Hi, I'm Jan Wegener
Hi, I'm Jan Wegener. I've been a bird photographer for 20+ years and I love helping others in their quest to capturing & editing stunning bird photos.
Transform Your Photography and Your Connection to Nature
This isn't just about improving your photography and mastering editing techniques. It's about cultivating a profound connection with the natural world and discovering how that connection can inspire and inform your photography. It's about learning to see not just with your eyes, but with your heart—capturing images that vividly reflect the beauty and essence of the avian world. For me, capturing these moments and sharing them with others is a deeply meaningful experience.
Hi Jan,
Recently I purchased your Lightroom Masterclass. I've been doing wildlife and nature photography for five years. I've kind of muddled through using Lightroom (and Photoshop) by watching different videos and when I couldn't figure something out l'd research it. But I have always hated editing. I never felt like I mastered it. And it was time consuming. I did a decent job, but felt like I needed to take it to the next level, but was always left frustrated. I purchased your masterclass a couple weeks ago. I've watched it through at least three times and go back to reference it when I get stuck. I took notes and reference them often. I love how you've made it simple to understand and when you say something you "show" us and walk us through what you mean. I now have new tools. And better understanding because of your teaching. It really has helped. Yesterday was the first time putting my new knowledge into place and I'm already impressed with my new editing skills. I'm looking forward to editing now. Who knew?!
I want to say thank you! Definitely worth it.
Thanks Joanne

The video you wish you had access to when you started
Jan gives you the video you wish you had access to when you started asking yourself some of those difficult photo questions.
It presents bleeding edge bird photography in an easy to understand, informative style & shows that it’s not the camera or computer equipment but these simple steps and a little bit of creative thinking that will get you where you want to be.
Even if your a walk & stalk kinda guy or girl there are so many transferable skills included here it would be ridiculous not to have it as reference.

Anyone wanting to advance their skills in bird photography will absolutely benefit from this
This is a highly informative documentary of exactly how Jan gets those amazing shots.
This honest approach in sharing techniques and skills he has learned and developed over ten years of bird photography is invaluable. Each and every process is clearly explained (not just what he did... but why he does it!).
Having watched this several times now, I highly recommend it. I believe anyone wanting to advance their skills in bird photography will absolutely benefit from this."

Good Afternoon Jan,
I purchased a copy of your Masterclass - Editing Your Bird Images To Perfection" and have just completed watching it. It was very very interesting to watch and enjoyed the detail you went into to explaining all the settings and adjustments made in RAW and Photoshop. It has without a doubt help me understand even more the intricacies of RAW and Photoshop and I am sure will help me to improve my processing all round and take it to another level.
I just watched your video. It is really good. Your workflow is perfect and you explain it very well without making it confusing to understand. I was never happy with my Baudin's Black-Cockatoo shots, as my processing was crap I couldn't get rid of that yellow look effectively. I will reprocess them now.
I have used Photoshop for over 8 years, I wish I had watched this video when I started. I have learnt lots of new
techniques that will improve
my bird processing work flow.
Wow, so good! This is a brilliant tutorial that showcases not only the power of Photoshop, but also Jan's amazing editing skills. Easy to understand, this masterclass caters for everyone from novice to those with more advanced photography and editing skills. I think absolutely everyone would gain from this, and it would be the best thing a novice could do for
themselves to get not just an understanding, but more importantly the skills needed to edit images correctly. I can't recommend this highly enough and I will be going back over it again and again to get everything I can out of it.
Well done Jan.
Hi Jan,
Wow, just wow, I don't really know what else to say?
I can tell you that I have paid big money in the past for other people's so called Masterclasses and for me to learn about all the stuff that you covered, I would have to buy two, maybe three, different courses.
I have many courses for PS editing and he makes it very difficult by jumping from mountains to portraits to animals, all over the place and it becomes a very
jumbled mess in your head when you try to put all his information into my chosen subject of Bird Photography.
Hi Jan, good day. I purchased your perched episode 1 + the master class editing videos. Firstly thanks heaps for the 50% discount hahah. The content if flawless and I'm really satisfied. I do have a question, in the video perched, you have used ball head clamps to attach some perches. Could you please let me know where you brought them or how can I aquire some? I tried looking for the over the internet but I can't find any similar one's like you have.! Thanks a lot for your time. Cheers
Ok, this is fantastic, Jan! Just wanted to say that as a beginner, I found this tutorial to be a revelation, showing me the true capabilities of Photoshop and seeingJan's remarkable editing skills inspred me no end. It's so easy to follow, which helped me progress and i’m just starting out.
This masterclass is something I believe everyone can benefit from if I can and for a beginner like me, it’s probably gonna be an invaluable resource. I got pretty good results but most importantly it equips me with the skills I need to edit images properly and even get better. I can't praise this enough and I already know I'll be revisiting it over and over again to absorb as much as possible.
Thanks

I don't photograph birds but i just like this style so much I wanted to learn
I kept coming across Jan's work online, and I was really drawn to the the artistic nature of the photos he produces. I wanted to understand what he was doing in terms of editing. I wasn't disappointed. At the end of the day, learning from the master is always worthwhile because it can be applied to any genre.
