Here's what sets our flexible 3-session course structure apart:

• Learn at your pace: whether you need more time to master manual settings or want to sprint through post-production, you set the speed. We don't move on until you're confident.

• Laser-focused on your requirements: no generic curriculum here. Before we start, we discuss your specific needs - from mastering studio lighting and portraiture to understanding landscape composition or advanced editing techniques. Every session is directly applicable to the photos you want to take.

• Unmatched flexibility: life is busy. Our training is spread across three separate sessions, scheduled around mutual availability. Spread them out over weeks or months, whatever works best for your learning style and calendar.

• Dedicated expertise: receive Louise's undivided attention and personalised feedback, accelerating your learning far beyond what a group environment can offer.

Stop watching tutorials and start taking better photos!

In this workshop, you will learn how to create and expose for those stunning ‘smooth water’ images, how to use polarising and ND filters, and we will also look at the art of composition and how to best capture the surroundings of Padley Gorge.

There will be a Zoom presentation in the week leading up to the workshop, which is usually on a Tuesday evening, and the practical part of the workshop, which lasts around three and a half hours, will take place on the morning of 19th April at Padley Gorge. There will be plenty of time on the day to review your images; however, you can also opt for a short personal review over Zoom. Joining instructions will be emailed to you around a week beforehand, so you know where to meet, what time, and what to bring.

Filters are provided for you on the day; however, you will need a tripod to make the most of this workshop.
