Do you ever wish you were a better photographer & wonder what you could do to give your photos that wow factor? 

Fundamentally photography is capturing the way light falls on an object in an aesthetically pleasing manner. The skill in photography is about understanding & controlling the light to get the perfect exposure, i.e. the photo is pleasing to look at & is neither too light nor too dark.

Photography Workshops

I offer a series of online & in-person photography workshops aimed at helping YOU to take better photos.

The online sessions are interactive & are held using Zoom – you can learn all about photography from the comfort of your own home!

In-person workshops are held in parks & green spaces, usually with a coffee shop nearby. Click below for more details.

Why Photography Workshops?

I often hear “If I had more time I’d love to learn about photography” or “I’d love to learn to take better photos”. I had a bubbling idea at the back of my mind for years that one day I would like to run photography workshops. But I always used that same excuse; “I haven’t got time…”

Then in 2020 along came the Covid-19 & lockdown. Suddenly I had time.

These workshops were developed during the national lockdown. Many of us had the luxury of a little extra time on our hands & were looking at what we could do to learn, develop & improve ourselves. I too had some extra time & wanted to develop, both myself & my business.

I am a professional photographer with 15 years of experience in taking photos for a living. My specialism is photographing people.

During the lockdown, I was unable to work in my normal manner. I couldn’t work with or photograph people. Many of my clients still needed photography for their own businesses to stay active & visible. But they lacked the skills to take them.

I developed these short sessions to help.

You don’t have to be in business to do these workshops, they are suitable for anyone who wants to learn how to take a better photo.

  • Do you want to take better photos of your kids, your friends, your family, your dog?
  • Do you want to understand how to use that expensive camera that you bought but never learnt how to use?
  • Are you looking for a fun & different activity for the whole family to do? I can make the sessions kid friendly if your children want to learn about photography.

I can help!

Originally, when we were asked to ‘Stay Home’ these were online workshops. When restrictions lifted I started offering them as in-person sessions too. I’d discovered a love of sharing my photography knowledge with others.

Online or in-person, it’s the same content, the same knowledge & experience I am sharing. The same skills you are learning.
