Studio Practice Sessions: to be resumed soon

Do you want to spend quality time in the company of like-minded people, honing your skills in creating exciting images of flowers? I can offer flower photography practice sessions, and would be delighted if you can join me. Please note that it would be a practical photography session rather than a workshop, hence a lower price! There will be a good range of specially chosen flower models, and I will be there to demonstrate some of my favourite photographic techniques and to guide and help you in any way I can, advising on composition, light, camera settings, choice of flowers etc.

Places are typically limited to three participants per session.

Do get in touch if you would like to book your place!

Studio Workshops: to be resumed soon

There are two different studio photography workshops that I run: Creative Flower Photography and Still Life Photography. As new dates become available, I will publish them here; there is also a waiting list, so that you can register you interest.

Club Talks

I give photography talks to clubs via Zoom, please send your enquiries using Contact page. I have four talks to offer: “Starting From A Blank Canvas”, “Capturing The Mood”, “Chasing Seasons” and “Small World”. Details are available upon request.

One-To-One Tuition

I am also available for one-to-one tuition sessions. The session can be tailored to your specific requirements, so that you can focus on any particular technique or style of Flower or Still Life studio photography.
Here is a broad overview of topics that are typically covered during my workshops and one-to-one sessions:
• introduction to studio lighting and to various technical aspects of fine art studio photography
• using light controllers, softboxes, reflectors and other studio equipment
• setting up professional flash lighting system and attachments
• some of my favourite lighting setups and techniques
• camera settings for various styles of shooting in a studio environment
• advice on setting up a home studio
• practical guide to lenses, and how to achieve a desired creative effect using a particular type of lens
• introduction to Lensbaby lenses for still life and flowers
• the art of good photography composition
• pre-visualising your still life image and then working towards creating it
• the focus stacking technique and Helicon Focus software
• Intentional Camera Movement technique combined with in-camera multiple exposure
• tips on post-processing images in Adobe Photoshop

The session is very hands-on, we will be using a fully equipped studio with a range of Bowens lights, a wide choice of props, backgrounds and accessories. At the end of the session, not only will you gain confidence for shooting in a studio environment, but you will also walk away with some great images for your portfolio.
The duration of my one-to-one sessions is 5 hours; the cost is £350.
