Thank you for changing my life!
July 04, 2025by: Jamie Myer - United StatesProgram: Wildlife Photography Internship & WorkshopI am writing to thank you for allowing me the opportunity to participate in the photography internship. I have taken snapshots for years, and I have participated in many workshops. Each workshop taught me something new, and each workshop was memorable. Then you introduced me to Ngala Wilderness, and a whole new world opened up for me in photography. Barco’s knowledge is expansive, and his photography is stunning. What I loved was he never tried to turn me into him. Barco helps you turn your vision into the photograph you want, or a better way to explain it, is he helps you hone your skills to be the photographer you want to be. Barco, Jacqui and I spent countless hours on safari. We laughed, we talked and we learned that photography is so much more than snapping a picture: planning, animal movements, timing, respect for the animals space and the animals, which roads to follow, weather, everything contributes to your photography. Conservation and safety are always the objectives. Oh, and hours on safari only meant hours behind the computer learning how to streamline your processing, in addition to the actual processing. The man is tireless, and his enthusiasm is infectious. What an adventure! What a learning experience! I would definitely return for Barco’s Photography Part Two! Hint! Hint! I came to you as a photographer who really liked the adventure more than anything. I walked away feeling like a “real” photographer, but still one that loves adventure. Barco Greeff and Ngala Wilderness was the perfect way to experience both. Thank you for changing my life! Barco, there you go!
