WORKSHOPS
"A Personal Approach"
Workshops are a perfect way to learn and grow on your own photography journey, so it is very important to me that you get the most out of it. Where most workshops are approached with a 'cover all aspects' mentality, which is fine and suitable for some people, I like to take a more personal interest in the area's you want to learn more about or improve, and work with you on that rather that skirting over an aspect that maybe important for your growth as a photographer in a generic workshop, it's as much about the conversations beforehand so that I can tailor the learning to your needs.... I'm here to help.
Why Choose me / What I offer
I offer 1-2-1 workshops tailored for anyone of any level. Whether you're picking up a camera for the first time, and wanting help with the basics, or more advanced photographers looking to kick-start their enthusiasm with new locations and inspirations. I want to help you create images that would make you proud to frame them and show them off. As an Ambassador for Vanguard Photo UK & Kase Filters UK, you will also have the opportunity to see how certain accessories may compliment your kit setup. As an extra, I can also be booked to help with learning post processing techniques.
Together we will take in some fantastic areas of natural beauty and work through the main areas of photography...
-
Subject Matters.
-
Composition Technique.
-
Using light and how it affects your photography.
-
How to time the perfect shot.
-
Getting to grips with your camera settings and taking steps away from 'automatic' which can be daunting at first, but by keeping it simple and relaxed I can guide through these settings and how they work.
-
Exposure Control - ISO, Exposure, Shutter Speeds, Aperture etc.
-
Benefits of shooting in 'Raw'
As a KASE UK Champion I'm happy to show you how filters can help / be implemented into your photography and how to get the most from them, furthermore discuss camera equipment that would help you in your current set-up. 1-2-1 Workshops are about YOU and YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY. Each one is tailored to YOU and what you want to learn. I aim to make you more comfortable with your camera, guiding you through the technical jargon and teaching you alternative ways to approach / look at a subject, to take great shots and reduce time behind a computer in post processing .
A TYPICAL DAY 1-2-1 INCLUDES
​
-
Meet up at an agreed upon location (weather dependent)
-
Spend time over a quick cuppa to discuss the days events.
-
Head off to our first of 2-3 locations in the area (I will advise you beforehand of clothing and footwear that would be required for locations)
-
A delicious home prepared packed lunch and afternoon snacks will be provided.
Each workshop will typically last 6-8 hours, and includes transport between locations and the aforementioned lunch, so all you have to worry about is bringing yourself to the meeting point with your camera gear. Everything is flexible and tailored, so if you want to specifically want to shoot a Sunrise or Sunset, it can be arranged, even if you want to just book for a couple of hours to focus on one thing in a short lesson, that's entirely possible.
​
I want you to leave the day / lesson feeling accomplished and more at ease with your camera, with some brilliant shots to take home, and a hunger to carry on learning and honing your skills as a proficient photographer.
