Workshops & Photo Days

Join me for a fun filled day at a leisurely pace enjoying macro photography of a variety of species in different habitats in my home county of Somerset. I have over 20 years experience as a professional photographer alongside being a naturalist working on responsible, ethical and creative photography techniques to make the most of the subject and its habitat. I have been running workshops, teaching and leading tours for over ten years.

Please be aware that all photo days and workshops have a minimum number required to run, if we do not have this number a week before the event it is likely to be cancelled. Once we have the minimum number we will be able to accept last minute bookings.

Sigma Masterclasses

"Finding Art In Nature"

Instead of being dedicated macro workshops, we will look at how to find and capture art in nature in the field using whichever lenses you have, these do not need to be macro lenses but if that is what you'd like to bring that is absolutely fine.

We won't have any specific species in mind, we will look and see what we can find and how we can go about creating something a little different.

Nature provides us with so many textures, patterns and colours and this Masterclass will explore how we can capture these with our cameras.

We will look at not only how to find the right subjects to photograph but also how composition, aperture, multiple exposures and other settings and techniques can help us discover and capture nature in a new and artistic way.

Although many of the subjects will be typically macro subjects, such as plants and invertebrates, this event will look at how to get creative with different lenses by exploring what is possible.

You don't need to use Sigma lenses, any system is welcome, there will be the opportunity to borrow lenses for the duration of the event.
