An Entire Education In Photography
High-Impact Learning With Immediate Results.
The Aim: Create Stunning Photography.
The Knowledge And Tools To Create Engaging Pictures.
Fully booked until June 2025. First available slot: Monday, 23rd June 2025.
Why My Teaching Is Different
I Teach Photography – NOT – A Preset Style.
Most Photography workshops isolate Photography from the broader artistic knowledge you need to create great pictures. Photographic knowledge alone is too limited. Others don’t teach this broader knowledge; they focus on gear, camera settings, or duplicating the tutors style. – I teach you ‘How pictures work’ – to give you the freedom to ‘Create pictures that work’ – and create pictures in your own distinctive photographic style.
Think Smarter. Benefit Faster.
The Workshop Structure
High-Impact Learning In Four Steps.
Principles
Learn The Fundamental Principles.
Every visually engaging image follows these core scientific principles. Whether in Photography, painting, or graphic design – these principles dictate how images attract and hold attention. Weak images break these rules. Learn to apply them, and you’ll instantly create successful Photography.
Critique
Identify The Problems & Self-Diagnosis.
The first step to improvement is knowing why an image works or fails. We compare the visual principles to your Photography to identify what is weak or missing. – You must know the principles behind ‘How pictures work’ before covering Photography and retouching so that you gain the ability to self-diagnose your own problems for permanent improvement after the workshop ends. You understand ‘pictures’ first.
Photography
Learn The Photography Techniques.
- The main subjects taught, but not every subject is listed. It’s also adapted to the clients’ needs.
Cameras record; people create. Cameras don’t create finished pictures; they only collect the raw data to make pictures. Photography is understanding how to plan and compose a great picture using visual principles as guidelines, – then knowing how to break that picture down into components and record the highest-quality data possible – so you can create the photograph you previsualize.
Photoshop
Learn The Photoshop Techniques.
- The main subjects taught, but not every subject is listed. It’s also adapted to the clients’ needs.
Post-production isn’t just correction – it’s the creative phase. Where you transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. Where you stamp your personal identity on the image and make it unique to you. – This phase is customized to the experience of each client. – The only requirement is a basic understanding of Photoshop layout, tools and concepts. – This phase can even be replaced with an – ‘Introduction To Photoshop Course’. – If online, every session is recorded live for future reference and documentation. – Free follow-up mentoring is included after the workshop.
No Knowledge Gaps.
No Trial-And-Error – Photography Taught Logically.
Most photography education focuses on cameras: the tool – but tools are useless if you don’t understand how to use them to create products. – It’s the product that counts, not the tools. I tech the entire Photography workflow from concept to print.
- First, learn how people see and respond to images.
- Then, put this knowledge into creating photographs.
- Learn the Photography and post-production techniques.
- The result: You know how to create great pictures repeatedly.
This logical, structured approach ensures rapid, permanent improvement. This is a philosophy based on science, logical ‘Cause and Effect’, not personal opinion.
Next Step: Workshop Options & Pricing
Invest In Knowledge – Not Just Cameras & Equipment.
Why My Workshops Are Worth Every Penny
Less Than Half The Price Of One Term At University.
My workshops cost less than half of just one term at a good university, and you won’t learn what I teach at any university. The knowledge comes from 40 years of hands-on experience, not textbooks or theory. It’s real-world, professional knowledge built over 40 years of working as a professional photographer. You get 40+ years of knowledge and advice, not as a group lecture or generic syllabus but as personal instruction. My workshops equate to less than £7 a day over a year and give instant results.
