Give Your Photography A Fresh Start Today

I teach how to create artistic and engaging Photography. – Combining the wisdom of old master painters with Digital Photography, we create beautiful photographs as works of art: all the feeling of a painting but the detail of Photography. – Engaging Photography infused with light, mood, drama, and atmosphere. Works of art that ignite our curiosity, imagination, thoughts, and feelings. – Creative Photography that gives us artistic satisfaction.

Photography is more than ‘clicking the shutter’- it uses artistic visual language. Like a written or spoken language, it must be learned. A pen doesn’t make us good writers; a camera doesn’t make us good photographers. Fluency in visual language dictates whether we create good pictures. My workshops teach you this language, followed by Photography skills and Photoshop techniques. – The more fluent you are, the better your Photography will be.

I have 40 years of experience as a professional photographer. I offer personal online and In-person workshops as your personal tutor, who takes a broader view of Photography to identify and resolve all your weaknesses.

How to create Artistic Photography.

Photography Workshop

A fresh start in just one workshop.

Photographers make dull Photography because they lack artistic knowledge, NOT the lack of Photography knowledge. They don’t have the wider knowledge needed to make pictures interesting, so they rely on cameras to do the work. – If we only know ‘How to take pictures,’ we disconnect Photography from the artistic knowledge to make pictures interesting. If we don’t expand our knowledge beyond ‘How to take pictures,’ we remain prisoners of making dull, literal, and superficial Photography forever – it’s all our knowledge will allow.

Nothing lives in isolation; everything works on a “cause & effect” basis. – If we want to create beautiful artistic Photography, we must learn knowledge beyond Photography. We must see Photography within the world of art, art within the context of human nature. – Improvement in Photography requires less attention to Photography skills and more emphasis on learning artistic principles and human nature. – Photography knowledge alone is not enough.

My plan is to teach you human behavior for ‘How pictures work,’ then artistic knowledge to ‘Make pictures that work,’ followed by Photography and Photoshop skills. Visual language is how we visually apply this knowledge using artistic principles to make pictures. – I offer you short one-to-one photography workshops that dramatically improve your Photography.

Workshop Plan

Knowledge taught logically.

Think of the workshop knowledge as a Pyramid. The base contains the broadest knowledge: human nature, behavior, and perception. The middle is artistic knowledge and principles; the top is Photography and Photoshop techniques, and the tip is our picture. – Every level of the Pyramid relies on the broader knowledge below it. The workshop starts at the base and ends at the top. – This methodical approach removes all weaknesses that cause your Photography to fail. The beauty is this approach applies to any subject you photograph. The subject is only relevant at the top of the Pyramid; everything below is fundamental knowledge that applies to pictures in general, not specific subjects. – Without knowledge, we rely on luck.

Your Benefit

Replace stress with satisfaction.

My workshop removes the stress of looking your Photography, not liking what you see, and not knowing what to do. – It’s like staring at a brick wall you can’t penetrate. – It’s frustrating and depressing. I’ve been there. But, once you have the knowledge, you have it for a lifetime. On the creative level, it elevates your Photography beyond the soulless, generic-looking, and superficial pictures social media promote. On the convenience level, you have one workshop that can be spread over time to fit in with your work schedule, but gives concise, actionable knowledge to see an immediate improvement. My job is to give you all the tools to reinvent your Photography with newfound passion and enthusiasm when things begin to get stale.

The Art Of Good Photography  …

Let’s use a ‘Product Analogy’ to illustrate ‘Good Photography.’

Imagine going to a shopping mall to buy a jacket. – A jacket catches your eye; it’s stylish and suitable for work. It’s warm, waterproof, and has a pocket for protecting your phone from the heavy rain. So, you buy it. You didn’t randomly buy it; you applied specific criteria to evaluate whether the jacket is ‘good.’ It gives you a benefit and is aesthetically pleasing. The designers gave the jacket a purpose by understanding the end user’s needs. People use this same logic to evaluate ‘good’ Photography because it’s human nature to do so, though the analogy may hurt some ‘artistic egos.’ – Good photography is more than ‘click & pray.’ – It has logic.

