Edinburgh, UK: Weekend Workshop

Saturday 17th - Sunday 18th September 2022

£595 per person - 10 places only

With it's hills, picturesque 'closes' and castle, Edinburgh is the historic capitol of Scotland with earliest evidence of human settlement dating back to c.8500 BC! Whilst there are few cave men about these days, it is a fantastic city for photography.

Our day 1 classroom is in the Grassmarket area which is one of the most vibrant and picturesque areas of the city with its cobbled streets, medieval architecture and inspiring views of Edinburgh Castle. There are many artisan craft shops, restaurants and pubs. It's a great place to try your hand at street photography if you're so inclined.

I'll be setting some photo exercises for you around the Grassmarket which is the perfect place to find photos.

The Weekend Workshop is about creative thinking as a photographer and suitable for all levels of photographer.

Where we're based

The Grassmarket is just 12 minutes walk from the railway station and has plenty of nearby hotels to choose from.

Itinerary

Day 1: Classroom based with some lively interactive debate about what makes a good or bad image and why we love photography. Discovering why you and your contemporaries are passionate about photography will increase your involvement and confidence. It's a milestone towards developing your 'style'.

Throughout the day you'll be given photo exercises to help you be more present to your surroundings and help you 'find' more photos. There'll be feedback and group discussion, followed by low light photography of The Grassmarket area and Edinburgh Castle in the evening.

Day 2: Is an all day photo walk through the city beginning at Edinburgh Castle and finishing on Calton Hill for sunset views across the city towards Edinburgh Castle. (The banner image above was taken on the last Edinburgh Weekend Workshop*). This is a rare opportunity to put what you learned on Day 1 into real life practice whilst it's fresh in your mind. I'll be with you to help, encourage and answer questions that'll make your photos pop.

Your Tutor At A Glance

Hi, I'm Mike and I'm flattered to have been called the UK's friendliest Photography Expert (Thanks 500px!). I'm proud to have made hundreds of videos and spent thousands of hours teaching people like you to see more beauty in the world every day (and to capture that beauty), by thinking like a photographer.

My YouTube channel has served more than 26 Million views and has more than 260,000 subscribers. I've appeared on TV shows and been asked to speak at some of the best photography events on earth, such as:

Xposure International Photography Festival, Sharjah, UAE
The Photography Show, Birmingham, UK

I've enjoyed a wonderful career as a photographer, presenter and teacher. I even trained as a teacher so that I could reach my full potential and enable others to reach theirs.

As a photographer, I'm proud to have won multiple awards:

Petapixel TopTen Youtube Trainers list
x2 Xposure Exhibition Awards
Fuji Commercial - X2 Fuji Wedding
Kodak Gold
14 Master Photographers Association Awards

And I've been lucky to have had exhibitions at prestigious venues such as:

The Master Photographers Association

Xposure Photography Festival - others...

When not teaching photography I also have a role as a brand ambassador for ClickAsnap.com and I have written for publications such as:

Ephotozine
DSLR User magazine
Professional Photographer
Photography Monthly - others...

Trumping all of this, my proudest achievement to date is the huge number of wonderful 5* reviews on Trustpilot and Google - written by people like you after completing my courses. This is what inspires me to continue creating courses to help more people fall in love with photography.
