Workshops

      I will be joining a good friend and fellow photographer Diana Firląg for a series of workshops, as a guest photographer. The workshops will be run in collaboration with Diana, whose work focuses on light, atmosphere and the relationship between people and place. Her images have been published internationally, including features in Vogue, and she was recognized in the Independent Photographer Awards in 2020.

These workshops and expeditions take place in carefully selected locations, chosen for their light, atmosphere and how they change in different conditions. We spend time working within these environments, observing, adapting and photographing the landscape as it unfolds. Groups will be kept small to maintain a focused and flexible experience.

We will guide you throughout the process, focusing on composition, working with natural light and making stronger decisions in the field. Rather than rushing between locations, we spend time in each place, understanding how it works and how to respond to it photographically.

These workshops are designed for photographers who want to build a strong, cohesive portfolio, develop a more intentional approach to their work and produce images with consistency and depth in real conditions.

Please join us!
