Photography Workshops
Enjoy the beauty of the Teesdale landscape and develop your photography with a half-day, full day, or indeed multi-day photography workshop in Teesdale.
When it comes to education we believe in tailoring learning to each individual rather than a "one size fits all" approach. For outdoor sessions group sizes are kept small (2 - 4 persons) to ensure everyone has an opportunity to develop at their own pace.

Of course at any time of year the weather plays its part and as the seasons change, it is not just the wider landscape we look at. Fungi, mosses, lichens, flowers and other wildlife are all part of the landscape and we will also examine ways of producing more intimate landscapes with these as a focal point.

Your camera, spare batteries and memory cards. If the camera is new to you, please bring your manual as well.

If you want to try an SLR camera for the first time we can supply one for the day at an additional cost of £15.00 (one-to-one sessions only)
Of course if you have lenses, filters and other equipment then please bring them along.

Testimonials
Thanks for your patience and encouragement the other day, and for introducing me to mirrorless cameras. I thought I would struggle with some aspects, but I got some nice shots, learned a lot and am looking forward to putting it all into practice. Alan
This was my first visit to this part of England, so I booked two days of photo walks with David. Both involved walks in the higher areas of Teesdale and along the Tees between Middleton-in-Teesdale and Cow Green. As well as the photography David also talked about the landscape, flowers and geology which was very informative. David
