Hidden away in a corner of the famous Ilkley Moor lies a magical wild woodland with ancient trees, mossy rocks, bubbling brooks, and a whole host of wildlife. Crammed with photo opportunities in every cranny and timed with the peak of spring, I'll share some of my own insights at getting the best from the scenes. From practical tips on composition to camera setting I'll be on hand to offer as much (or as little) guidance as you like. 
After a brief break for lunch, we'll get stuck into the edit, using adobe Lightroom and/or Photoshop to get the best from the morning's shoot.
I'll share the tips and tricks I've learned from over 20 years of digital editing experience to help you get the best from your shots.
We'll finish by creating an A3 print of your favourite photo using a professional grade printer on thick, fine-art cotton paper giving your photo a professional quality finish.
A Macbook Pro with Adobe Software installed is available for hire on this workshop. 

What Can I Expect?

During the walk, edit and print I will be on hand to help you:
  • Take a creative approach photographing an inspiring wild woodland and find your unique style
  • Getting the best results from your camera and its settings
  • Understand how the light affects your photographs and how you can use it to achieve fantastic results
  • With individual advice and guidance throughout the walk, tailored to your aims and wishes

What if it's rainy or cloudy?

In the unlikely event of cloud or even rain (ahem...this is Yorkshire). We willl continue to explore the blossoms in the local area. The great thing about springtime is that it looks fresh and stunning in all weather. And taking photos in all elements is a great way to improve your creative and photography skills.

Private Lessons (Half-Day): In Search of Cuckoo

With ground nesting season ramping up, the iconic Cuckoo makes a most welcome return. It is an incredible bird to watch let alone photograph. Join me for a few hours as we look at the best ways to locate, observe and photograph Cuckoos

Private Lessons (Full-Day): North Yorkshire Coast Tour

Nesting season on the cliffs is one of the real highlights of the year and it's always exciting heading over to the North Yorkshire Coast. I've been heading out there for over ten years now and each year offers something new, the secret is knowing where to look! 

Join me for a breathtaking exploration as we explore some of my top spots for photographing puffins, gannets, fulmar, owls and moor on this special coastline.

Can I bring children?

From an early age, photography has played such a key role in my life. As part of my desire to champion photography to young people I offer free places for under 16s when accompanied by a paying adult
