WHY JOIN ONE OF MY WORKSHOPS IN 2025?
Photography has several therapeutic benefits linked to our mental health.
My workshops offer a safe place where you can escape from the stresses of everyday life. The camera offers me a chance to reset my state of mind, giving me a much-needed break from the world enlightening my mood. Being around like-minded photographers, in nature, gives you the opportunity to showcase your creativity, allowing you to detach yourself from your responsibilities. My workshops deliver not only technical knowledge but also give me the chance to photograph new locations, in a safe environment, they become a fun social event.
WHY CHOOSE ME AS YOUR MENTOR?
I’ve been a professional photographer for over 14 years now, Covering weddings, portraits and commercial assignments. I am passionate about inspiring creativity, along with passing on my knowledge and experience to a new generation of photographers.
WHAT HAPPENS ON A PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP?
Firstly we’ll meet at the location at the time stated in the workshop description. I’m usually there a few minutes before. We’ll make sure you have all the equipment you need and you’ll received your workshop booklet full of all the information you need. We then spend a little time going through the information. Then we’ll head out to put into practice what we’ve just discussed. Once the workshop draws to a close I love to end it with general chat and coffee, cake if you are lucky. They are a lovely relaxed, social event that are fun to attend
WHAT DO I NEED FOR A PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP?
Well, we can start off with yourself, then a camera. An SLR is ideal, but any camera will do. Then you need to make sure you have suitable clothing and footwear.
Please keep checking back as I add new workshops monthly, thank you.
