Photography Workshops
Don't upgrade the camera - upgrade the photographer
Forget about 90% of those camera options; they're mostly BS put there by marketing people to convince you it's 'better' - when in reality it's too much choice causing confusion. All you need are five key controls, mastery of light and composition and the ability to think like a photographer. And I can prove it.
Think of your pre digital photo legends. Salgado, Adams, Bresson, Fan Ho, Bailey etc. They made incredible images with the most basic of cameras. Upgrades?
Nah, they used skill and vision because...
Cameras don't take pictures any more than a piano plays music. The musician makes the music and You make the pictures.
If there is one thing I can guarantee - my photography workshops are held at great locations, with even better training. All workshops include coaching, various exercises and feedback so you return home with more confidence and images you're proud of.
Worried that you’re not yet confident enough to attend a workshop? Put those worries aside and join in - all skill levels are welcomed and encouraged. See bottom of this page if you're unsure...

A simple repeatable thought process
I've got a system that makes photography simple which I call The 7 Building Blocks of Photography. I break it down, show you how, and then let you dive in. This way, you'll truly understand each piece of the puzzle and how they fit together. I skip the jargon and keep it simple – no overwhelming tech stuff. Believe it or not there are only 5 controls / settings you need to master.
I've specialised in teaching since 2006, helping photographers like you. I love it when you have a 'light bulb' moment and grasp a new idea or concept. In 2012 I got a teaching qualification so I know about learning styles and can make seemingly complex concepts simple, so you get clarity and confidence in your photography.
Workshops DO
- Concentrate on seeing / finding images
- Work with light
- Coach composition
- Creative focal length
- Teach you how to think like a photographer
- And find the settings you need
Workshops DO NOT
- Explain what each knob and button does
- Delve into camera menus (they're all different)
- Preach which camera / lens / kit is 'best'
- Make the image for you (I'll help you find them)
Help will be given if you're stuck. For a personal deep dive you need 1on1 mentoring
If you're not confident about your skills
Don't worry, workshops aren't just for 'pros'
Every photographer who ever lived, including your own personal favourite photographer began by wondering how to work a camera.
From there they moved onto creative use of light and composition and made many disappointing images as they progressed to ultimately becoming one of the Greats. We are all in different places on our photography journeys and my job as your mentor and guide on a workshop is to help you towards your goals, whatever they may be for you.
Don't think you're not good enough yet.
Struggling alone is never as productive, inspiring or as much fun as coming on a workshop and seeing yourself progress in leaps and bounds.
If you feel unsure about your photography and prefer to brush up a bit first, I've got your back with a ton of super helpful free videos searchable by category so you won't feel behind or like you're holding others back!
