Workshop overview:
Photography is one of the most powerful tools for inspiring people to protect the night. But photographing wildlife after dark also raises important ethical questions, particularly when artificial light is introduced into the nighttime environment.
Building on the release of DarkSky's Principles of Responsible Astrophotography in 2025, this panel expands the conversation to wildlife photography. Join leading photographers, conservationists, and dark sky advocates as they explore the ethics of photographing animals at night, discuss emerging best practices, and examine how photographers can tell compelling stories while minimizing impacts on wildlife and the nighttime environment.
Whether you're a photographer, conservation professional, or simply fascinated by the natural world after dark, you'll leave with new perspectives on how responsible photography can help protect the very subjects it seeks to celebrate.
