Pre-Travel Photography Workshops

We travel to extraordinary places and often get home disappointed with our photographs. Travel isn’t only an adventure; it’s a creative opportunity. We may visit iconic locations and record the same data, but we can create unique photographs. Travel gives us the raw files; it’s our creativity that turns them into personal, memorable, and unique travel photos.

After forty years in professional photography, from Reuters News Pictures to exhibiting with Leica in Germany, I learned that great photographs are not just literal records; they’re unique artistic statements. The creative process doesn’t end when you take the photo; it continues long after you return home. The greatest satisfaction isn’t simply travelling to extraordinary places. It’s the creative satisfaction of returning home and creating memorable works of art from less-than-perfect conditions that stand out and truly mean something to you.

With my one-to-one workshops and “Art of Tonal Painting” technique, I help photographers understand how images work, so they create unique travel photography full of light, mood, drama, and atmosphere. Images that truly stand out with a signature style. – The workshops are pre-travel training, so that you create the best images when you travel; an investment in 40 years of professional knowledge and experience, not generic superficial “tips and tricks”.

My Secret Technique is “The Art of Tonal Painting”.

Every Colour Masterpiece Begins as A Stunning Black & White first.

We don’t see the world in colour, we see it through tone, by a massive 20:1 ratio. – The human eye has 120 million rods for tone, only 6 million cones for colour. My workflow embraces this biological reality – I build the structural foundation of light, depth, and 3D form tonally first, then overlay colour. – This creates travel and outdoor masterpieces full of light, mood, drama, and atmosphere; the same tonal-first approach used by old master painters for centuries. I take your photography beyond the camera, focusing on creating true travel and outdoor masterpieces.
