In this promotional video, Angie Birmingham of WTF Stuff Photography and Jeff & Angie Photography announces a nature‑photography class she will teach for the Professional Photographers of America (PPA) at Imaging USA 2026 in Nashville. The session runs on January 10, 2026, from 2 PM to 5 PM and draws its curriculum directly from her newly released book Journey Through the Lens: A Creative Guide to Nature Photography. Angie outlines the workshop’s structure: a genre‑by‑genre breakdown covering majestic landscapes, fast‑flying birds, large wildlife such as elephants, and overlooked critters; practical gear advice (what’s essential, what’s optional, and what to avoid); and location‑scouting techniques for finding nature spots near the classroom. She enriches the teaching with personal anecdotes from shoots in South Africa, Botswana, Sri Lanka, Costa Rica, and the United States. Throughout the video she promotes affiliate links, a discounted purchase link for her book (with an automatically applied code), a link to the PPA event page, and her own website, urging viewers to like, subscribe, and stay tuned for future content.
