If you’re new to photography and looking to take your skills to the next level, this 3-hour beginners workshop is for you!

During this three-hour workshop, we’ll talk about what makes a great photograph and help you to learn-

• • The basics of the exposure triangle and why it’s important.
  • Compositional techniques such as the “rule of thirds”, “leading lines” and the “golden ratio” and how to use them.
  • How to get clear, sharp focussed images every time.
  • How to choose what you want and don’t want in your photograph.
  • How to use multiple compositional elements in your shot.
  • How to use & control depth of field to enhance your composition.
  • The basics of your camera functions to help you move from automatic to semi-automatic / manual modes.

Currently, I run this workshop in Liverpool & Chester City centre, and occasionally other locations such as Talacre lighthouse too.

My workshops are interactive with plenty to photograph and are limited to 4 people per workshop. I find this number allows a good level of discussion and tuition without becoming overcrowded. Throughout the workshop, we’ll take shots as a group then discuss our thinking behind each shot and how we feel those shots could be improved. At the end of the three hours, you should have a wide selection of photographs plus a range of new  techniques to use out in the field in the future.

Although I will be leading the route we walk, you are responsible for your own safety and equipment for the duration of the route. I cannot be held responsible for any loss or damage of equipment or injury to self.

To ensure safety, if adverse weather conditions are forecast the walk may need to be cancelled/postponed. This will be detailed by email so please check before heading down to the start location.

Along with checking weather conditions before the day, I will also review conditions throughout the walk and may decide to change the route if the weather/tide requires it. There are some routes that are not safe in some conditions and so I cannot guarantee visiting any requested location.

Though offered for Free, cancellations at short notice are very difficult to fill, therefore if cancelling within 5 days of the walk / workshop please can I ask you to consider a £5pp donation to cover my costs, this is voluntary but encouraged.
