One Two One

Contemporary Landscape 
Photography Sessions

Duration: 4 hours

 

Hello Photographers!

From March to June 2026, I am thrilled to offer one-to-one Creative Photography sessions, for everyone from improvers (some understanding of the DSLR functions) to more experienced photographers (who use Manual settings confidently). Each session is 3 hours long (at the location) and will include an engaging one hour post-processing session online to fine-tune your work.

What You Will Learn

Creative Composition

Composition is the foundation of a good image,  whether it is taken on a phone or a camera, and is the first step to creating meaningful and evocative photographs.  During the sessions, I will share my unique perspective on composition and teach you some fresh approaches.

Technical

The sessions are essentially bespoke, so depending on your experience, we will work on semi-automatic or entirely manual settings. Using the Suffolk landscape as our theme, we will explore the creative aspects of shutter speed and aperture and how light interacts with all aspects of a scene.

 

What You Need to Bring

All you will need is a DSLR camera. If you have a tripod, great, but if not, I'm happy to provide one.  I will bring some fun props for us to work with as an optional extra -  but I know it's not everyone's cup of tea.  I will, however, provide some delicious light snacks so we can take a break, chat, and look through your work in the field.

On-line Editing

We will work together to fine-tune your photographs during the subsequent online session. Your editing should enhance your imagery, and I don't believe that one style suits all. I am an experienced editor using Adobe software for my own work, but I can work with and even introduce you to other free software.  I will send you a detailed recap of what we have covered post-session on Google Docs or email.

A Bit About My Teaching Style

With years of experience teaching at further and higher education institutions, I've designed engaging projects that invite photographers of all ages to explore the incredible possibilities the art form has to offer. My approach is relaxed and fun, while ensuring you have a real creative experience that will help elevate your photography, and I hope your future practice.  

 

What Can My Approach Can Offer You?

Photography is a powerful tool for self-expression and I enjoy using my environment and sometimes additional objects as my tools to explore the stories I have to tell through the lens.  I love how light interacts with everything from the hedgerows to coastal scenes.  I sometimes use simple household props and lighting in the landscape to support more surreal ideas, as well as photographic techniques.  Personally, I think we all have a unique 'voice,' and it is that we will explore and uncover during the session.

 

Note: I am committed to making the sessions as accessible as possible​.  In my work in the community, I am experienced at approaching photography to boost well-being and make a truly enriching experience.

Location: We have so many stunning locations in Suffolk but I'll suggest places I know well, such as Woodbridge, Sutton Hoo and Dunwich.
