What to expect.
Whether you’re a newbie excited to dive into photography or a seasoned shooter wanting to polish your skills, my Peak District National Park workshops are the perfect way to level up while capturing the beauty of this landscape. Join me for an unforgettable day of snapping photos, and here’s a sneak peek at what’s in store.
The experience begins before the workshop even starts. After booking, I’ll send you a questionnaire to get a sense of your photography abilities, experience, and goals. Are you new to your camera and looking to understand the fundamentals? Or perhaps you’re keen to master advanced techniques like focus stacking and bracketing? By tailoring the lessons to your specific needs, I ensure the workshop is both challenging and rewarding, no matter your skill level. This personal touch sets the stage for a day that’s all about your growth as a photographer.
Tailored Planning.
Clear details on Time, Location and Routes.
Once your spot is confirmed, you’ll receive all the essential details: the exact time we’ll meet, the location in the Peak District, and a detailed walking route provided via OS maps. For example, in my Woodlands and Waterfalls workshop, we meet at a designated spot before heading into the enchanting woodland, where vibrant golden leaves carpet the forest floor. The OS Map ensures you’re prepared for the hike, allowing you to focus on photography rather than navigation. With everything laid out clearly, you’ll arrive ready to immerse yourself in the experience.
During the workshop, I’ll guide you through a range of photography techniques to help you capture the landscape at its best. Here’s what you can expect to explore:
Composition: Learn how to frame your shots to create balanced, eye-catching images. Whether it’s positioning a lone tree against a dramatic sky or capturing the symmetry of a bluebell-lined path. Using nature to lead your eye into the focal point and how to simplify a scene.
Exposure: Master the interplay of ISO, shutter speed, and aperture to perfectly balance the bright highlights and deep shadows of the Peak District.
Advanced Techniques: Learn how to shoot like a pro. Using ideas, as well as techniques such as contrast, colour palette, depth and more. You may want to experiment with ICM, learn how to focus stack and create compelling images.
Post-processing: (Optional Add-on) Discover how to enhance your images after the shoot, turning good photos into great ones with simple and advanced editing techniques using Lightroom and Photoshop.

Alan Hall
“William talked through the fundamentals in a way I understood, hinting at little things that can make a good picture great!
We went to a local café for an editing session and again made something totally alien to me understandable!!.”