Good Photography appreciates there is a viewer in the equation, an end user. – Photography is self-expression, but if the viewer doesn’t understand what’s being expressed, it fails as self-expression. We can’t express anything if we can’t express ourselves fluently. The first steps to improvement begin with accepting there is a viewer and then seeing your Photography from the viewer’s perspective. – If you make good Photography for viewers, you will make better Photography for yourself;  you improve your Photography. There’s nothing wrong with doing Photography for pure self-enjoyment, but ‘Good Photography’ has specific criteria to meet.

Silvaplana Castle, Switzerland.

If you restrict your perception of Photography to self-enjoyment or self-expression, you have no incentive to learn about the people who look at your pictures or learn the skills needed to communicate with them. – The key is to make pictures that resonate with people. People are driven by human nature; it dictates that everything people do is motivated by a purpose and benefit.’ It contradicts human nature to do anything that has no purpose or gives no benefits. Viewers expect a benefit when looking at your pictures, as you did when ‘buying the jacket.’ Good Photography appeals to everyone; poor Photography appeals to the photographer.

After ‘purpose and benefit,’ the next factor in ‘Good Photography’ is people prefer ‘different.’ Human nature dictates we prefer ‘different before better.’ Different ignites our curiosity and imagination; better only sparks appreciation. Generic or literal only encourages disinterest or boredom. – Different gives greater ‘benefit and reward.’ From the human nature perspective, the ideal photograph has a purpose, gives a benefit, and is different but understandable. The final part of the equation is ‘visual language’ to put these principles into practice and create artistic pictures that have a purpose and give a benefit. – Let’s look at the 4 criteria next.

“Good Photography is more than random ‘Click & Pray.’ – Photography has viewers. Viewers expect benefits.”

San Gian Church, St Moritz, Switzerland.

What Defines Photography As Good …

Good Photography satisfies three components – The Purpose, The Photograph, and The Viewer.
If we factor in ‘The Purpose’ and ‘The Viewer,’ we create engaging Photography.

The Purpose of The Photograph is to stimulate The Viewer with a thought-provoking artistic experience.

4 Criteria Of Good Photography.

David Osborn Photography, London, England. Teaching enthusiast photographers creative and artistic travel and landscape photography. One-to-one tuition, booked on demand. Online or in-person workshops.

1. The Purpose

Good Photography stimulates viewers.

Good Photography is thought-provoking. – What a photograph stimulates is more important than what it shows. The purpose is to stimulate the viewer’s curiosity, imagination, thoughts, and feelings. Evoke an emotional response. Pictures are like conversations; our picture makes a statement, and the viewer responds. – Photography that doesn’t stimulate us is a dead-end conversation, dull and uninteresting; viewers get no benefit or reward. – The viewer may not ‘like’ our picture, but it must stimulate them. ‘Like’ and ‘Good’ are different. – All good pictures have a clear purpose and give clear benefits. – Our Photography must stimulate viewers.

David Osborn Photography, London, England. Teaching enthusiast photographers creative and artistic travel and landscape photography. One-to-one tuition, booked on demand. Online or in-person workshops.

2. The Product

Good Photography benefits viewers.

As a viewer, literal pictures don’t provide a benefit because they show us what we expect to see. Not showing anything new, they don’t ignite our curiosity. Pictures we don’t understand give no benefit because we can’t engage with them. – Engaging Photography is in the sweet spot between the two extremes. – Light, three-dimensional form, and atmospheric distance give the picture a foundation of realism, a point of reference to understand the picture. Then, the artistic interpretation makes the picture different, stimulating our minds. Ignites curiosity, thoughts, and feelings. – We must aim to give viewers ‘Different but Understandable.’

David Osborn Photography, London, England. Teaching enthusiast photographers creative and artistic travel and landscape photography. One-to-one tuition, booked on demand. Online or in-person workshops.

3. The End User

Good Photography understands people.

Our end user is the viewer. We can’t create pictures people respond to unless we know how people respond to pictures first. More critically, by knowing how people respond to pictures, we can influence their responses to create more powerful responses when creating pictures. If we don’t understand human nature, perception, and behavior, we only create meaningless ‘graphic effects.’ People don’t bond with ‘graphic effects.’- To create the bond, we must push the viewer’s emotional buttons. – We can’t do this if we don’t understand how people relate to pictures first. – We can’t create a good ‘product’ if we don’t understand our end user.

