Take a look at my upcoming beginner workshops in Liverpool and Chester. Pick a date that works for you and book your place today.
My beginner photography workshops are designed to give you the confidence to step off auto mode and really understand your camera.
Small groups (2–4 people) mean you’ll get plenty of personal guidance without feeling crowded.
Beginner-friendly – no prior knowledge is needed. Camera phones are welcome, though you’ll get much more out of the session with a DSLR or mirrorless camera.
Relaxed and practical – we learn as we explore Liverpool or Chester city centre, using real-world subjects and settings.
Great value – at £55 for three hours, you’ll get focused tuition in a supportive, informal atmosphere.
It’s the perfect starting point if you want to take your photography more seriously, or if you’re just looking for a fun and creative way to spend a few hours.
Across three hours, we’ll cover the essentials every beginner needs to take control of their photography:
The exposure triangle (aperture, shutter speed and ISO) explained simply and clearly
How to move from auto mode into semi-automatic or manual settings with confidence
Why our eyes see the world differently to a camera — and how this affects image composition
Core composition techniques such as the rule of thirds, leading lines, framing and the golden ratio
How to decide what belongs in your frame (and what doesn’t) to make stronger images
Practical tips for photographing city landmarks in fresh, creative ways
These workshops are designed to give you both skills and confidence:
Hands-on learning in real city settings
Build the knowledge to use your camera beyond auto mode
Capture famous landmarks like Liverpool’s Liver Buildings or Chester’s city walls with a fresh eye
Small groups (2–4 people) ensure plenty of individual guidance
A relaxed, pressure-free atmosphere that makes learning fun and accessible
Each beginner workshop lasts 3 hours and costs £55. Sessions run in Liverpool and Chester city centres, rotating once a month. With just 2–4 participants per group, you’ll benefit from plenty of individual support while still enjoying the fun of a shared learning experience. The workshops are informal and practical — we’ll walk between photogenic locations, stopping along the way to talk about settings, composition and techniques.
