Why Join One of My Photography Workshops?
My workshops are about much more than learning camera settings. Photography gives us a reason to slow down, step away from everyday pressures and properly notice the world around us. You’ll learn in a relaxed and supportive environment alongside other people who enjoy photography, with plenty of time to ask questions, try things for yourself and enjoy being creative. The aim is to build your skills and confidence while having an enjoyable, sociable experience in some brilliant locations.
Learn with an Experienced Professional Photographer
I’ve worked as a professional photographer for nearly two decades, covering everything from weddings, portraits and commercial assignments to wildlife and landscapes, with my work also appearing in the national press. That experience has taught me how to work with different cameras, changing conditions and people of every ability. My job on a workshop isn’t to impress you with technical jargon; it’s to explain things clearly, demonstrate them properly and give you the individual help you need.
WHAT HAPPENS ON A PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP?
We’ll meet at the location and time shown on the individual workshop page, and I’m normally there a little early so nobody feels rushed. We’ll begin with a relaxed introduction and look at the techniques and camera settings that will be most useful for the day. You don’t need to arrive knowing everything, and there will always be plenty of opportunities to ask questions.
Most of the learning takes place through practical photography. I’ll work around the group, helping with camera settings, focusing, exposure and composition while giving everyone individual guidance as they shoot. Each student also receives a professionally produced workshop guide to take home, so you can revisit what you’ve learned and continue practising afterwards.
WHAT DO I NEED FOR A PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP?
Bring your camera, a fully charged battery and a memory card with plenty of space. It doesn’t matter whether you use Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm or another system, and you certainly don’t need the newest equipment. A tripod or longer lens may be useful for particular workshops, but this will always be explained on the individual event page. For outdoor sessions, please bring suitable clothing and footwear for the location and weather.

Take your wildlife photography beyond the basics with this immersive, hands-on workshop led by professional wildlife photographer Stu Brown.
Designed for photographers who are ready to build confidence in the field, this relaxed full-day experience focuses on photographing wildlife responsibly while developing the skills needed to capture stunning images in real-world situations.
Rather than spending the day in a classroom, you'll head out onto the reserve to put your camera into action. Learn how to choose the right settings for changing conditions, master autofocus and subject tracking, improve exposure, photograph birds in flight and moving wildlife, refine your composition, and make the most of natural light.
A key part of the workshop is developing essential fieldcraft. Discover how to observe wildlife, anticipate behaviour, approach subjects ethically and understand when it's best not to take the shot. With wildlife welfare at its heart, there's no better place to learn than an RSPB nature reserve.
Beyond the technical skills, the workshop offers the chance to slow down, immerse yourself in nature and enjoy the wellbeing benefits of spending time outdoors. Wildlife photography is as much about patience, observation and connection with the natural world as it is about the images you create.
Each participant will also receive Stu Brown's professionally produced Wildlife Photography Field Guide to take home. Packed with practical camera settings, fieldcraft techniques, focusing tips, exposure advice, birds-in-flight guidance, composition, wildlife ethics, mini projects and space for your own field notes, it's the perfect companion to continue your photography journey. Whether you're hoping to capture your first sharp bird in flight or simply want to get more from your camera while enjoying a day surrounded by wildlife, this friendly, supportive workshop is designed to help you learn, practise, ask questions and leave inspired.
