Dorset Landscape Photography Workshop

This 3 day, 2 night group workshop will be limited to just 3 people, ensuring you get my full attention throughout and experience some of the more hidden locations across Dorset. When adding the workshop to your basket, please let me know of any individual requirements and what you’d personally like to achieve from the workshop.

I will cover everything from planning a sunrise/sunset, understanding how weather and conditions should dictate locations you visit, and how to use the seasons to your advantage. You will only require a basic understanding of how your camera works, with plenty of time for me to show you some best practices of how to set it up with a focus for landscape photography.
