Poor weather does not necessarily mean poor photography. The location or plan can often be adjusted to suit the conditions. If the weather becomes unsafe or genuinely unsuitable, we can discuss rearranging.

Bring your camera, charged batteries, memory cards and suitable outdoor clothing. A tripod is useful for many landscape, woodland and coastal workshops. If you are unsure what to bring, I’ll advise you beforehand.

Workshop locations can be chosen around your fitness, mobility and comfort level. Some involve only short walks, while others include more time on uneven ground. Let me know about any access concerns when you enquire.

Travel between agreed photography locations during the workshop day can be included from our meeting point where arranged in advance. Meeting points and travel details will be confirmed before the workshop.
