Our Workshop One-on-One run perfectly smoothly: meeting between half hour and one hour before sunrise for our photographic session, then back to the hotel for breakfast and for a morning of post-processing to extract the best from my photos; then photographic session at sunset and dinner back at the hotel. I highly recommend this experience, a Workshop One-on-One truly unique and definitely to try!
I started exploring and photographing Dorset’s amazing Jurassic Coast in 2016, and I have been so impressed that until 2019 I returned every year, often many times a year. While I do love the challenge of photographing iconic locations in my own personal way, I am also fond of finding my own, and Dorset just delivers on both counts. Featuring a unique mix of iconic, world-famous locations and virtually non-photographed, spectacular landscapes, Dorset is a photographer’s gold mine and one of those places I am never tired of going back to!
Designing your Dorset Jurassic Coast Photography Workshop, leveraging on over a decade of experience leading more than 110 Workshops, 4 of which in Dorset so far, I focussed on offering you the most inspiring mix of iconic and less known locations, seascapes and landscapes, large vista and minimalist scenes, all with and without man-made elements, to create a diverse Portfolio covering many different landscape photography situations.
During this Workshop, I am looking forward to putting at your service all the years dedicated to exploring and photographing Dorset together with my extensive tutoring expertise, for a comprehensive and photographically inspiring learning experience!
This Workshop I enjoyed immensely. Though I had already been dabbling with filters for some years, there were many eye-opening moments with new learning. This, combined with stellar locations, gave me the photo-week of the year!
To make the most out of your time with us, we recommend you will bring to the Workshop:
