I've lived in the Cotswolds for over 20 years, photographing its beautiful and surprisingly diverse scenery throughout the seasons. On a full-day or 4-hour workshop, I'll share with you some of my favourite, often little-known, locations for photography, picking the ones that not only suit the time of year, but also offer you the very best opportunities to develop and improve your camera skills.

Highlights
• Depending on the weather and time of year, we might start by photographing sunrise over a mist-covered water meadow.
• We'll explore the craft of landscape photography, using dramatic beech woods, rolling countryside or iconic Cotswolds landmarks to master composition and viewpoint.
• If you're interested in wildlife or macro photography, we'll visit a nature reserve to photograph orchids or butterflies.
• You can customise your day with optional add-ons, below.

Why this trip?
• We can include a dawn or dusk session, making the most of the best conditions and learning about the changing qualities of light.
• We'll visit several, contrasting locations, allowing you to practise a range of techniques.
• If you're a beginner, there will be plenty of time to demystify your camera and become confident with its various settings.
• I'll provide instant feedback on your images throughout the day, and can also include a Lightroom demonstration.

Itinerary
When you contact me using the form below, I'll ask you what you hope to gain from the workshop, what areas of photography you're keen to focus on, and whether there are any particular subjects you would like to tackle, such as close-ups, landscapes etc. Using this information, I'll put together a bespoke itinerary for you, including details of where and when we'll meet and what time the workshop will end.

Full-day workshops last around 8 hours. During late autumn and winter, this means we can usually include the whole day from dawn to dusk. However, with the longer days of late spring and summer,  you'll need to choose one or the other. The 4-hour workshops can either be held in the morning or late afternoon/evening.

Optional add-ons
For a small extra charge (to cover admission fees only), I can easily include a visit to the Cotswold Wildlife Park, Batsford Arboretum, Hidcote Manor Garden or the Snowshill Lavender Farm if you'd like to spend more dedicated time on wildlife, plants or garden photography during your full-day workshop. If this is of interest, please mention it in the form below.
