A one to one workshop allows you to have Andy’s full and undivided attention, enabling you to learn so much more in one session than you would with a group.

The cost is £50 per hour and can include up to four people.

The session will be tailored to suit your needs whether you are a beginner wanting to get the most from your camera or and experienced photographer wanting to hone your skills. The focus will be on photographing nature and it is possible to concentrate on flowers and plants, woodland and trees, landscape or coast.

At the moment workshops are only offered at Andy’s studio near Basingstoke Hampshire.

Help with composition, impressionist techniques including multi exposure and ICM, setting up an inexpensive indoor studio are just some of the posiibilities for learning.

Please use the contact form to request a consultation and an outline of your requirements and aims.
