Studio photography workshops experiences >

I love to share my passion for studio photography and run intensive but fun studio days in Brighton, East Sussex. I am joined by my creative partner Justyna Neryng on these workshops. An award winning photographer in her own right, Justyna is an invaluable part of my studio process. She will be on hand to share valuable insights and advice, assist with helping you to realise your vision as well as make some wonderful behind the scenes images for you to mark the occasion with! 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!

Why attend our Workshops?

I have over thirty years studio experience and Justyna is a self taught multi award winning photographer. We invite photographers to explore portraiture through intuition, experimentation, and a fluid approach to lighting. We encourage participants to let go of rigid methods, allowing shoots to evolve naturally, embracing uncertainty, spontaneity, and even occasional failure as part of the creative process. This process is given full technical support throughout. Our intent is that you leave the day having had a fulfilling creative experience and gained the confidence to engage with studio photography in the future.

Each workshop balances this intuitive approach with strong technical foundations, covering strobe and constant lighting, composition, and communication with subjects. Throughout the day you will gain plenty of hands on experience and you will be able to develop your confidence in directing and shaping light.

Justyna and I also put on many themed workshops from Fashion, the Nude, to Dance and Master Lighting Techniques of the 20th Century.We are also planning to tour these workshops each Summer starting this year.
