This is invaluable to those of us that hold down a 40 hr work week and do photography on the side. Kiddos love all of KelbyOne trainings!
Kelbyone Live Conference ATTENDEE
As an aspiring ‘real’ photographer, I am always so inspired by and sometimes overwhelmed by the information imparted by the presenters. It’s the inspiration that brings me back and puts more focus behind my camera.
Kelbyone live CONFERENCE ATTENDEE
This was the best conference I have ever attended. I have been photographing 22 years, been to lots of workshops, conferences and guided trips. The presentations were varied, informative, unique, and all in the comfort of my own home.

- A hobbyist who’s got the gear dialed in but wants to understand animal behavior well enough to anticipate the shot, not just react to it.
- A working photographer looking to sharpen your editing workflow and get more out of every RAW file.
- Someone who wants to push past documentary wildlife shots into more expressive, fine art territory.
- A beginner who wants a real, repeatable editing process instead of guessing your way through Lightroom.
- Anyone who just wants three days of learning from people who actually shoot this stuff for a living.
You're Not Just Getting Three Days. You're Really Getting A Full Year.

Let's Clear Things Up: Conference FAQs Unraveled
It’s all happening online—so you can tune in from anywhere with an internet connection! No travel, no packing, no hotel room needed. Just log in, grab your favorite seat (even if it’s your couch), and you’re in for an incredible virtual experience.
A: If you cancel before December 6, 2026 at 11:59 PM EST , you can request a full refund. No refunds for cancellations after that time.
Yes, you absolutely can! We created the tracks to act as a guide and have designed the live conference site so that you can very easily switch back and forth as often as you would like, or not at all. It is all up to you.
This conference works whether you’ve been photographing wildlife for years or you’re just getting serious about it. Sessions cover everything from field basics and animal behavior to advanced editing and fine art techniques, so there’s real content for wherever you’re starting from.
Here’s a simple way to tell: if you’ve ever gotten home from a shoot and felt like the animal deserved a better photo than the one you walked away with, you’re in the right place.
You’ll get real value out of this if you’re:
- New to wildlife photography and want to build good habits early instead of learning them the hard way
- Comfortable in the field already but want your editing to actually match the quality of what you’re capturing
- More interested in understanding animal behavior than in another gear review
- Ready to move past standard wildlife shots and into more expressive, artistic territory
- Looking for three days taught by people who shoot this professionally, not hobbyists explaining theory
However you fit in there, grab your seat. You’re going to fit right in.
Yes. Recorded versions of each session will be posted 7-10 business days after the event, and you will have access to these sessions for 1 year afterward.
Ready to rock your conference? All you gotta have is an internet connection, and pick your favorite device—computer, laptop, tablet, or even a smartphone! No fuss, no muss, just the eagerness to learn and dive into an epic creative adventure!
You betcha! Some of our cool instructors might hook you up with asset files or bite-sized video tutorial wrap-ups. And guess what? You’ll get your hands on those downloadable goodies on the replay page—7 to 10 business days after the event wraps up! So keep your eyes peeled for some awesome takeaways to charge your creative journey!
Nope. The conference is open to everyone. That said, a KelbyOne membership gives you access to hundreds of photography and editing courses on top of everything you’ll learn here. Worth checking out if you haven’t already.
