RHS Harlow Carr Photography Workshops

Join My Photography Workshops at
RHS Garden Harlow Carr

I am very excited to announce that I will be back at RHS Garden Harlow Carr in Harrogate this year with four photography workshops. It is my third year leading these sessions in a stunning location that will provide you with all the inspiration you need to take your photography to the next level.


Whether you want to find a new way to capture images of the wildlife in your local area, you are looking to hone your close-up photography skills, you need help with shooting at night or you would like practical camera advice, there is a session for you.


Each one is fully accessible and open to everyone from beginners to more experienced photographers. The small groups for each workshop mean that I can tailor the advice I give to all skill levels and everyone can get as much as possible out of the time we have together.


About the Location – RHS Harlow Carr


RHS Garden Harlow Carr is the perfect location for my practical photography workshops. The manicured grounds are a haven for flora and fauna, which means you will never be short of a subject for your photography.


Located on the outskirts of Harrogate in the surroundings of the gorgeous North Yorkshire countryside, you will find a wide variety of landscapes. Harlow Carr promises woodland and wildflower meadows, still water, running water and so much more. It’s a hugely popular destination for nature lovers and one of the most exciting bits is that, by taking part in these sessions, you get to explore all the secret corners of the site that so many visitors never get to see!
