Photography Workshops, Training and Experiences
I love to share my passion for studio photography and run intensive but fun studio days in Brighton, East Sussex. These workshops are for small groups of photographers and cater for beginner’s and seasoned veterans. Each workshop follows a different theme, from headshot photography, creative portraiture, dance photography, and even a series of masterclasses based on the techniques of the likes of Irving Penn! Please do sign up for my newsletter as it is the best way to keep up with these workshops and find one that might suit you!
A new series of workshops is being developed for 2024, with one workshop being planned for each month. Plans are a foot to expand provision into Eastbourne and London! Please use the form at the bottom of the page to register your interest!

The Folio Builder Workshop is all about working towards creating strong creative images. Rather than learning technique. This workshop would be ideal for anyone that has attended previous workshops and learned some of the fundamental techniques. This workshop is all about putting this into practice to create striking eyes catching images.
This said, I will also welcome complete new comers, and technical support will be given throughout.
You will learn both strobe and continuous lighting techniques as well as how to create the best compositions and how to collaborate with your models.
You will leave the studio with some really creative images, with returning students putting into practice all they have learnt!
This is a full-day course with an educational focus: as well as being a fun and sociable day, you’ll produce some amazing images and have some new skills in your toolkit!
There are only 4 places on this workshop to ensure plenty of time with the sitters and to pursue artistic ideas.