David Osborn Photography, London, England. Teaching enthusiast photographers creative and artistic travel and landscape photography. One-to-one tuition, booked on demand. Online or in-person workshops.

4. Production Skills

Good Photography appeals visually.

The ‘purpose’ and ‘end user’ are only helpful if we know how to create photographs properly. Photography is visual art, and visual art uses a visual language. Artists use visual language the way writers use written language. Visual language allows us to communicate effectively. The ‘Artistic Principles’ are traditional creative guidelines used by old master painters for creating works of art. – Visual language is how we apply those ‘artistic principles’ to create a beautiful work of photographic art. – Artistic knowledge translates the sterile and clinical raw file into: An artistic picture that appeals to our senses, full of light, mood, drama, and atmosphere.

Conclusion

Good Photography needs knowledge.

‘The purpose of all products is to benefit the end user and create a good user experience.’ – This principle is universally accepted. Why not use it as a guideline for learning Photography? All of my workshop clients knew how to take a technically perfect photograph, but they also knew something was missing from their pictures. – You couldn’t bond with them; just look at them. – Making their pictures ‘people friendly’ radically changed their pictures from clinically cold to engaging pictures you bond with. – Their problems weren’t photographic; they didn’t understand what we respond to as people and lacked the artistic knowledge to be creative.

Today, there’s less need for a ‘Photography Workshop’ because digital cameras are so easy to use that you can get high-quality pictures with little effort. The problem is making the images ‘people-friendly.’ – Few talk about this subject. – When photographers look to improve, they naturally look to Photography for answers, unaware that the answers they need aren’t found in Photography. – Social media constantly pushes enthusiasts to fixate on Photography only. This fixation will only disconnect your pictures from people, causing most of your problems.  The key to making ‘Good Photography’ is to expand your knowledge beyond Photography.

“Applying the criteria of products to pictures clarifies the criteria ‘Good Photography’ meets.”

How To Create Good Photography …

Ask Three Questions:

  • What is the ‘hero’ of my photograph? (The subject).
  • What do I want to tell you about the ‘hero’? (The message).
  • How am I going to tell you this in a visual way? (The artistic style).

The Photograph Must:

  • Do not show us what we’ve seen many times before (Be different).
  • Be thought-provoking and stimulating (As viewers).
  • Stop, Captivate, and Reward us (As viewers).

Why I Provide Better Training …

Don’t mix ‘content creators’ with ‘photographers.’

Digital Photography has made Photography accessible for everyone’s enjoyment. – Sadly, it’s also created an enormous flood of unqualified teachers, generally amateurs wanting to make money in Photography. The first ‘go-to’ option to make money is teaching, despite having no work experience in Photography as a job taking photographs. These ‘teachers’ now dominate the worlds of photographic knowledge, education, and workshops on the internet, YouTube, and social media. – With the decline of Photography as a viable full-time professional career, the knowledge base is being lost and transferred to the hands of amateurs and social media content creators who dumb down Photography. – My knowledge is near impossible to find.

Burj Khalifa, Dubai, UAE.

The massive influence of YouTube ‘content creators.’

YouTube has the highest visibility and influence of all social media. There’s a high chance that much of your knowledge comes from YouTube advice. We all prefer watching a video rather than reading a website. Many get hundreds of thousands of views per video; this is a massive influence. – If their advice isn’t correct, it’s a dangerous influence. – The disaster is YouTubers have NO experience in Photography beyond a hobby, but are today’s ‘teachers.’ They are only ‘Content Creators’ – NOT ‘Professional Photographers.’ – Their job is to make content people enjoy watching to get maximum YouTube views and make money. Entertainment. They take pictures for enjoyment, use them as self-promotion, and promote them to you as ‘Education.’

Wildenberg, Switzerland.

YouTubers use ‘Professional Photographer’ to deceive you.

Some YouTubers then ‘cross the line’ and intentionally deceive you by describing themselves as ‘Professional’ photographers. – This may seem small, but it manipulates your perception of them; it gives them authority, credibility, and trust. – ‘Professional’ implies you can trust them and their advice: ‘They know what you don’t.’ – A deceptive trick to gain views and followers. It’s a scam. – They prioritize enjoyment and even mental well-being; it appeals to viewers and hides their lack of serious knowledge. – YouTubers live in a bubble of ignorance and delusion. They can afford to do so because they’re content creators, not working photographers. – No genuine ‘Professional’ could survive on their elementary knowledge and superficial approach.

