Photography Training in the Lake District
Hands-on portrait and outdoor workshops for beginners and enthusiasts, on our working farm at the edge of Ennerdale. Small groups, plain English, real Cumbrian light.
Workshops & Courses
One-day, small-group workshops from our farm on the edge of Ennerdale — every course capped at six places, every date hands-on from the first hour.
Camera School for Beginners
A friendly first day with your camera — buttons, focus and exposure explained in plain English, then practised straight away around the farmyard.
Composition in the Field
A day outdoors learning to see — framing, leading lines and light at hand-picked locations within ten minutes of the farm.
Light & Flash Essentials
Natural light first, flash second — window light, reflectors and one simple flash setup you can rebuild at home.
Editing & Post-Processing Day
A calm, structured day in the barn turning good raw files into finished photographs — workflow, edits and honest critique.
Portrait & Outdoor Workshop
Making relaxed, natural portraits outdoors — posing people who hate posing, using the farm and fells as your studio.
Bespoke Groups & One-to-One
Private tuition built around you — one-to-one coaching, family sessions or camera clubs, here at the farm or at your venue.
“We believe good photographs are made by people, not by cameras. Our job is to hand every beginner the confidence, the habits and the Cumbrian light to go and make their own.”
One-to-One Tuition
A full private day built entirely around your camera and your pace.
