A unique opportunity to learn on a one-to-one basis from a two-time Botanical Britain category winner in the British Wildlife Photography Awards.
Held in north and mid-Kent, Robert will escort you to two of his favourite locations which have provided many of his classic wildflower images. In order to capture the low, warm, raking evening sunlight, the workshop commences over lunch at 1.30pm and concludes after sunset at 8.30pm. Indeed, it may even go on until dusk should you wish to learn how to capture images of flowers at twilight; a project Robert became particularly well-known for more than 10 years ago. Through using such techniques as differential focus, high key and multiple exposure, and implementing the use of third-party archaic lenses, Robert is particularly keen to impart his knowledge in helping you produce creative interpretations.
Should you have a friend or two who would also like to attend, I offer a substantial discount.
2 persons £355pp, 3 persons £295pp
PRE-WORKSHOP VIDEO CALL
Prior to the day, at a mutually convenient time, you will have a brief video call with Robert to discuss what you would like to gain from the workshop, and through viewing a small selection of your images Robert will gain an understanding of your experience and therefore tailor the day accordingly.

“During the Spring Spectacle workshop, Robert took us to some remote and unpopulated areas of Kent woodland. Tuition was genre-specific as well as being tailored to individual needs. Robert's teaching intuition meant that he knew my next steps before I did. I would recommend this course to anyone who is considering getting a little bit more creative with their nature shots”.
Julia Andrew
"Many thanks for the wonderful day you gave us on Thursday. I was very lucky to be quick off the mark and scoop up an amazing day of photography with a "Master"! I did learn quite a few new things, just need you sitting on my shoulder during the composition of my images, but will definitely try harder to remember your hints and tips".
Melanie Chalk
"Thank you so much for a wonderful day! I learnt a great deal. You transmitted your enthusiasm and the detailed preparation and thought needed to have any hope of getting good pictures of wildflowers, in a friendly and engaging way. I also thoroughly enjoyed the lunch and conversation throughout the day".
Ken Brown
"Thank you for a most enjoyable and informative day out. I learnt a lot from an excellent teacher".
Paul Murray
"Once again out with Robert. I always feel at ease with him because if you don't quite grasp something he will stand with you to help. Yet again his tips are invaluable. Only trouble is trying to remember them all! This also was another very good and enjoyable day, with good company as well as Robert".
Brian Doust
"This is the second workshop I’ve done with Rob and, again, it was a fantastic experience! It was a smaller group this time and it was like having one-to-one tuition. The day certainly opened my eyes to new ideas and ways to take photographs and expanded my knowledge of the use of my digital camera. Already have another workshop booked and looking forward to it"!!

Workshop info
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.
Workshops
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.
Tours
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
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.