Bernina Pass, Switzerland.

People don’t enjoy the Photography social media promote.

They teach you to make literal, generic-looking postcard-style pictures, which are clinical and sterile. – It contradicts human nature to want them; they don’t stimulate us. They show ‘what we expect to see’ in a style we’ve ‘seen many times before.’ – They don’t tell us anything new or show us anything ‘Different;’ they’re not thought-provoking to ignite our curiosity. There’s no mention of what makes an engaging and compelling picture; they only discuss taking the picture, basic composition, and camera settings. The emphasis is on enjoyment, not pictures. It’s like the picture has no purpose beyond ‘being taken.’ – The photograph isn’t irrelevant; it’s the priority and purpose of Photography. – Good Photography needs proper knowledge.

The Alps, Switzerland.

Why do I provide better Photography training? Very easy …

The criminal part is, ‘You don’t know what you don’t know.’ You look to these people with an element of trust to learn ‘What you don’t know. ‘ In return, they have no shame or conscience in abusing your trust and even taking your money; still, you don’t learn what you need. – This raises a natural and reasonable question: Do I know? – Ultimately, the proof is in my pictures. Additionally, the proof is if others spend their hard-earned cash employing you for what you do. – I have been employed full-time in Photography for forty years. I can prove it. – Working photographers aren’t employed because they own a camera; they’re paid for being excellent visual problem solvers and communicators; they create pictures that resonate with people.

YouTube advice is often: ‘Don’t overthink it; just enjoy it.’ That’s the problem; they don’t think. This is not about some geriatric, senile, old English bloke in London having a good old rant on his website. – Photography is more than ‘clicking the shutter’-  it uses artistic visual language. Like any written or spoken language, it must be learned. A pen doesn’t make us good writers; a camera doesn’t make us good photographers. Fluency in visual language dictates whether we create good pictures. – My workshops teach you this visual language, then Photography and Photoshop techniques. – The more fluent you are, the better your Photography will be.

Science proves what I teach you works: Where we look in the first 3 seconds.

Details & Questions Answered …

  • Twenty-seven hours of live one-to-one Photography tuition. – Video recorded for free.

    You can learn all this using free Zoom video conferencing software without leaving the comfort of your home. – Every session is video-recorded live for your documentation. – The suggested plan is that each session is 3 hours long, 3 sessions per week, for 3 weeks. – 9 sessions or 27 hours. Any session that needs canceling is not lost but rescheduled. – Online is convenient for working around busy work schedules.

    The online workshop has a structured plan, divided into 9 modules or ‘lessons.’ – Each lesson is explained in detail in the workshop notes. We progress through the lessons chronologically. – Before the workshop, I will ask you for about 10 images. – At the start of the workshop, we discuss your images concerning the artistic concepts and principles and identify weaknesses and ideas to improve them.

    In the retouching phase, we apply every lesson to one of my photographs so that you have a photograph containing every step in one complete Photoshop file, from start to finish, as documentation. We do the same, but a quicker run-through using your pictures at the end. – During the workshop, we will also use different files to explain different techniques; certain subjects are better for teaching specific techniques.

    No preparation is needed before lessons, and I don’t set homework. Still, if clients wish to do homework – I am delighted to review it. – Your knowledge, improvement, and documentation are the priority.

    A detailed list of the subjects and order taught is explained in The Photography Workshop Syllabus.

  • The aims and content are identical to the online option but just in-person. We cover some theory and Photography techniques before shooting our first picture. On our return, I explain, show, and apply the first Photoshop steps to the image. – The client then writes written notes to document the steps and supplement the detailed workshop notes that I supply. With both notes combined, you have detailed documentation and the Photoshop files for after the workshop. – Workshops are not video recorded.

    We then shoot a second image. The client does all the Photoshop steps already taught on their own with the help of their notes. – I explain, show, and apply the next Photoshop steps to the image, and the client writes additional notes. We repeat the process until all the workflow is covered. This approach maximizes the client’s ‘hands-on’ time. – We shoot as many pictures as time and conditions allow.

