At the end of the workshop, there will be a course booklet for you to keep and review.
I am always happy to field questions afterwards via email, and please feel free to share your new images as well.
Workshops run throughout the year and there will always be a seasonal workshop too!
The course material is presented in both a written and visual form, I will show you photographs to help you understand the techniques and also show you how to do it directly on your own camera.
A digital camera, preferably a camera with manual settings is preferred. Classes are limited to make sure everyone has a good understanding of their own camera at the end of the session.
These courses are part classroom-based tutorials, practical demonstrations and hands on practice. You will be taken outside into the Surrey hills and on return will review the images.

Each month will have a specific photographic theme & we will look at a particular professional photographer’s work that fits in with the photographic theme. We will discuss how the images can inspire us to take photographs at home in keeping with the theme. I will keep in mind that everyone will be creating images indoors and outdoors, making fun assignments for everyone to complete throughout the month. Images will be reviewed in the following month’s Photography Happy Hour webinar.
Join us! Each webinar is £20, which includes a task sheet of photo challenges. All webinars will be hosted through ZOOM.
