Discover the Art of Seeing

Photography is more than just mastering your camera; it's about learning to see the world differently. For twenty years, my work has been a journey into the hidden textures of nature, and my greatest joy is sharing that perspective with others. These courses are designed not just to teach you the 'how', but to inspire the 'why'—guiding you through the creative thought process that transforms a good photograph into a great one. Let's unlock your vision, together.

In-Person Workshops: Hertfordshire, UK

There is nothing quite like learning in the field, camera in hand. Join me for an immersive, hands-on workshop right here in the beautiful woodlands of Hertfordshire that I call my second home. These are intimate, small-group sessions focused entirely on practical skills and giving you my dedicated, personal attention.

The workshop experience includes:

  • A Full Day of Discovery: We'll spend our time exploring a carefully selected location, putting theory into immediate practice in a rich, natural environment.

  • Personal, Real-Time Guidance: As you shoot, I’ll be right there with you, offering direct feedback on everything from your camera settings to your creative approach.

  • Learning to 'See Small': I'll teach you the art of finding the hidden world, showing you how to spot compelling macro subjects you might otherwise overlook.

  • A Shared Passion: You'll connect and share the day with a small group of fellow photographers who are just as passionate about exploring the macro world as you are.