    The workshop location is decided on by mutual agreement; we discuss the choices and what is preferred. In the UK, accommodation is in holiday cottages; in Europe, we use Airbnb. The client pays the workshop costs; travel, accommodation, and my international return travel, if required, my flights, train, etc. I cover my drinks, food, or meals. – Read the FAQ Page for the terms and conditions, insurance requirements etc.

    Non-UK workshops include three ‘Photography Days’ worth over £1,900. Three extra days are free but can only be used to shoot portfolio-quality photographs. You gain more workshop knowledge, pictures, and time for free. – I gain new photographs to keep my website fresh and up to date.

    A detailed list of the subjects and order taught is explained in The Photography Workshop Syllabus.

    Three options:

    1. Brought to your home in Europe. 11 days.
    2. Travel with you within Europe. 11 days.
    3. Holiday cottage here in UK. 8 days.

    The number of days quoted includes the days needed to travel to and from the Photography workshop.

  • My personal, one-to-one tuition will cost you less than most good group workshops or Photo Tours. Let’s look at National Geographic Expeditions for a cost comparison. They’re about experience, not education, with a potential group of 88. Most workshops are about 6 to 12. – You won’t get 100% personal attention in a group. – One-to-one Photography tuition is a better financial investment for learning fast and effectively.

  • The online option is by far more popular. – It’s convenient, fits in with your work schedule, and is cheaper, having no extra travel expenses. Workshops can be spread over time; if you need to cancel a session, it’s rescheduled, not lost. – The central selling point is the 27 hours of live video recordings of every session, documenting every step in minute detail to continue learning in your own time after the workshop ends.

    The online option is more about education and less about experience. – However, if your priority is more about the experience of taking pictures as an enjoyable break from work combined with learning, – then the in-person option is better. It offers far more time for conversation and the opportunity to learn while taking real pictures. – This option allows for group Photography workshops, provided you arrange the group.

  • Payment is only made by secure online card payment directly to the NatWest Bank in the UK, using the Mastercard system, which then passes your payment on to me. – I have no access to, or store your card information. Your card issuer protects your payment. – The only exception is PayPal for paying the small amount needed for the “Photoshop Download” file. – A deposit of UK £1,900 is required when booking a workshop, and the balance is due thirty days before the start of the workshop. – Please read the “FAQ” page for more details and “The Terms and Conditions,” insurance, expenses, copyright, etc.

  • No. – Lightroom tools are too limited to have the level of control we need over our photographs. Indeed, Lightroom is one significant reason photographs look so literal and generic-looking today. Lightroom is a considerable proportion of the problem. Ironically, it takes no longer to learn Photoshop than Lightroom, but people blindly follow social media advice. – You don’t need to be a Photoshop expert; just confident with the essential Photoshop logic, layout, tools, and procedures. I will teach you Photoshop techniques in my workflow. – Please let me know if you are 100% new to Photoshop and wish to learn Photoshop as preparation for this workshop – we can do a short workshop to get you up to speed before you start. – Email me, and we can work out a plan of action.

  • It’s important to understand that I teach you a structured, repeatable workflow, not my preset style. I am not teaching you to make your photographs look identical to mine. – The aim is to give you all the critical fundamental knowledge and a structured workflow that becomes your basis for quality and style. – Your style will emerge by applying all your choices to every creative decision within the workflow. Given we’re different people, your choices will differ from mine, making your pictures different.

How I Make Learning Easy …

I simplify learning by teaching you just one workflow in small modules. Each module is taught step-by-step, and each step has a concise, explainable reason, so nothing is ambiguous. Add the modules together, and you learn my structured workflow in the sequence used to create my Photography. – If your workshop is online, you receive detailed workshop notes for each module and every step taught, the Photoshop files, and all the live video recordings of every session. – After your workshop, I’m available for free follow-up advice, answering questions, and critiquing your Photography. Email me your pictures, and we can talk on a WhatsApp call. – The aim is to give you all the knowledge and resources to continue learning efficiently.

A Decisive Plan Removes Financial Risk.

A clear, concise, and structured plan minimizes your risk of not benefiting from my workshop or getting a profitable return on your investment. Trial and error learning is slow and painful, takes years, and does not guarantee success. The most efficient and cost-effective solution is personal one-to-one tuition. – With a personal tutor, you learn more knowledge in less time. – Improvement needs a one-off investment in your artistic knowledge, not cameras.
