Why Choose My Photography Workshops/ Studio Days?

There are plenty of photography events out there—some are simple slot-booking setups, others hand you everything from lighting to outfits. My workshops are different.

What I offer:

• A fully-equipped studio or location

• Professional lighting (set up by me)

• An experienced model

• Guidance and a collaborative, creative environment

Here, you create your images—not just photograph someone else’s setup. I’m on hand to assist, advise, and demonstrate when needed, but your final results will be your achievement. It’s a hands-on experience, built around learning, growing, and pushing your creativity.

What truly sets my events apart?
Emotional content. Capturing emotion in your images is what transforms a good photo into a compelling one. And yes—it’s something you can learn. I’ll guide you through it at your own pace, from working with your model to reading the light. And no, you don’t need thousands of pounds of gear to get there.

What Makes These Events Unique?

• ⚡ Lighting & setups created and demonstrated by me

• ❤️ Focus on emotion-driven imagery and storytelling

• 🤝 One-to-one time with the model, with equal opportunity for all

• 👀 Live demos save time—see techniques in action rather than just being told

• 🤓 A social, learning-driven vibe—discuss lighting, gear, approaches with others

Whether you’re technical or instinctive, you’re welcome. I’ll adapt to your needs, whether you want hands-on help or to work independently.

Safety & Studio Conduct

For Photographers:

• If there’s someone attending you’d prefer not to shoot with, let me know confidentially—I’ll ensure your comfort.

• We maintain a safe, drug-free, respectful environment. Anyone found violating this will be removed immediately, without refund.

For Models:

• You’ll be well looked after—my wife often hosts and keeps things relaxed.

• If there’s someone attending you’d prefer not to shoot with, let me know confidentially—I’ll ensure your comfort.

• Long-distance models will be offered free accommodation and meals (not extended to guests unless a guardian is required).

• Keep your appearance professional—current, unretouched portfolio images are required when applying.

• No promotion of personal sponsors/brands during our events unless previously agreed—you’re being paid to work, not advertise.

A Personal Message from Me

Art and fashion have no rules—competition images do. I lean towards creative art and fashion, emotion-driven and visually powerful. But with 40+ years of professional photography experience, I’ve worked both sides.

These workshops are my way of sharing what I’ve learned—with you. I’m not here to take over; I’m here to support, guide, and give you more time doing what matters: creating.

My short, targeted demonstrations are designed to save you time, speed up your learning, and give you practical tools you can actually use. Whether it’s lighting, posing, or working with the model—you’ll see it live, fast, and clear.
