Below are the answers to some of the most common questions I get asked relating to my photography workshops.
I have been a serious photography enthusiast for over twenty years and freelance photographer for the past ten years.
I started leading photography workshops and expeditions in 2018, firstly in the UK and then internationally.
When I arrange and organise my photography workshops, I consider all aspects of the natural world in all its glory.
I provide expert tuition on landscape and seascape photography, as well as identifying certain species of wildlife to photograph in their natural habitat.
All aspects of nature are considered and this way we capture the natural world in all it’s magnificence at our chosen location.
I use a Nikon D850 DSLR camera and equipment including Nikon lenses.
We specialise in photography workshops directed towards landscape, seascape, wildlife and natural world photography.
We are based in the UK but also travel to Europe and further afield globally to capture the natural world in all its glory.
Yes, if the mobile phone is your camera of choice. With the advancement of phone technology, these can produce great imagery although there may be restrictions in certain areas of tuition.

Photography workshops are a wonderful way to interact with other photographers, learn new skills and forge new friendships.
A workshop is first and foremost a teaching environment. A great workshop will provide one-on-one and group instruction with guidance from top photographers. They will provide strong, approachable instruction, image critiques, evaluation and feedback directly from the instructor.
The itinerary will usually be developed around the best times to visit particular locations to produce the best photographic images possible.
We love teaching the art of photography and our workshops provide the enthusiast at any level with expert tuition, tips and techniques to improve the quality of your photography.
Depending on administration requirements as well as providing the best possible tuition for each student, we normally book for 4-6 people on each workshop.
You can expect first class customer service. Comfortable accommodation, transportation to various locations, good food, great scenic locations and expert photography tuition from an experienced workshop and expedition leader. Most importantly you will learn, explore new and beautiful locations and have an enjoyable experience with your instructor and fellow students.
We will use transportation to get you to locations, however there may be some walking to actual get the best areas for photography. We try to minimise walking to about 3-5kms each day.
The minimum equipment you will require will be a DSLR or mirrorless camera with manual mode, a tripod, lenses and a set of ND filters. A full list of equipment requirements will be forwarded prior to the workshop taking place.
The recommended time to book a photography workshop is immediately after the advertisement is placed on the website. We only have a limited number of spaces available (4-6 persons) and these are very quickly filled.
All images are taken in the RAW and formatted into jpeg in post production.
We will always try and accommodate rescheduling as much as possible, after all we are aware that sometimes things happen, such as the weather that leaves us with no choice. Please see our terms of business regarding shoot cancellations.
