Bespoke individual tuition tailored around your existing knowledge, skills and goals.
This workshop is all about you, there's no predefined script or list of skills you'll take away, it's tailored to what you want to know. So whether you're just picking up a DSLR for the first time and want some tips or a seasoned pro looking to try something new, we can tailor the time to suit.
The time can be split however you choose between camera time & processing time. There's no secrets here either so if there's a collection of mine that you like and want to know more I can walk you through the steps involved both in the shoot and in the edit.
4 Hours - £150
There's no pre-defined workshops to pick from a shelve, but here's some ideas to whet your appetite and show how the workshop could be tailored to suit certain collections.
Multiple Exposure We'll spend half the time on location collecting some base frames to work with, then head to a cafe and go through process of transforming them into something new.
Abstract (ICM) We'll spend most of the time in the field trying different movement techniques, and then head to a cafe to review what worked and what didn't.
Intro / Traditional We'll go over some shooting techniques and get the most from the kit you've got, including how the different camera modes and settings can be used.
★★★★★ Had an incredible time with Dan on a one-to-one workshop, he catered the workshop exactly to where I was at and my level of knowledge. We packed a lot into the time and I learnt a huge amount! I came away not only with some great photos I’m really pleased with but with the tools and techniques I can practice with and improve. Jake Rowland - Southampton
