I offer photography workshops, tours and tuition to both individuals and groups.


Just bought your first digital SLR? Or maybe you are having trouble understanding the complexities of your compact? Whether you are a budding professional or amateur enthusiast who wants to get more from your camera, there is no better way to learn photography and put these new skills to practice than by travelling around a country resplendent with stunning natural landscapes, interesting people and great light.

Great Locations for photography workshops

All courses take place entirely on location in England or Slovenia where you can learn and develop your photographic skills while enjoying the outdoors and capture dramatic photos at the same time in a relaxed, informal and enjoyable atmosphere, among others who enjoy photography too. Or you can take a private photography workshop, tour or simply a one day course where you will get my undivided attention.

Weekend Photography Workshops and Tours 2021

3 DAY GROUP WORKSHOPS / courses

Durdle Door in the moonlight, Dorset, England. Captured late evening as the moonlight flooded through the rock's archway. The long exposure has also produced some nice star trails to the right of the arch. Durdle door is one of the many stunning locations to visit on the Jurassic coast in southern England.

Jurassic Coast Workshop

Stretching along Dorset and Devon, the Jurassic Coast is so-named because its landscape and geology record 185 million years of the Earth's history. It's packed with fantastic photographic opportunities at anytime of the year, and we'll explore the Dorset stretch, and photography some of the best locations

  • positive review  I am a solo female traveller who enjoys landscape photography as a hobby and because this was my first trip abroad on my own I decided to book a one to one workshop with Ian, not just for the tuition but also to enable me to photograph in areas I would not otherwise have been able to get to and Ian also provided Hotel pick up and drop off. I attended the workshop on 23/10/2019 around Lake Bohinj in Slovenia. The workshop was originally planned for a Sunrise, however due to Ian’s knowledge he informed me the day before that storms were forecast for early morning, therefore recommended we changed to an 11.30am pickup instead and then stay out later for Sunset and the Blue Hour. When we arrived at Lake Bohinj, Ian took me a walk around various possible composition points and he was very informative in what to look for in a composition and how to research where the best light will be depending on the time of day. He gave me details of Apps he recommended for accurate weather forecasts and to advise on where the sun would rise and set etc. Although the heavy storms had passed, the sky remained very grey and cloudy most of the day, therefore Ian took me to two lakeside locations and a beautiful waterfall quite high up in the mountains where we could make the most of the moody conditions. Unfortunately the cloudy weather did not improve enough for me to photograph a Sunset, however Ian took me to a spot where I was able to photograph in the Blue Hour that follows Sunset which was a new experience for me and I learnt such a lot. Throughout the day Ian allowed me to set up my own compositions and then would advise on focal point, aperture, ISO etc. and if filters could improve the exposure depending on the light. He also gave advice on long exposures, when and when not to try them depending on the movement of the clouds and water and also how to reduce the exposure time by changing other settings on the camera. Ian’s method of teaching is excellent and he answered all my questions in an easy to understand way. Ian is a very friendly and easy to talk to guy and his expertise in landscape photography is evident. I would not hesitate to book another workshop with him.
