After almost a year of research and preparation I am so proud to officially announce the launch of Photo Journeys - a selection of workshops and photo holidays from yours truly.
These are photography workshops hopefully like no other. In addition to photographing wonderful locations (Venice, Paris, Northumberland, Durham and Newcastle initially) anyone attending these workshops will literally be taken on a journey - through the art, culture, food and drink of the area we're studying. Technique is one thing - we'll cover it - but soaking in the sounds, smells, movement and vibrancy of a location is another. For example, we won't just take pretty pictures in Venice. We'll eat 'cicchetti', examine the architecture and art, set up in St Mark's Square and shoot professional models with portable studio lighting at midnight.
That's not just a photo workshop - it's a Photo Journey.
The aim is to create workshops and learning experiences you'll remember for the rest of your life. Whether it's in the UK or abroad, for one day or more, you'll have images to take home like nothing you've ever shot and an experience with like-minded enthusiasts that you'll cherish forever.
This is not something I've undertaken lightly. The last 12 months has seen attendees on my workshops shoot TV stars and nationally-published models, learn professional photography techniques and create shots like never before. Our feedback has been overwhelming, with one corporate client declaring it was 'the best workshop we've ever attended'.
With absolutely zero promotion so far, we've already half-filled our Black and White Darkroom workshop in Newcastle.
