Introduction to Nature Photography workshops

 

These workshops have been designed for people who want to:

​

• Go on fun adventures 

• Learn to create stunning images

• Meet likeminded people

• Connect with Nature

• Build confidence

• Improve physical and mental wellbeing

​

​

Welcome! I can't wait to help you to get started on your exciting journey of becoming a nature photographer. 

It's the thing I most enjoy in my own life and I look forward to sharing it with you.

​

I am a qualified Mountain Leader and an award winning professional nature film maker/ photographer

with 20 years' experience of leading creative and outdoor workshops for clients of all ages.

​​

All my workshops are led in small groups so that everyone gets plenty of one to one tuition time.

Each workshop stands alone, there is no need to do more than one workshop unless you would like to continue your learning and take on a progressive course. 

​

These Introduction to Nature Photography workshops will teach you everything you need to start creating the images you've always wished for including:

​

• Composition & Observation

• Planning shots

• Understanding Environment

• Field craft and animal behaviour

• Camera / iPhone Settings

​

Whatever you're shooting on, I will help you to get the best results out of the equipment you already have.

 It's amazing what you can do just by knowing a few simple hacks!

​

These workshops will also help give you the confidence to access the outdoors while connecting with Nature.

​

Outdoor photography has an incredible way of helping us to connect with the natural world around us, through understanding our environmental conditions like weather, terrain, light and seasons as well as observing the life cycles of the plants and animals in our surroundings. 

​

Becoming a nature photographer has many benefits to our wellbeing, both physically and mentally.

Getting out into nature is so beneficial for health on many levels, not least getting some exercise, but also seeking the beauty in the mundane every day. I call it 'bottling beauty'. 

​

The secret to getting amazing shots is being there. 

However, it's not necessarily about doing more, but about noticing more.

Once we start doing that, we start to see the whole world around us with new perspective. It's really quite eye opening! ​

​

Thank you.​​​
