Group Workshops
Bookings are now being taken for my programme of workshops.
All of my workshops cater for photographers with a wide variety of interests, needs, knowledge and experience. For more information click on the titles below:-
I am offering a very limited workshop programme in 2018 partly due to travel commitments and partly due to the fact that I am scheduled to have a hip replacement operation in the summer that is going to take me out of action for 6-8 weeks. But I'm looking forward to bouncing back (pain free!!) in September.
The workshops I am running have largely sold out but I still have places available on the following: -
RHS Garden Harlow Carr - 'The Business of Photography - how to make money from your images' (16th November). Please see here for booking information.
Due to my limited workshop activity in 2018 I have an extensive programme planned for 2019 and information about these workshops will appear on this page as they are firmed up (please see details below).
In addition to those already listed I am hoping to include the following workshops in the final programme for the year: -
Chicago (May) - with Kevin Raber (CEO and Publisher of the Luminous Landscape). An architectural, street photography and urban abstracts workshop in the bustling city of Chicago. Workshops with Kevin and I are usually instructional, informative and good fun (a sense of humour is a must!).
The Yorkshire Coast (June) with Mark Banks. Capture sunrises & sunsets from the picturesque Yorkshire coastline, explore sandy beaches, rocky bays & cliff tops and photograph the harbour, piers and abbey at Whitby.
The Lake District (November) - with Mark Banks. Spend a week with Mark and I in one of my favourite locations in England. It's hard to beat the Lake District in the Autumn for spectacular landscape photography.

Bespoke workshops for groups (with the programme, location and date agreed with you) are also available. Please contact me for more information.

With Steve Gosling & Julian Calverley
An all inclusive workshop I am running in partnership with British landscape and advertising photographer, Julian Calverley in March 2019.
This is an exclusive and intensive workshop for intermediate or advanced photographers wanting to develop their photography in some amazing Scottish island locations under the guidance of two experienced professional photographers. The emphasis will be on getting you to some fantastic locations and helping you refine & develop your approach to the photographic process. The workshop will provide a challenging experience, not only out photographing but also with lots of time allocated for discussions and debates on the principles, philosophy and aesthetics of photography. To enable maximum interaction between instructors and participants numbers are strictly limited to 6 people.
Both instructors use medium format equipment (Alpa and Phase One) so we are particularly interested in working with exisitng or potential medium format photographers. With this in mind we will be joined by Andre Olpani (joint owner of Alpa of Switzerland) who will be available to share his knowledge & expertise as well as bring equipment for participants to try out.
THE LOCATIONS
Skye is a wonderfully dramatic & picturesque island located off the west coast of Scotland that has been voted 'the 4th best island in the world' by National Geographic magazine.It's a place of extremes, from the craggy outline of the Cuillin to the sheer cliffs and imposing headlands that descend to peaceful bays & beaches. The photographic opportunites it offers are both varied and stunning.
Harris & Lewis is one island accessed by ferry from Skye. It is a location full of history - the neolithic standing stones at Callanish are older than Stonehenge - and the landscapes offer tremendous variety, from high mountains to deeply indented sea lochs, coastal islands, rocky coves and beautiful white sandy beaches. It is a wonderful location providing space, peace, tranquility and photographs aplenty.
WHEN

THE COST
The cost per person is £6250.
This includes tuition, accommodation in high class hotels, all meals, dinner one evening at the award winning 'Three Chimneys' Restaurant on the Isle of Skye and transport (including from/to Inverness Airport and the cost of the ferry crossing to/from Harris & Lewis).

Join Steve Gosling and Mark Banks on this 5 day practical photography workshop exploring the spectacular Northumberland Coast with its sweeping sands, castles and harbours.
WHEN
5 Day Workshop - 29th April to 3rd May 2019
With Steve Gosling, Kevin Raber and Art Wolfe
I am co-leading this 10 day expedition with Kevin Raber (CEO and Publisher of 'The Luminous Landscape') and award winning photographer Art Wolfe and we will be there to offer guidance & support based on our many years of experience photographing across the world.
The trip will offer an amazing opportunity to visit the East Coast of Greenland - one of the last unspoiled wildernesses in the world - to witness & photograph a grandiose landscape that is dominated by glaciers and beautifully shaped icebergs. Most of the year this ice-choked coast is inaccessible and it is only in late summer, when the tundra is clad in autumn colours, that we have a chance to get there. On this exciting Arctic expedition we will venture into one of the largest remaining wilderness areas in the Northern Hemisphere, Northeast Greenland National Park (which covers an area over of over 972,000 square kilometres and is the world’s largest national park) where vast areas are virtually untouched by man.
For more information and to book a place please visit the Luminous Landscapes page.
WHEN
2nd to 11th September 2019
COST
From $9295 per person
With Steve Gosling & Peter Cox
An all inclusive, two centre workshop I am running with acclaimed Irish landscape photographer Peter Cox. Peter and I have co-led workshops for the last seven years and whilst our styles of photography are different we share a common love of the landscape and the power of photography to tell a story. It is also rumoured that we both have a sense of humour so our workshops are usually fun as well as instructive!
Glencoe and Skye are two of my favourite UK locations for landscape photography as they offer diverse and dramatic photographic opportunities - from the openess of Rannoch Moor to the drama of the Cuillins, from the historic Castle Stalker to the rugged Quirang.
The workshop includes tuition, accommodation, food and transport (including airport pick up and drop off at Glasgow).
WHEN
22nd to 31st October 2019
