The Derbyshire Dales contains many quieter spots for woodland photography and is often overlooked compared to the more busier areas of the Peak District. From rolling hills and meadows to lowland canals and pastures.
Whether you are a complete beginner or competent photographer wishing to improve your skills in the woodland, these workshops will help you refine your approach and vision in this challenging environment. The workshop can be tailored according to your individual needs and you’ll receive my full undivided attention on the day itself
We’ll visit some of the more quieter areas of woodland I have got to know and photograph during repeated visits over the last few years. The workshop location will be flexible according to your requirements & weather conditions nearer the time
A pre-workshop phone conversation or zoom call is included in the price to agree a date and time to suit & ensure maximum benefit on the day of the workshop.
