As a keen photographer, if there's one thing more exciting than taking a great photograph it's knowing how to take a great photograph. Photography is a fascinating mix of technical skills and artistic skills and while the knowledge and techniques required to take great pictures are not particularly obvious they are easy to understand and easy to learn. It's all about making the camera do what you want it to do. On a day course with me you will be taught the technical and artistic skills that matter and have a chance to put them into practice on a day out in the Peak District, perhaps visiting some of the out-of-the-way places that only truly local knowledge will take you to. A little bit more detail about the structure of the day can be read Here I am an experienced University lecturer and have been leading photography workshops in the Peak Distruct since 2008. I am also a trained Walking Group Leader and have been walking the hills and dales of the Peak District since 1988.

Teaching days are carefully planned and put together. Chris prefers to get out into the field to practice the techniques discussed whenever plausible. We can't control the weather but if we can go out then we will. We rarely cancel! The precise structure of the day is driven by a combination of your subject preferences and your coaching needs but typically might contain a combination of the following subjects; Composition FundamentalsHow to construct pictures that will capture the attention of the viewer, what to look for in the landscape and why it is that photography in particular appeals to so many people. Material on composition is included in all workshops, regardless of subject or structure.
Including not only the skills required to deliver stunning landscapes but also how to create the required opportunities. Again,
there are plenty of fabulous locations to choose from. |
