A bespoke One on One workshop is an ideal way to improve your skills as a landscape and/or close-up photographer - or even as a gift to a loved one in the form of a gift voucher. Drawing from more than 30 years of experience as a professional photographer, the day is designed to be informative, inspirational, and above all, enjoyable.
Suitable for absolute beginners, advanced or for someone who, perhaps, isn't entirely comfortable in a group setting, the day will be specifically tailored to suit your individual needs and level of experience. Are you having issues with finding strong compositions? Do you need more clarity with the 'exposure triangle' or the use of graduated, polarising and ND filters? Maybe you'd like to learn or improve upon processing your photos within Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop, or, perhaps, you'd just like to be guided to some wonderful locations with a little tuition thrown in the mix and discuss all things photography. The decision is yours and through prior correspondence (perhaps via Zoom or Skype), we will, I am sure, come up with the perfect itinerary.

Bespoke multi-day workshop or holiday: POA

"I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the course on Thursday. Your patience and calm teaching style really helped me to start to remember what I need to do to start taking good pictures. I am inspired and already have plans to try and join your course at Leeds Castle in May. Happy enthusiastic beginner".

"I thoroughly enjoyed my time yesterday and feel I have learnt a lot in a very short time. Your explanations combined with demonstrating the techniques and then 'hands-on' practice certainly made it easier for me to understand. The proof is now putting it into practice! I now feel I have acquired knowledge to achieve better quality photographs than with my previous 'hit and miss' approach" :-)
Elaine Rickards
"Thank you very much for your time the other day. It was certainly very informative and has given me a much better understanding of how the camera works. I enjoyed visiting the reserve which was a great place to open my eyes to new subject ideas! Hopefully, I can put this into practice before I forget it all! Thanks again for an enjoyable course".

Thank you for dropping by and considering attending a workshop. I love nothing more than to pass on to others the knowledge I have gained over the last 30 years as a professional photographer and 15 as a workshop and tour leader. My group sizes are always small ensuring a fun and friendly group dynamic, lots of 'personal space' in which to photograph without too much fear of others getting in your way and as much tuition as you would like or feel that you need. I hope you can join me!
Although under the 'umbrella' of Workshops, please note there is a difference between the three types that I offer. To avoid any confusion, please see below.
Those taking place in the UK are classed as Workshops where learning is the primary aim, and in the case of those which are multi-day residential, very often include image critique and post-processing sessions.
Overseas trips are classed as Tours where the logistics are all taken care of and where the emphasis is on getting you to great locations at the best time of the day. Since these may include hide photography and working in cold, windy conditions where one-on-one tuition isn't practical, these are less hands-on. However, prior to the hide session or upon arriving at a location, I will give advice and suggestions on composition, lens selection and exposure.
Creative Visions is a new concept that I have designed to specifically nurture your artistic growth. They can take place in either the UK or abroad combining both workshop and tour principles. There will be critique and post-processing tutorials and, most importantly, you will be encouraged to go beyond the record and representational and instead produce more intimate creative interpretations.
