New Digital Photography workshops

Updated 8 July


Just been asked to run some one day courses at Harewood House, near Leeds - details are now online at http://www.harewood.org/whats-on/events/1/576






Dates are:

Sunday 25 July – Getting to Know your Camera

Sunday 5 September – Landscape Photography

Sunday 3 October – Portrait Photography

Sunday 7 November – Creative Photography

These will be inclusive of refreshments & a lunch provided by (but not in) the courtyard cafe, and will of course feature access to the fantastic grounds and parts of the house. It's a fantastic location and the facilities are excellent!


The courses are individually priced (if you look at the individual course links on their website) or there is a discount for signing up for all four at once. 

I'm also planning some one day workshops at Vicars cafe bistro in Saltaire
(see the  Vicars facebook page )

Which will be:


17 July - Getting to know your camera - ideal for nervous compact camera users
7 August -  make friends with your digital SLR - get beyond using fully auto!
11 September - Street photography (this ties in with the first weekend of the Saltaire Festival so should be interesting!)


All of these will allow plenty of opportunities for asking questions, getting practical hands-on training and trying out what you are learning in a friendly and supportive environment.

They will also include refreshments & a simple buffet lunch, run from 11am-4pm and will cost £35. 


More will be announced in due course - I'm looking at possibilities for location workshops slightly further afield. If there's anywhere - or any theme - you'd be particularly keen to investigate, let me know.

If you want to know more, please contact me by email using this link
