Where do the workshops take place?
The workshops are based in the New Forest in Hampshire and we will typically cover 3 to 4 distinct locations during the day. Please contact Mark to discuss this if necessary.
With a focus on developing camera technique and compositional skills relating to woodland scenes, this workshop consists of 8 to 10 hours of personalised tuition to help you best capture the autumn colours in the New Forest.
Prior to the day, Mark will carry out a thorough needs analysis to identify your goals, and design a programme to suit you. You'll meet at an agreed location for a dawn shoot and continue through till dusk.
Locations can be decided either by discussion with Mark or you can leave it entirely up to him.

Any level. Mark is experienced at teaching photographers of all abilities, from complete beginners to aspiring professionals.
An SLR or mirrorless interchangeable lens system, a range of focal lengths (ideally from wide-angle to medium telephoto), enough memory cards (or film!) for the day's shoot, tripod and whatever filters or other accessories you already have. If required, Mark can lend you a tripod and / or filters for the day, but please let him know in advance. Also bring suitable clothing and footwear for the locations and time of year.
One of the advantages of shooting in woodland is that it's a bit less weather-dependent than shooting open landscapes or seascapes. However, if the weather forecast is particularly bad, Mark will be in touch to arrange an alternative, mutually convenient date.
Mark will contact you to discuss your requirements, potential locations and so on. He will then send a draft itinerary, which you can discuss with him and amend if necessary. The balance will be requested 48 hours before the workshop (or if the weather forecast is especially bad, the workshop will be rearranged at this stage).
Contact Mark to discuss it. He may be able to change some existing arrangements to make room for your workshop. If you don't ask, you'll never know!
There are lots of lovely guest houses and B&Bs in the New Forest. For the locations Mark usually chooses, look for somewhere in the Lyndhurst area. Click on the link above to search for some options.

Late spring and early summer is the perfect time to learn how to shoot infrared; fresh foliage and sunny conditions translate perfectly to moody, ethereal images.

The image-making process does not finish when you press the shutter; good post-processing skills are vital for making the most of your images. On this workshop, you will receive up to 10 hours' instruction, starting with an early shoot, and after a few hours spent in the field, the rest of the workshop will take place in Mark's home studio, processing and printing selected images.
